Here is a little more. These were Elmore H (Fred's) parents: Jane Cascaddan Miles who was born in 1831 in Dally Shannon, Ireland. She came to Tinwick, P.Q. In 1852 she married James Miles (I wonder if he was John's brother?) Her children were: James C., Emma E (could she have had an "Aunt Emily"?), George W., Elmore H (Fred), Christiana J., Adaniron (sp?) and Frederick E. These were all Cynthia's contemporaries, more or less. Also, I found a little more (b. dates etc.) on Fred's children and their spouses... but won't list it unless we find they were related in some way and you are interested.
