Hello, Millers! The Millers of BourbonCo, KY were Maj. John Miller and brothers, Robert and William. These men settled in BourbonCo c1778 with Maj John Miller founding the town of Millersburg. Brother William (Sr) had the following sons: Robert (eldest), Thomas (bn 1786), and William Jr (bn aft 1790). There is a fair amt of data on Thomas, who went to CallawayCo, MO c1826 and also founded the town of Millersburg in MO. There is NO data on Wm Jr beyond his circa bdate. I believe my William Miller was the son of Wm Sr and brother of Thomas Miller. Although the history on Thomas says he md Elizabeth Dodd in 1823 BourbonCo, KY (and this appears to be fact), I believe he first went to FranklinCo, IN where he md Elizabeth Armstrong in 1813 and appears in the 1820 Franklin census with 3 daus and wife. He is not in the 1830 census. I believe his wife and possibly 2 small daughters died and that he returned to KY between 1820-1823 and md Elizabeth Dodd before removing to CallawayCo, MO c1826. I can't quite buy the idea that Thomas Miller first md in 1823 at the age of 37, so suspect he must have had a first wife. It is in FranklinCo, IN that my William first appears when he md Martha Timberman in 1823. I have found nothing to indicate he is connected to the other large Miller family in FranklinCo, and appears he went to FranklinCo alone sometime after 1820. Since family usually follows family, I believe William selected FranklinCo because his brother, Thomas, was already there. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have Millers, Armstrongs, or Dodds in the above mentioned areas of KY, IN, or MO in the time frame of 1810-1840, and who might shed some light on my Miller family situation. Cheers, Nel
