I have a Melinda Miller b. Oct 8 1845, Jo Daviess Co, IL, father Samuel, mother Elizabeth (Wever) Miller. Melinda's full name is Sarah Melinda Miller and she married Jasper Newton Johnson b. Oct 5/6, 1837, on July 3, 1866, Carroll, IL. They had 8 children, one of which Alice B. Johnson married John Edwin Wilford. Alice and John are my husbands grandparents so I am also searching for any information.
You say they were all in Irish Hollow in 1850, where is Irish Hollow?
