Ronnie, Bless you! This is the most detailed info I have seen on DeForrest; thank you so much! This name is still used in our family, and my father's older brother is DeForrest MILLER who is 90 yrs. young! I believe that this J. A. MILLER is prob. Jesse MILLER, another brother who died. Thank you so much; I will try to look further into this one to see if it is Jesse. Thank you a million!
