Message Board Post:
Can anyone help me to determine who the parents of my great great grandfather, George
Wesley Miller were? My problem is that there were 2 other George W. Millers in the same
township, one of them being about the same age as my George. As far as I know, George was
born in either November or December 1850, and died in 1940. He was married in Allen
County August 18, 1886 to Jane Alice (Main) Johnson. (1863-1942) (She was married to a
UNKNOWN Johnson approx 1879-1885??).
Would like to know her 1st husbands (Johnson) name, was told he was older, and a Sea
Captain, and then he died after they had 2 children together. (Andy and Dell Johnson)
George and Jane are both buried at Bethel Cemetery in Paulding County, Ohio, though they
were both born in Indiana from what I know. George's parents may have been from Ohio
or Pennsylvania or ???
Would like any info on their children also (my great aunts and uncles):
Lucy Miller ________?
Harry Nelson Miller 1888-1928 (married 2x) E. Ewing and Nancy/Anna Griswold
Floyd Miller 1889-??? m to ?Nora Donat?
Gerald A. Miller m Bertha_____?
Lula Miller b. 1900 m Charles Donat
Edna Esther Miller--my gr grandmother 1903-1985: married 2x
1st to my Gr Grandfather: Glenn R Morris 1898-1945
then m to Forest Wolford
Would like to know also if there is a connection between Edna and her mother-in-law Emma
Catherine Miller-Morris (b 1874 IN), besides the mother/daughter in law thing. Were they
distantly related, both being Millers?
Emma's parents were Samuel H. Miller (1842-1918 OH) and Sarah June Wiles (1845-1917
IN). She was married to Uri/ Uriah/ Urah R. Morris (1867-???OH-my brick wall) and died in
1922 in Defiance Co Ohio..
Locations for above families include, but are not limited to:
Allen County, Indiana (marriages/births)
DeKalb County, Indiana (residences, births, Millers)
Wabash County, Indiana (Emma & Sarah both born there)
Paulding County, Ohio (burial, births Millers, Morris', Johnsons)
Williams County, Ohio (residence, Emma & Ura)

Unknown Counties in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, possibly there is a connection with
Chicago or Wisconsin???? Pennsylvania? TIMBUKTU?? LOL Looks like they were a traveling
