I believe my Miller family came from New York and the Tioga County area and I am trying to track them down. I am hoping someone has already worked on Millers in the Tioga area as it appears there were two Hugh Miller families living there in 1800 and 1810. I located my oldest Miller ancestor, Hugh Miller, on the 1820 Federal Census in Clark County, Illinois, enumerated next to Hugh Miller, Jr. his son. In the 1850 Clark Co., Census, Hugh Miller is listed as 60 and born in New York, as is his wife Mary. There are several other Millers, probably Hugh's sons, listed on the same census page with Hugh in 1850. I am assuming that by 1850 Hugh Miller Sr. is deceased and the Hugh Miller listed in 1850 is the Hugh Miller listed as a Jr. in 1820. In any event, the Hugh Miller listed in 1850 would have been born about 1790 in New York. I am told that in the 1800 New York Census Index there is a Hugh Miller listed with two males between the age of 0-10 and two females between the ages of 0-10, which would fit in with my Hugh Miller family. There is a second Hugh Miller listed with 2 males between 0-10, 1 female between 0-10 and one female between 10-16. both of these Hugh Millers are listed in Tioga County. There is one Hugh Miller listed in the 1810 census in Tioga County and none in 1820. I strongly suspect that one of the Hugh Miller families in Tioga county are my family. I also believe that Hugh Miller senior was married to an Emma Barr, and that one of their other boys was named William C. Miller (who also is living in Clark Co., Illinois in 1850). Some of the Millers may have moved to Pennsylvania, but I believe the families finally ended up in Clark Co., Illinois for about three or four decades. There may be a connection between my Miller family and the John Miller listed as a state assemblyman from Tioga during the period 1804 - 1807. If anyone has any information on the Millers, Barrs, or a Ketchum surname from Tioga County, I would appreciate your contacting me. let me know.
