Debbie, Hello again. The house I was inquiring about was the one built for Capt. Henry Miller by his future son-in-law Samuel Gibbons, sometime between 1826 and 1829. This particular Henry Miller's wife was Mary Catherine Price. Henry was an Adam Miller descendant, but I don't know the exact connection. Someone else off-list has provided some information. Apparently the house is in the Elkton area. -- Mary Debbie Bear wrote: > > Mary, > Hi this is Debbie.
