I am seeking Jacob J. MILLER who married Edith Bell in Floyd Co, IN sometime in the
mid-1850s? Their son, Cyrus Bradford MILLER is my great great grandfather. The Jacob J.
MILLER I am seeking died in Oklahoma in 1899 (I think).
I don't know any information for Edith Bell.
I think Jacob's father was named Henry and that he came from Miller's Mill
(Fincastle), VA around 1820 to Floyd County.
A cousin found a Jacob I. Miller married to an Edith living with Sarah BRADFORD (a widow)
and her daughter Emma in the 1870 Indiana census. Their children's names match Cyrus
Bradford's siblings so I am not certain whether Jacob's middle initial is I or
J-it could just be bad handwriting on the census information.
I am seeking my family's "original" MILLER. By this I mean the one who came
over from Germany. I know his name is Joseph MILLER. We have a trunk that is called
"Old germany" with his name on it. It is called that as Joseph made it himself
in Germany and brought it with him and it has been passed down ever since. Any help would
be appreciated-
