I copied some records from his probate file a number of years ago in which were included a bill for carpentry work that he had done as well as a sad note that requested that his daughters be taken to family in Missouri.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491881440588861540.post-40046087563995881082010-06-11T14:02:44.689-06:002010-06-11T14:02:44.689-06:00I am a descendant of John Miller and until now, I ...I am a descendant of John Miller and until now, I did not know that his middle initial was "M". I have information to support the fact that he was hanged in October of 1862 and this tragic story has been passed down in his family through correspondence and obituaries. Luella did not die in 1862 as written within "The Real John Miller..." story. She lived to be nearly 90 and was my great-grandmother 2. Nancy L., the eldest also lived to be very old. The girls can be found in 1870 Census with their grandparents Sandusky (with that name) in Carroll County. In fact, James Sandusky was a wagonmaker and built the wagon that brought them home from Texas by John Miller's brother Thomas. Anyone can contact me at SWooly1@netscape.net for answers to questions.
