I am seeking info or family members related to
Leander Miller (b. 2/2/1802 in KY d. 8/16/1858 in St Joe MO)
Married (Virginia? ________?) b. 1814 or 1815 in KY
Children:
Richard b. 1837 Unknown what happened to him
Sarah b. 1839 oral family history says she died at finishing
school in St Louis MO in 1850s
Ellen (Helen) my GGgrandmother b.1842 married Israel Hamman in St. Joesph, Mo 1861
d. 12/18/1908.
Leander was a merchant in Manchester, Clay County, KY. I have found tibits on the web for him. In 1840 he has 13 people at his residence 4 are slaves and the rest are free white persons.In 1850 the family is listed w/ 3 other persons and is also listed on the KY slave schedules with 11 slaves.
Thank you to those who have posted court records showing his involvement w/ the Bates Baker shooting and the guardianship of Bates children. Also on record as a merchant in Manchester providing money for Milley Henson and new husband William Densel in 1833.
It is unknown where he was born or who he married. Family oral history has him related to Samuel Freeman Miller, Supreme Court Judge, appointed by Lincoln.
Would love to hear from anyone who has more info or is related.
Thank you,
Robin Landgren
