I am wondering if anyone has any information about Catherine Miller (2-23-1808 Kinderhook
or Stuyvesant NY to 11-25-1885 Sylvania, Bradford County, NY). She married Henry Card
(1789 N. Kingston, RI to 1877 Sylvania, PA). Her parents were Cornelius D. and Anna
(Nichols?) Miller. I found Cornelius and Anna in the 1875 census where they had death
listings. They were in Stuyvesant, Columbia county in 1870. Family history says that
Catherine grew up in Kinderhook as a neighbor to Martin VanBuren and that after he became
president, he brought her a Jewish Elm tree from one of his trips oversees. It was planted
on the CARD homestead and was there until the early 1900's when it was stuck by
lightening. I cannot find the two in the same census.
