You should check to see who the bondsmen were for the two marriages. And you may find land deeds very helpful. Sometimes the father sells land to the children, or there is a settlement at death, etc. that may name the children. Witnesses may provide a clue too. Good luck. I am looking for information on John Miller and Elizabeth Stumboch/Stumback/Stambaugh/Stamback who married in 1794, in SHenandoah County. I you run across information on them I would appreciate hearing from you. Also on a John Miller and Nancy Allen who married in 1819. ---- Donna Miller <[email protected]> wrote: I am researching John Miller, b. 1809 in Shenandoah Co., son of William and Mary Magdalene Copenhaver Miller. He married in 1833; wife was Mary Ann. Problem is there were two marriage licenses issued that year for a John Miller and a Mary Ann. First was John Miller to Mary Ann Piper, daughter of David Piper on 18 Feb 1833. Second was John Miller to Mary Ann Bowers on 10 Jun 1833. Any suggestions on how to determine which one is the son of William and Mary Miller? The one I’m researching (John) was a widower in 1865 when he married Lucy Spiker. There is a Mary Ann Miller, wife of John and daughter of David Piper, buried in the Miller-Minnick-Barb Cemetery, and her date of death is 1874. Information passed down to me through the Miller family indicates that Mary Ann Piper is our ancestor, but I’m thinking that may be incorrect. Part of the difficulty in determining who’s who is that there were MANY people named John Miller living in Shenandoah Co between 1810-1890.
