Hi, Gary, This is in reply to your message on the Salem NJ list... <"I am trying to get information on a marriage between Richard Garsed Johnson and Caroline Miller. 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
