    1. [MILLER-L] Know Nothings
    2. Has anyone ever heard of the Know Nothings? Aparently, my John MILLER/MUELLER lived in Miller "Hollar" in Louisville, KY to Elizabeth, IN. It is thought the reason he left KY was because of a gang called the "Know Nothings" who were killing Germans-and claiming they knew nothing about it. He supposedly ran for his life. Does anyone else have any information on this? What I have on my line is undocumented and I have not spent any time on it other than gathering info. from relatives. Here's what I have: John MUELLER note on John: Butcher by trade m.Catherine note on Catherine: When she died, she was buried in an old cemetary and was later moved. They noticed her casket was extra heavy and decided to open it. They found her body had been petrified and her son, George, was to have said her body was just as it was when she was buried except the glass top of the casket was broken and had mashed her nose. John and Catherine's children: Clara MILLER/MUELLER b.1854 d.1933 m.WESTBECKER George MILLER/MUELLER b.Nov. 11, 1855 d.Aug. 21, 1944 note on George: George did not know the date of his birth and later years took Armistice Day as his birth date. Could not read or write. m.Lina WILSON b. May 21, 1859 d. May 29, 1898 George and Lina's children: Corty(Tom) b. 1884 d. 1969 Ollie Josie Katie b. Aug. 12, 1887 d. May 29, 1888 Fred b. April 22, 1892 d. 1935 Anna Leora(Linnie) b. June 30, 1896 d. April 1, 1972 Infant Daughter b. May 29, 1898 d. May 29, 1898 m. Matihilda b. June 12, 1867 d. June 7, 1944 George and Matihilda's children: Louis George Paul Mary Frank I do not know when the MUELLER became MILLER. I believe it was with George or his kids. I would greatly appreciate any help with any of this! Thanks so much and happy hunting!!-Adrienne Menteer Latshaw Researching: MENTEER, MILLER/MUELLER, BELCHER, SANDERS, BROWN
