    3. I am looking for descendants of JEFF MILLER. I think his name may have been THOMAS JEFFERSON MILLER, born Sept. 1861 in Texas. His parents were HARVEY B. MILLER and CECILA ANN FORTENBERRY MILLER JOHNSON. I think that it is possible that JEFF MILLER was married a couple of times, first to a MARGARET who was born in 1866 and may have had children with Jeff named HARVEY MILLER, born March 1881 in Texas and a girl named IDA MILLER born Dec. 1888 in Texas. I have that MARGARET MILLER died on Jan. 13, 1893 and is buried at the Bryant Station Cemetery if this is the same one. Then I have as the second wife, a LULA N. who was born in April 1876 in Texas. I don't know if they had any children or not. JEFF MILLER was the son of my GG Grandmother, CECILA ANN FORTENBERRY MILLER JOHNSON, born in Miss. in 1838. Cecila Ann was married to HARVEY B. MILLER in October of 1859 in Nacogdoches Co., Texas and they had two children that I know of, a son named Jeff Miller and a daughter named SARAH MILLER or DONA MILLER. I have always wondered if there were two girls or if Dona's other name was Sarah. My paternal grandmother and her family all mentioned Dona Miller being married to SAM H. BLANKENSHIP who was a teacher there in BUCKHOLTS, TEXAS when they were kids. They all called him "Uncle Sam." I found a Sam Blankenship and his wife, Sarah Blankenship buried at the Rogers City Cemetery in Rogers, Texas in Bell County and I think these are the same people. I found IDA MILLER living with her grandparents, Redden H. Johnson and Cecila Ann Johnson in the 1900 census in Milam Co. and it stated that she was their grand daughter so I know she had to be the daughter of Jeff Miller. Jeff Miller was suppose to be in law enforcement in Buckholts. I would love to find some of his descendants. I have the names of the children of Sam H. Blankenship and Dona Miller Blankenship listed as: 1. Don R. Blankenship born Feb. 1883 in Texas. 2. Lulu L. Blankenship born Oct. 1885 in Texas. 3. Marion A. Blankenship born May 1889 in Texas. 4. Todd M. Blankenship born Jan. 1892 in Texas 5. Gail C. Blankenship born in July 1893 in Texas 6. Dallas Blankenship born Jan. 1896 in Texas 7. Ona Blankenship born May 1898 in Texas 8. Ollie L. Blankenship born Feb. 1900 in Texas 9. Dora Bell Blankenship born Nov. 1, 1887 in Texas and died May 14, 1888 and is buried at the Bryant Station Cemetery in Milam Co. I would love to hear from any of the descendants of any of these people. Thank you, Jane Little McEndree janemc@airmail.net
