Looking for additional information on this family; lived on large plantation in Rutherford County prior to Civil War; in 1870 census they are in Bedford County. Would like to have info on their parents.

For more information on the Miller family may I suggest the book, Millers of Millersburg or feel free to contact me for additional information.

Hi Kristi,

I am researching the Millers and came across this line..can you tell me what this court action is about ?? I will order a copy of it anyway for my records.

I have lineage records and informaion, but little else, so I am going to start researching the Miller line.

My grandfather, Eastman Miller was decended from the Millers of Millersburg...

thanks for any info...Kt

This is all the info that I have. I am not related, just trying to help with a lookup from a book that I own.

If you need help getting copies, let me know.

I saw your reply about the book,: the Millers of Millersburg".
Could you tell me if you have a copy of hte book ?? If so, what would you charge me to copy it off ??? I am decended from Isaac Miller thru Jesse Franklin Miller and his decendants. I have seen the book once at an LDS library, but it was in another state and I have never been able to get back to it and copy it off...
Aside from the Miller information, I would like to see the Johnson information.

Any help or information would be appreciated.
Thanks,KT

If you have access to Heritage Quest, the Millers of Millersburg is on that site under their books. And you can view each page and copy the ones you want. I had tried to get a copy and then discovered it on HQ.

Hi, Thanks for the reply...this is gonna sound dumh..but what is heritage quest and how does one get to it ??? I will try it if I can get directions to it...thanks again,KT

I go through my library. You need a library card and if your library subscribes to Heritage Quest they will give you a password and pin.

Or go to an LDS Family History Center; they usually have it.
