Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1181 Surname: Miller, Sirbaugh, McDonald, Oates, Anderson, Kerns, Saarbach, Hauver, Harmon, Reid ------------------------- Some time ago, I was asked to provide what I knew about my greatparents, Amos Miller, 1857-1915/Mary Elizabeth Sirbaugh, 1858-1907. I intended to provide this, but did not. I also lost the query reference and e-mail address. Mea Culpa! The following is for my lost querier: Amos Miller's father is Stephen Miller, both of whom are listed in Daniel P. Oates's "The 1860 Federal Census of Hampshire County, Virginia," page 43. Stephen is then age 60, and living with his second wife, Sarah A. Heironimus, age 37. Amos is Wesley T. Miller, age 3. The middle initial is an error of the enummerator. Amos' birth name is controversial, but consensus is that it is Wesley Amos Miller. The human source of what I know was given to me by Connie (Miller) Howdyshell, deceased, daughter of James Robert Miller. I will make every attempt to respond appropriately to any query request for a copy of the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) family group sheet for Amos & Mary Elizabeth, which provides data for their five children: Bertha Estella, Elmer Bruce, James Robert, Charles William, and Lester Paul.
