    1. [VAROCKIN-L] Miller-Kite House?
    2. Mary D. Taffet
    3. Hello, I'm trying to figure out if there is any information available about the Miller-Kite house. I think it is in Rockingham County, but I don't know for sure. This house was built circa 1829 (probably a little before) for a Henry Miller. Samuel Gibbons was the architect. He married Christina Miller, daughter of Henry. I would like to find a map that shows the location of this house, or a description of it, or a picture of it, or preferably all three. I've been told that it is a National Historic Landmark, but that appears to be untrue, as it doesn't seem to be listed on the website for the National Historic Landmarks. I am a Gibbons descendant (of Samuel's brother John Gibbons), and have recently posted a letter written by Samuel's wife Christina: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~mdtaffet/gibbons_letter_1840_03_22.htm This letter, along with the others I have posted, mention the Harnsberger, Hansberger, Conrad, Miller, Furry, Sellers, Yancey, and Bear families, and several other surnames as well. The series is available from: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~mdtaffet/letter_series.htm I am a Yancey, Miller, Gibbons & Bear descendant, and have some limited info on Conrad and Harnsberger, but the other lines are ones I know almost nothing about. My other Rockingham County surnames include Kisling, Kemper, Mauzy, Winsborough, Keffer...surely I'm forgetting a few. -- Mary Taffet mdtaffet@syr.edu
