Message Board Post:
First thank you for taking the time to trace this Samuel Miller. This Samuel Miller was
born between 1811 and 1815 based on the census. It appears he was married to Maria about
1843 or before.
Michael Miller's wife Sarah Kasoll Miller's was born in 1796. While possible, it
is improbable that she would have has a child before she was 18.
In the 1860 Request to the Probate Court to sell their father, Michael's, farm, Samuel
is living in Lawrence Co Pa. In the 1863 deed for the sale of Michael's farm, each of
the children came before the court and swore their agreement to the sale to the court.
They did this in the county in which they were living at the time. In this Deed, Samuel
has married a Nancy and is living in Adams Co Indiana. Note: in matters of the home or
pertaining to the home, the wife had to agree to the sale.
So I believe the Samuel Miller born 1811 and 1815 is probably NOT Michael's son
Samuel. There is the possibility that these Millers are cousin of the Michael Miller
family but I have no proof.
I would be willing to sent these probate records and deeds, to any one who is interested
but I would need an email address.
