She was a Dagley by birth, her mother's maiden name was Dorcas Crowley. Her father was James Dagley, II. She was born right next to Ray County Missouri, at Liberty, Clay Co., Missouri, July 20, 1822, and died in Jackson County, Oregon, May 29, 1898. She was a school mistress, and "head" of the Little Bethel Primitive Baptist Church. The church had a schism, and she and Abe took it on the road. It became known as the "Chuch that travelled". Elizabeth came to Linn County in 1843 married to Joseph Turnage, a Primitive Baptist reverend. He died and she remarried to Abraham Miller, Jr. (whose first wife, Julia Ann Miller had recently died. She was killed as the result of an exploding Pot Belly stove, that someone had hidden Black Powder in "to keep it dry, she stoked the stove and it exploded.) They subsequently moved to Jackson County. Abraham was a School administrator, and Elizabeth Miller was known by my grandmother as "Elizabeth Crowley", also Bess.
