I remember Mom talking about Aunt Joy and Aunt Katherine, but none of the others. I think because Joy and Katherine were younger of the kids and closer to Mom's age.
In the article we find out Mom's Great Grandfather Carroll Miller's father was Daniel Miller, born in Germany, April 12 1806. Mom ALWAYS said she thought the Miller side of the family went back to Germany! When Mom's Great Grandfather, Daniel Miller was 18 he sailed on an emigrant ship to the U.S. suffering storms, pirates and lack of drinking water. He landed in Baltimore. He was a Blacksmith by trade, he drifted southward and worked as a blacksmith on slave plantations. He met and married Mary Jane Moore (Mom's Great Grandmother) they married in Herrodsburg, Kentucky.
Carroll was born in Saginaw County, Illinois in 1857. During the Civil War the family lived near Booneville, Mo. (Marty can relate to Booneville, since he was born there!) They had a promising corn crop in the river bottom until General Price's army moved through destroying the crops and taking all the livestock.
Moving to Bates Country after the Civil War, Carroll met and Married Susan Eveline Kisner on January 1, 1890. Her Grandfather, Samuel Kisner, settled in West Virginia after the Revolutionary War. He married Mary Wooget. Her Father was Ashford Kisner.
