Lisa, Hello, I am related to the Millers of Allen Co.,Ky. but I don't have this Eliza A. Miller. I am thinking she is related to my Millers, but I have lots of holes in this family. Can't seem to find a common link. I am connected to Carters in various places, no strong lines, but am curious if you have anything on a Mattie Carter b-April 4, 1895 and d-Dec 13, 1922 in Allen Co., Ky. she was married to Andrew Jackson (Shag) Harrison Jr. Andrew Jackson Harrison Sr. is my gr gr gr grandfather.
