Dot, Thanks for your info. There are several Miller families in Salem. I don't know if they are related. Caroline's mom is actually where I am stuck. I was hoping that if I could find the marriage certificate, I might be able to get her maiden name. Caroline's Dad, John Miller, 3rd was a Private in the 12th NJ and was killed during the Civil War. If you want me to I can check my records on the 12th to see if I can find anything on Samuel. The 12th was organized at Salem.

The wedding was in Salem, November 6, 1872. I am particularly interested in information about the parents of the bride and groom. Did Salem issue marriage licenses at this time?"> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A while back I posted a message regarding an embroidered sampler that I purchased. It was from 1876, a commemorative work for the U.S. Centennial. The name SAMUEL S. MILLER appears on the work along with an eagle. The individual from whom I purchased it said that it was from a MILLER estate in Salem, NJ and that Samuel was in/may have died (?) in the Civil War. That is all the information he had. I have tried to research a Civil War pension file, but to no avail. In your wanderings through your family tree, if you have or in the future run into any information that may fit this scenario, I would be very interested. Thanks. Happy hunting. Dorothy Dresher, PA
