The Family of the Reverend
Robert and Mary (HIGHFIELD) MILLER
I found a narrative by Nathaniel C. HUNTER on
the internet. It appears, based on the content and what I already
know, to be genuine. The information with an * in front is taken from that
narrative. Where it disagrees with
what I already have, I have either kept both pieces of information and indicated
Nathaniel's with an * or I
verified the information, cited the source and kept only the correct
information.

DAVID SELSOR MILLER This well-known man was for many years a
prominent farmer and dealer in stock. He is now practically retired
from business, though he still retains his agricultural interests and is
also a shipper of hay. Before referring more particularly to his
personal career it will be appropriate to note a few facts regarding his
ancestors. David Selsor MILLER is a member of one of the
notable pioneer families of Ohio. His great-great-grandparents, Robert
and Elizabeth MILLER, of Scotland, emigrated to Prince George county,
Md., in 1738. In this county their eldest son, David, was born, and
here he was married to Miss Rachel BLACKWOOD, who was also born in
this county. Her mother, Ann SWAIN, was born in this country,
but her father, John BLACKWOOD, was a native of England. David
MILLER was a gallant and patriotic soldier of the Revolution and died
in the service in 1778. His son, Robert, was born in Prince George
county, Md., on the 19th day of August, 1767. He was married to Miss
Mary HIGHFIELD on the 19th day of January, 1793, and in a few days
thereafter removed to Buckingham county, Va. In the spring of 1797 he
removed to Kentucky and settled in Mason county. He was ordained a
deacon of the Methodist Episcopal church by Bishop ASBURY in
Cincinnati in 1809 and was later ordained an elder by Bishop Robert R.
ROBERTS. Becoming thoroughly dissatisfed with the institution of
slavery Rev. Mr. MILLER emancipated his slaves in 1912 and removed to
Champaign (now Clark) county, Ohio. He was uncompromising foe of
slavery and intemperance and his pronounced views on these questions were
far in advance of his time. David MILLER, his eldest son, and
the father of David Selsor MILLER, was born in Buckingham county,
Va., February 12, 1794, and was married to Sarah BENT PARKER
October 28, 1833. He was three years old when he was taken by his
parents to Kentucky and in 1812 accompanied them on their removal to Ohio.
Here he received the advantages of such schooling as was the lot of the
farmer boy in that early day. On April 7, 1827, he came to what is now
known as Pitt township, Wyandot county, Ohio (at that time Salt Rock
township, Marion county), and settled in what was then called the Sandusky
Plains. He entered land and bought it at the first land sale held
there, and on that tract he made his home. Altogether he entered and
bought one thousand acres of land in what is now Pitt township, Wyandot
county. He started active life there a comparatively poor man, but was
energetic and ambitious and soon gained a competency. He made a
business of going to Indiana and Illinois to buy cattle which he brought to
the Sandusky Plains and grazed during the summer. He then drove them
to market at Philadelphia, Penn., or to Baltimore, Md. He was also the
pioneer sheep raiser of this county and a breeder of fine cattle and horses.
At the time of his death he was the owner of five thousand acres of land in
Wyandot county. At one time he held the office of county commissioner
of Marion county, Ohio, and after the organization of Wyandot county he held
the same office there. he was formerly a stanch Democrat, but upon the
formation of the Republican party he joined that organization. he was
one of the principal supporters of the first Republican paper published in
Wyandot county. David MILLER was thoroughly Methodist in his
religious views and his home was the stopping place for itinerant preachers.
He was a man of strong mentality and was foremost in the advancement of all
worthy enterprises. He built the first frame house in Wyandot county.
He died on the 28th day of August, 1855, at the age of sixty-one years, and
now lies in Oak Hill cemetery, situated south of Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
David MILLER's wife, whose maiden name was Sarah BENT, was
born on the 19th day of August, 1806,in Belpre, Ohio. She was the
daughter of Abner and Elizabeth (WILLIAMS) BENT, who settled
in Marion county, Ohio, at a very early day. Her ancestry dates from
John and Edith BENT, residents of England, the former of whom died
July 11, 1588, and the latter in 1601. Her grandfather, Silas BENT,
was born in Sudbury, Mass., April 14, 1744. He saw service in Captain
Ephraim JACKSON's company in Canada in the French and Indian war.
He served as private, ensign and first lieutenant in the Revolutionary war.
On July 1, 1781, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the Seventh
Regiment, Massachusetts militia, and held this position until his removal
from Rutland in 1798. He was a member of the Ohio Company at Marietta.
Mr. BENT and others laid out Belpre, Ohio, which was situated sixteen
miles down the Ohio river. At this place he spent the remainder of his
days. He died April 4, 1818, respected by all who knew him. The
connection of his ancestors with Revolutionary war entitles our subject,
David Selsor MILLER, to membership in the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution. Abner BENT was a farmer residing in Marion
county, Ohio. He was born in 1780 and died in 1834. His
daughter, Sarah BENT, was quite young when brought to Marion county.
She was married in 1826 to George PARKER, who died in 1828.
They were the parents of one child, Mary Ellen, who was born March 19, 1827,
in Marion county, Ohio, married F.F. FOWLER October 23, 1851, and
died January 30, 1877, near DeWitt, Ark. Mrs. Sarah BENT PARKER
was again married October 28, 1833 to David MILLER. She
survived her husband about four years, dying on the 24th day of June, 1859,
at the age of fifty-three years, and also lies in Oak Hill cemetery.
She was an active and worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
David and Sarah MILLER were the parents of three children, viz.:
Maria M., born November 21, 1835, married in 1855 to R.N. TAYLOR and
died April 1, 1874; Princess A., born August 4, 1837, became the wife of
James H. ANDERSON in 1856, and is now living in Columbus, Ohio, and
our subject. David Selsor MILLER was born in Salt Rock
township, Marion county (now Pitt township, Wyandot county), Ohio, on the
23d day of June, 1843. His boyhood days were spent on his father's
farm and here he attended the district schools. Upon the death of his
father, which occurred in in 1855, his mother with her family moved to Upper
Sandusky, Ohio, where Mr. MILLER attended the public schools.
He also attended the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio, for a short
time. At this time his health failed. In May, 1863, he took a
trip to Europe, spending most of the time in Germany, for the purpose of
recuperating his health, and returned to his native land in January, 1864.
Upon his return he engaged for about one year in farming and stock raising.
Then he went to Alabama, where he bought a large plantation and went into
the business of raising cotton. After spending two years in the south
Mr. MILLER returned to this county and for two years again operated
his farm in connection with stock raising. In 1872 he became a member
of the firm of G.B. STEVENSON & Co., manufacturers of sawmills,
engines, etc. In 1874 this firm was dissolved and Mr. MILLER
again engaged in the live stock business, which he followed about nine
years. In 1885, he went to Pittsburg, Penn., and took a position as
salesman in the stock yards in that city, being with the firm of S.B.
HEDGES & Co. for four years. In 1892 Mr. MILLER engaged in
the hay business. On the 10th day of April, 1873, David Selsor
MILLER was united in marriage with Miss Fannie WITTER, who was
born at Frederick, Md., March 17, 1845, and died on the 15th day of
December, 1888, at Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Her remains were taken back
to her birthplace for interment. Fraternally Mr. MILLER is a
member of Warpole Lodge No. 176, F. & A.M., McCutcheon Chapter, No. 96,
Royal Arch Masons, and Marion Commandery, No. 36, Knights Templar. He
is a thirty-second-degree Scottish Rite Mason, and is a member of the
Ancient Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He has been a Mason
since 1864, joining as soon as he reached the required age. He is a
member of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. After an
active life Mr. MILLER is now living practically a retired life.
By strict attention to the ethics of life he has won a reputation for
probity and is a man whose word is as good as his bond. He has earned
and enjoys the honest regard of the community in which he lives.

