    1. [MILLER-L] RE: MILLER brickwall
    2. Charles, Thank you for your willingness to help find those elusive Millers. I am seeking information on JOSEPH MILLER b. 27 March 1809 in possibly Uniontown, Fayette County, PA. Joseph died 29 July 1891 in Perryton (formerly Elizabethtown), Licking County, Ohio. He was married to Elizabeth Custer b. 9 May 1813 in Deerfield, Ohio. Elizabeth was the daughter of Jacob Custer and Elizabeth Leatherman. Elizabeth Custer died 2 November 1888 and is also buried in the Perryton Cemetery, Perryton, Licking County Ohio. The following children were born to Joseph and Elizabeth - all were born in Perryton, LIcking County, OHio: 1. Sarah "Jane" b. ca. 1830 - married a Swinehart 2. George A. b. 11 Oct. 1841 3. Amanda E. b. ca. 1843 4. Abner Thomas b. 31 Jan. 1845 married Mary Crow...Abner served in Co. F. 135th OVI and was taken prisoner at North Mountain, VA. and spent 7 months in Andersonville Prison. 5. Minerva Esther b. ca. 1847 6. Henry A. b. 1851 7. Rosealia (ROSA) b. 22 Feb. 1854 married A.J. Welch 8. David H. b. 14 Oct. 1855 married Cora Fleming...David H. Miller was a doctor in Newark, Ohio. 9. LebbeusDunn b. 11 May 1858 married Maud Bauer. I have had problems researching this line because there seemingly were two Joseph MIllers who came to the same area in Licking County at about the same time. One Joseph came from VA, and mine came from PA. Licking County records have the two intertwined. I believe there is a strong connection to the Custer family in Fayette County, PA. The grandfather of Elizabeth Custer was GEORGE CUSTER who resided in Fayette County, PA. George's son Jacob went to Ohio and it is possible that because of this connection, Joseph MIller went to Ohio and married Elizabeth. That is only speculation. According the the HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY, the parents of Joseph Miller are GEORGE MILLER and an INFIELD (ENFIELD). I have never been able to find any concrete proof regarding that information. Joseph did name his first born son George, so it is quite possible that a George MIller was the father of Joseph. I have also not been able to connect my Joseph to Fayette County, PA. There were many George MIllers there at that time. ANY help with this elusive family would be most appreciated. They have been my brick wall for years. I was rather resigned to thinking that they had been sent back to the mother planet for refusing to make crop circles, and had just given up. Thank you for reactivating my interest. Sincerely, Kathy Mulvihill Tampa, Fla.
