I have a Miller connection I'd love to solve.
Elizabeth Miller married 17 Jun 1847 to William Alexander Harmon. The
1850
census for Boone Co indicates she was born 1826 in Indiana. They had
two
children in that census, James N., age 2, and an infant, Mary Elizabeth
[my
g grandmother].
I've been told Wm Harmon died 3 Jan 1881 and is buried Salem Cemetery in
Eagle Township, Boone Co. I don't know about Elizabeth's death.
Donnagene, can you tell me more about the John F. Miller family?