HIGHFIELD Conundrum
-
There appear to be two (possibly connected)
HIGHFIELD families in Maryland about the time Mary met and married
Robert MILLER: Jeremiah & Sabra (?) HIGHFIELD and
Leonard & Ann (?) HIGHFIELD. They might have been
brothers as witnessed by the fact that Jeremiah and Sabra named one of their
sons "Leonard." Peden, in More Marylanders to Kentucky, 1778-1828,
states, on p. 77: "Leonard HIGHFIELD served as a private in the
militia of St. Mary's Co, Maryland in 1777. 'Leonard HIGHFIELD,
farmer' moved from St. Clements to Pendleton Co, Kentucky in 1796.
[Ref: S. Eugene Clements and F. Edward Wright's Maryland Militia in
the Revolutionary War, p. 210, and Regina C. Hammett's History of St.
Mary's Co, Maryland (1977), p. 86]." Peden's Marylanders to
Kentucky, 1775-1825 lists Jeremiah HIGHFIELD from Charles Co,
MD, who married Sabra (?) as having the following children born in MD
between 1774 & 1789: Ann Inlow, Jeremiah, Leonard and Sarah Dennis.
Jeremiah moved to Fayette Co, KY in 1789 and his children later moved to
Woodford Co, KY. Peden references Kentucky Ancestors
(Frankfort, KY: KY Historical Society Q1965-1981, p. 138).

