Derr Bible.doc (1126KB)
My e-mail is katbaloo(a)sbcglobal.net and I have a doc 115 pgs long on the Derr line from
various States. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in getting that and copy
of the Bible we found. Kay Schroy
Kay (Per Robert Lewis' research of the Bible we found!)
Guess what! In doing research on the John W. Derr Bible records, I discovered that
Susannah Miller, mother of John W.,Derr's wife, Elizabeth, and wife of Henry Miller,
was originally Susannah Derr (b, 25 Dec 1779), a dau. of John Martin Derr, Jr. Not only
that, but she was the second wife of Henry Derr, whose first wife was also a dau. of John
Martin Derr: Maria Barbara, known as Barbara,(.b. 6 Nov 1775) who was the actual mother of
Elizabeth, mentioned as "Betsy" Miller, dau. of my dau. Barbara, dec'd"
in John Martin's will of 1809. Then, when I found the burial site of Henry and Barbara
Miller - Boonsboro, Wash. Co., MD. Who was buried next to them but another dau. of John
Martin Derr: Mary, (Anna Maria Derr, b,1772) who had married a George Miller, and was
mentioned as Mary Miller, wife of George, in John Martin Derr's will. The Bible record
calls her Aunt Mary Miller and gives her death date. the same that is on her tombstone.
Her tombstone says she was the "wife o!
f George Miller of Washington City " Another dau. mentioned in the Bible records was
"Aunt Christena Shryock" who was Anna Christina Derr, b. 9 Mar 1763 in PA and
married George Valentine Shryock. his really is a connection between our two Derr
families! Robert
