I have been trying to find the parents of our Amanda Miller, we have very little to go on. She was born in Jules Co., Ill. April 13, 1864. She was born after her father went to the Civil War, of which he never came home. We do not have a first name for him. Her mother is listed as a PATCH (no first name) on Amanda's death Certificate. She was living with the Jinks family in the census of 1880. She later married (9-25-1883 in Beloit, Mitchell Co., Kansas) the youngest son of the family, Sereno Dexter Jinks. We do not know what happened to her mother, did she remarry or did she die young. Any information on this family would be great. Have at least one line from Amanda, and working on others. Sharon CA