From David BERNS 27 Jul 2004, Genform:
Jeremiah HIGHFIELD was born about 1750, probably in MD, He passed
away after 1805 in Woodford Co, KY. It is believed that he had two
brothers named Bennet and Hezekiah HIGHFIELD and that his family may
have originally been from NC. During the Revolutionary War, he was a
private in the Militia and served in the MD 12th Battalion in Captain John PARNHAM's
Company in 1777. He provided wheat for the use of the military in
1782. He is cited in the 2003 DAR Patriot Index for his Public Service
in MD. He is known to have lived in Charles Co, MD and the 1783
tax assessment for that Co shows him owning 93 acres. He moved his
family to Fayette Co, KY and was counted there in the 1790 census.
He later moved to Pendleton Co, KY where he owned 50 acres on Licking
Creek. His wife's name was Sabra ?. The names of the parents of
Jeremiah HIGHFIELD are not known to us. The children of
Jeremiah and Sabra were: Jeremiah Jr (1772) who married Mary TAYLOR
in 1804. John (1774). Anne (1775) who married Jesse ENLOW
in 1795. Leonard (about 1778) who married Margaret TAYLOR on 26
Jul 1810. Henry (1788). Sarah (1789) who married John DENNIS.
John O. (about 1799) and William (1799). It is likely that the two
wives Mary and Margaret TAYLOR were sisters, but we do not know the
parentage of either.

From David BERNS 27 Jul 2004, Genform:
Following is a history of my great-great grandfather Leonard HIGHFIELD:
Leonard HIGHFIELD's birth year is believed to be 1778. He was
born in Charles Co, MD. He passed away in Pendleton Co, KY on
6 Oct 1845. His surname is also sometimes listed as HIEFILL or HIGHFILL.
His family relocated to Pendleton Co, KY before 1803. He was
married 26 Jul 1810 to Margaret TAYLOR. Leonard HIGHFIELD
was a soldier in the War of 1812, a member of the 10th regiment of Kentucky
Militia and was badly wounded in the leg in May 1813 at the Battle of Fort
Meigs in OH. He first appeard on the tax rolls as a landowner in
1826. By 1834, he owned 350 acres and five horses. His home in
KY was a plantation where the manual work was done by a group of
slaves. His wife Margaret passed away at a young age, and he was
remarried in 1822 to Elizabeth AMMERMAN. His last years were
spent on a large farm on Short Creek in Pendleton Co, KY. Our
family histories indicate that the HIGHFIELDs were of German descent,
but this has not been confirmed.

From Tim McGOOGAN 28 Aug 2003 Genforum.
I have an Anna HIGHFILL married to Jesse E. ENLOW. Her
father is Jeremiah HIGHFILL/HIGHFIELD. She has at least
3 brothers: William b 1799, Jeremiah b. 1772, Leonard about 1776 and I
have Anna down as b. 1780. Her Brother William's son married Anna's
granddaughter, Elizabeth ALLEN. Anna and Jesse's Daughter is
Susannah ENLOW 1797-1887 who married Archibald ALLEN
1799-1855. Susannah had Elizabeth 1822-1885 who married Samuel
Greenfield HIGHFILL 1818-1899. Elizabeth had William HIGHFILL
who married Emma Susan OTT. I might have more specific dates
buried here somewhere. If this has been helpful let me know and I can
look for specifics.

Charles D. HUNTER, age 15, b. OH is
living with David Selsor MILLER, Sr. and Sarah BENT in the
1850 Census. There is no relationship given. Who is he? I
cannot find him in the HUNTERs in either this file or in my Nathaniel
HUNTER file (see #110/111). The
MILLERs, with Charles, are living in Wyandot County, OH, at the time of
the 1850 Census.

