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.
