His obit says he was born in "Rockpost, Lehigh County" in 1845. > > No one seems to have ever heard of Rockpost. I have gotten responses to > this question which I previously posted and all of them suggested that Rock > Port, Lehigh Twp., Carbon County may be the place. But extensive census > research turned up nothing. > > According to his wife's obit, Charles E. Miller was married in Lock Port, > Northampton County, just across the river from Lehigh County. Also, I > believe he enlisted in the 47th Regt. Pa. Vols., a regiment which was > recurited (in part)in Allentown. > > This would seem to show that perhaps he lived in an area north of > Allentown, perhaps, North Whitehall Twp., which is in Lehigh County just > across the river from Lockport, Northampton County. > > Charles was Lutheran. > > Does the name "Rockpost" ring a bell with anyone? Perhaps the place was not > a town but a landmark. > > I am trying to locate his whereabouts before he moved to Luzerne County.
