Thanks to Betty, I can now mail this. >In 1824, the blacksmith William ECKMAN arrived in Wayne Township, at the >future site of Eckmansville. Robert MORRISON died 10 Feb 1863, at age >81, and was buried in Cherry Fork Cemetery. Robert MORRISON's wife >Phebe/Phoebe died 17 Aug 1866, and was buried by his side. She was born >15 Aug 1793. > I have a question about an Eckman family member. I have Esther Anne Eckman born 17 July 1839 in Eckmansville, Adams county. She moved to Hale township, Warren county, Illinois sometime before the 1870 census and died there 14 July 1908. She married George Evans Miller about 1862 most likely in Ohio. He was the son of Oliver Miller and Margaret McCague who had married in Adams county 11 December 1817. George was born in Cherry Fork 26 December 1828. As far as I know Esther was his first wife. I am curious about Esther's parents, does anyone know more about her?