REV. ROBERT MILLER (deceased). Rev. Robert MILLER was born
in Prince George Co., Md., on the 19th day of August, 1757; his father was
born in America, of Scotch parentage, and died while a soldier for the cause
of American independence, leaving a widow and six children, of whom Robert,
then only 11 years of age, was the oldest. His lot was the usual one in
those days, of a hard struggle with poverty, notwithstanding which he educated
himself in the English branches of study; learned the trade of carpenter and
worked at his trade for several years, until the 19th days of January 1793, he
was married to Mary Highfield (to whom were born three children) and
immediately afterward moved to the State of Virginia, where he lived until the
fall of 1796, when he emigrated to Kentucky, crossing the mountains to the
Monongahela River, near Brownsville, Penn., where he remained during the
winter, and in the spring of 1797, conveyed his family and household goods on
flat-boats down that river and the Ohio to Limestone (now Maysville), Ky., in
which State he settled as a farmer, first in Mason and afterward in Fleming
Co. May 7, 1799, his wife having died, he was married again to Elizabeth
HANSON, who had born to her six children. In the year 1912, he
again removed his family to the Pretty Prairie, in Champaign Co., Ohio, and
bought a considerable body of land in what is now known as Moorefield
Township, in Clark Co., where he died Oct. 18, 1834, and was buried in the

American Periodicals Series Online, page 135
DEATH OF THE REV. ROBERT
MILLER
To the Editor of the Western Christian Advocate:
Our much esteemed brother Robert MILLER, of Clark County, Ohio, died
October 10, 1834, in the 68 year of of his age, surrounded by his numerous
family of children, grandchildren and friends. I would gladly pay a
tribute of respect to the memory of our very exemplary and truly excellent
brother, by giving a brief history of his pious and useful life, which was for
so many years devoted to God and the good of his church; but, such being the
rules of your paper, I must content myself with a few lines. Our much
esteemed brother was born in Prince George County, Md., August 19th, 1767.
His father fell fighting for American Independence, and left little Robert,
with several other children, under the care of their widowed mother.
When a boy, he heard the first Methodist preacher who visited that section of
the country, and soon found the gospel to be "the power of God unto salvation"
--of which he became himself a preacher of no small abilities. His
talent was a little singular from most men; but it was evident he was not
singular in order to be popular--it was peculiar to the man. In an early
day, he removed to Kentucky, and was a witness of, and an instrument in the
great revival of religion that took place under the ministry of McKENDREE,
BURK, and others--came to this state in an early day, and, by the
blessing of God, his industry procured for him a handsome property--a liberal
portion of which was devoted to the building of a meeting-house, and to the
support of the ministry, at home and abroad.--He preached much, for a local
preacher--frequently filling, with general satisfaction, the places of sick
and absent preachers on the circuit. His last illness was a bilious
fever, terminating in a species of palsy. On a visit to his oldest son,
on the Sandusky plains, he was taken unwell, but rode to Mt. Morin meeting
house--preached, and had his last interview with his old and intimate friend,
Dr. J.D. ELBERT--came home, and after suffering excruciatingly, but
patiently, for 10 days, he died.--His last moments were truly interesting.
He said to three of the preachers, who visited him in company a few days
before he left us, "Tell all my friends, that all's well." He gave
charge to all his family, in respect to his will, and their duty, &, then said
to brother J. BOUCHER, "Preach my funeral," & closed his eyes on all
below. Farewell, though man of God, farewell! Wm. H. RAPER.

The Methodist Episcopal Church
was organized in 1812 through the efforts of Rev. Robert MILLER.
First meeting held in the log house of Judge McKINNON, on the banks of
Buck Creek where New Moorefield now stands. It was called "MILLER's
Church: until 1833 when the first church building was erected on the ground
donated by Robert MILLER at a cost of $600. At this time the name
was changed to "Moorefield Methodist Episcopal Church." In 1817, there
were about 70 members in the church and in 1859 the congregation had assumed
such proportions that a new church was found necessary. It was built in
the same year. (Beers History of Clark Co Ohio 1882).

