I have just begun to research these lines. There are numerous Millers in
Boone Co from its inception - I have no idea how the Elizabeth Miller that
married William A. Harmon might fit into the picture. The Harmons did not
come from Tennessee. I believe this Harmon family came from VA to KY, then
had a brief stay in Ohio before crossing over into Indiana.
Sorry,
K.

Do you have anyone in your records named Catherine Miller? What part
of
Tennessee did your Millers and Harmons come from? I have a Catherine Miller
who may have married a McDonald/McDaniel in my ancestery and she was born in
Tennessee. I also have some Harmons from Greene County Tennessee. Some of
them came to Indiana and lived near Whitestown
