I'm having a difficult time finding some information on the children of Caroline (McKee) & Leslie Miller who settled in Benton County, IA in the 1870s & 80s. They had 10 children in all, but these are the ones I'm looking for more information on. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Alexander “Aleck” Miller, b. July 1849 in Northampton County, PA, moved with brothers and sister to settle bef. 1880 in Taylor Township, Benton County, IA, m. Pauline W. Taschner, ca. 1889 in Iowa, d. 1906 in Vinton, Benton County, IA, buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Vinton, Benton County, IA; 1 child Arthur, died in Los Angeles.
Leslie Miller, Jr., b. December 1852 in Northampton County, PA, moved with brothers and sister to settle bef. 1880 in Taylor Township, Benton County, IA, m. Josephine Emma Scoville, 1883/4; 3 children: Ira, Marion and Franciene. Last known residence was Rock Rapids in Lyon Co. IA.
Andrew Jackson Miller, b. February 1858 in Northampton County, PA, m. Maranda S. Scoville, 23 September 1919 in Vinton, Benton County, IA; 2 adopted children: Helen Jeannette and Mary E. Miller - last residence in 1930 in Vinton
Hannah “Mary” Miller, b. 1862 in Westfield Township, Bureau County, IL, moved with brothers to settle bef. 1880 in Taylor Township, Benton County, IA, m. Dwight Ely, 19 October 1892 in Taylor Township, Benton County, IA, m. William P. Mayes, bef. 1920 in Iowa, d. 1943 in Vinton, Benton County, IA, buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Vinton, Benton County, IA - buried with first husband Dwight Ely, but can't find any death information for Mary Mayes in 1943?
Warren S. Miller, b. ca. 1865 in Westfield Township, Bureau County, IL, moved with brothers and sister to settle bef. 1880 in Taylor Township, Benton County, IA, m. Clara A. (?); nothing more known - may have moved to NY and then Detroit, MI.
George Miller, b. May 1867 in Westfield Township, Bureau County, IL, m. Viola (??), ca. 1905 in Vinton, Benton County, IA, d. 1947 in Vinton, Benton County, IA, buried 1947 in Evergreen Cemetery, Vinton, Benton County, IA; 1 child, Lola L. Miller - last in 1920 census in Vinton.
Harry Miller, b. July 1870 in Westfield Township, Bureau County, IL, m. Alice S. Scoville, 30 September 1903 in Cedar Rapids, Linn County, IA; 1 child, daughter Marian L. Miller - had moved to Cedar Rapids, Linn Co. IA so may need to look there.
Any clues or help on this family would be greatly appreciated! Three of the sons married three Scoville sisters - so there may be some family information on the Ira Scoville family that may help as well.
thanks!