Excerpted from
"John C. MILLER" in The Biographical Record of Clark
Co, OH,
pp. 492-493: Robert MILLER was born in Prince George
Co, Maryland, in 1767, and at the age of about thirty years became a
resident of Kentucky, making his way into that state when the work of progress
and improvement had scarcely been begun there, and ere its admission to the
Union. During the journey of the family to the new home in the western
wilds Reuben MILLER was born, his birth occurring in Fayette Co,
Pennsylvania, January 19, 1797. At that time the emigrant company were
constructing keel boats to carry them down the Monongahela and Ohio rivers to
their destination - the town of Limestone, Kentucky, now known as Maysville,
Kentucky. Robert MILLER took up his abode in Fleming Co, that
state, and became a prosperous landowner and slaveholder. He was also
accounted one of the prominent and influential residents of his community.
His was an irreproachable life in consistent harmony with his professions as a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church, which he joined at an early age.
In 1809, through the appointment of Bishop ASBURY, he became a licensed
local preacher and his strong, logical and convincing utterances made him a
power in his denomination. He was a man of remarkable originality of
thought and his diction was concise and forcible. His sermons were
famous for graphic descriptions and illustrations and his words seldom failed
to arouse his hearers in a way that left a deep impress upon their lives.
With a keen sense of justice, it became apparent to him that the system of
slave holding was wrong, and acting upon his conviction, in 1812, he liberated
all of his bondsmen and with his family removed to Champaign Co, Ohio,
settling upon a large tract of land on Pretty Prairie, which is now within the
limits of Clark Co.
Beers, History
of Champaign Co, Ohio, p. 510: August 1819, Robert Miller
preached to the Indians at Mt. Tabor. A very large colored man named
Jonathan Stuart acted as interpreter. Indians were chiefly Wyandots and
Senecas. They had a great many ponies and dogs with them.

(deceased). Rev. Robert MILLER was born in Prince George Co.,

Township, in Clark Co., where he died Oct. 18., 1834, and was buried in the
graveyard of the Moorefield M.E. Church, being a tract of land which he
himself had donated as the site for a church and for burial purposes.
His own account of his religious life and ministry is quite lengthy, and we
have space for only a few extracts; he wrote of himself as follows "My mother
and most of my relations called themselves church people (the Church of
England), and I thought nobody was right as to religion but them. I
sometimes heard of a people called Methodists, and from what I heard about
them I was exceedingly mad against them, and thought they were the false
prophets. About the 21st year of my age, the Methodists began to preach
in the neighborhood where I lived. Among the rest of the people, I went
to hear what these bad folks would say. The preacher began to preach,
and I to hear; my prejudices were removed; my heart felt the truth of his
doctrine, and I went home in some sense a Methodist. In February, 1789,
I joined the church. April, the same year, the Lord spoke peace to my
soul." From this time forward, all through his life, he was an
uncompromising foe to wickedness of all sorts, so much so as that he said of
himself, "My friends thought I was overmuch righteous because I would not run
with them to the same excess of riot. I became the wicked's by-word and
the drunkard's song." In 1802, he was licensed to preach, when, as he
wrote, "I now begat in my plain manner, to cry aloud against wickedness of all
kinds, such as swearing, Sabbath-breaking, drunkenness, and, above all, the
abominable practice of holding our fellow creatures in bondage. Now the
tongue of persecution was let loose against me by the wicked, and not only by
them but by the religious, so-called, of all denominations, the Methodists not
excepted; but still I went on to preach." Rather an early Abolitionist
for a Kentuckian was this old-time Methodist preacher. The result of
this controversy was that, after manumitting a few slaves which he possessed,
he removed from what he called "the bloody land" to Ohio. In the year
1809, he was ordained, by Bishop Asbury, a local Deacon, and in 1831, by
Bishop Roberts, a local Elder in the M.E. Church. As a preacher, he was
clear, incisive and forcible in his utterance, and famous throughout this part
of Ohio for his quaint and graphic illustrations. Many stories are told
by early settlers of his peculiar gifts and powers in the pulpit, for none of
which have we space in our record. He died, as he had lived, fearing God
and not man, and left a widow, now long since dead, and a large family of
children, who, with their descendants and connections, are among the most
prominent residents of Clark, Champaign and Logan Cos. Having felt the
fires of persecution in his earlier ministry, there was placed, by his own
request, on his tombstone, in the little quiet graveyard above named, the
simple epitaph, "Let me alone."

