Hi Clay County Listers,
I am seeking info on the below MILLER family. John MILLER married his
second or third wife, Lydia Jane in abt 1869 and moved to Posey Township,
Clay County from Martin County, Indiana before the 1880 census.
I have not been able to find any of these MILLERs beyond the 1880 US Census
and would appreciate help in adding to this branch of my MILLER family. One
would think that with unique names like Lafayette and Mathias I should be
able to find them, but no luck as of yet. Did they stay on in Clay County
or move on again? Who did these kids marry?
Thank you for all assistance,
Dale Miller Payne
