    1. [NYSARATO] re: Pres. Fillmore's wife from Stillwater
    2. <<The Saratogian had an article on 21 Feb 2000 about Abigail Powers who was born in Stillwater. He met her in New Hope when he was a 19 year old student of hers and she was 21. Their engagement lasted 9 years while he struggled at his legal practice. They were married in 1826. .....The Fillmores had two children: Mary, nicknamed Abby and a son Millard Powers Fillmore. Neither married so there are no descendants. >> Small world! While it's true that President and Mrs. Millard Fillmore have no direct descendents, they share the same roots as Newell Miller about whom I wrote earlier today. In December, 1662, Robert(3)(Robert(1)John(2) MILLARD married Elizabeth SABIN daughter of William SABIN. They had ten children in Rehoboth, MA. Nehemiah, born in 1668, was their third child, second son and retained the spelling MILLARD rather consistantly through next generations at least. Ephraim was their seventh child, sixth son. He and his descendents(as well as many MILLARDs interchanged MILLARD, MILLERD and MILLER settling on MILLER by the next generation. President Millard Fillmore's line goes from Robert Millard>Nehemiah Millard>Robert Millard (who moved to Dutches Co, NY)>Abiathar Millard>Phoebe Millard>Millard Fillmore. My ancestry goes Robert Millard>Ephraim Millard/Miller>Daniel Miller Sr>Daniel Miller Jr>Newell Miller. Pat
