You know, it doesn't pertain to my question, but inquiring minds want to know. When John Miller married Anne Clibborn, I THINK they were living in a castle in Moate, County Westmeath, Ireland, near where my Lowe ancestors lived. The family did own properties elsewhere, and their early whereabouts seem as vague as their origins. Millers seem to have been migratory birds, even for Ireland, so maybe this question is pointless, but I'm curious to know if he was living in southern County Westmeath/ northern Kings County at the time.