Synopsis:
-
Excerpted from "John C. MILLER" in The
Biographical Record of Clark Co, OH, pp. 492-493: During
the journey of the family to the new home in the western wilds Reuben MILLER
was born, his birth occurring in Fayette Co, Pennsylvania, January 19, 1797.
Reuben MILLER was reared upon the old homestead farm here [Springfield,
OH] and acquired his education in the schools of this portion of the state.
He also bore his part in caring for the home farm and in controlling the
property, giving his father the benefit of his assistance until he reached his
majority. About this time Reuben Miller was united in marriage to Miss
Mary HEDGES, a native of Berkeley Co, West Virginia, and they became
the parents of seven children: Mrs. Caroline H. HARRIS, who resided
near Monticello, Illinois, but is now deceased; D.B., who was a physician of
Covington, Kentucky, but has also passed away; Mrs. Elizabeth N. OGDEN,
of Keokuk, Iowa, also deceased; Robert Tabb, who died in Springfield just as he
was entering upon what appeared to be a very successful business career; John
C.; Joseph N., a rear admiral of the United States navy, who is now living
retired; and Henry R., who is now a prominent citizen of Keokuk, Iowa. In
order to provide for his family, Reuben MILLER engaged in teaching school
and in surveying land. In 1826, he received the appointment of surveyor of
Clark Co and acted in that capacity for nine years in a most creditable
manner. On the expiration of that period he was elected Co auditor and
his fidelity to duty and the confidence reposed in him is indicated by the fact
that for eighteen consecutive years he filled that position. He inherited
his father's talent for speaking and his zeal for religion, and during all the
years of his public service he also acted as a local minister of the Methodist
Episcopal church and filled various pulpits of central Ohio on Sabbath days in
the absence of the regular pastor. His public utterances were earnest,
thoughtful, logical, and carried weight wherever he was heard. As a
writer, too, he possessed more than ordinary ability and was a most entertaining
conversationalist, being noted for his wit and humor. These
characteristics have been found in many members of the Miller family and
representatives of the name have therefore been of more than local prominence
and importance as well as influence.

Henry R. MILLER, Portrait and
Biographical Album of Lee County, IA, 1887, p. 551. Henry R. MILLER,
of Keokuk, is President, Treasurer, Superintendent and General Manager of Keokuk
Gas-Light and Coke Company, with which he became connected in 1875. He is
thoroughly skilled in all the details relating thereto, and his present
responsible position is abundant evidence of his work and efficiency. Our
subject is a native of Ohio, and was born in Springfield March 31, 1839.
His boyhood was passed in his native city, where he had the advantages of a good
education and received early training in business matters. In 1868 Mr.
MILLER was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth, the eldest daughter
of Judge D. MOOAR, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Keokuk, and of this
union there were born three children - Daniel, Bessie and Howard. Mr. and
Mrs. M. are prominently connected with St. John's Episcopal Church, of which our
subject has been Secretary of the Vestry since 1875. Mr. M. is a prominent
Mason, being the Worshipful Master of Hardin Lodge No. 29, A.F. & A.M.; High
Priest of Gate City Chapter No. &, R.A.M. and Eminent Commander of Damascus
Commandery No. 5.

Synopsis:
-
A bit of confusion with Dudley Breed MILLER's
wife. The Iowa Marriage record, in their own hand, indicates her name to
be Mary Frances RENEAU and indicates this is her first marriage and her
parents as Robert RENEAU and Addie PONTIUS. However, the
birth record of their child, Florence, indicates the parents to be Dudley
MILLER and Mamie (her nickname) PACE. I find no marriage for
Mary France RENEAU or Mamie RENEAU to anyone named "PACE"
so I have no clue where this comes from or why it's listed that way. It's
a bit far-fetched to think someone transcribed "RENEAU" into "PACE"
but I have no explanation for this oddity. If I figure it out, I'll offer
the explanation. Until then, I'm going with the marriage record as I have
no original birth record - just the printed transcription on ancestry and no
source document to which I can refer.

The Biographical Record of Clark Co,
OH, states, on pp. 492ff: John C. MILLER. It is an important
public duty to honor and perpetuate as far as is possible the memory of an
eminent citizen, one who, by his blameless and honorable life and distinguished
career reflected credit not only upon the city but also upon the state and upon
the profession which he represented. John C. MILLER was long a
distinguished member of the Clark Co bar. A man of irreproachable
private life, his example is indeed well worthy of emulation. The memory
of his upright career should serve as an inspiration to those who knew him.
A well known jurist of Illinois said: "In the American state the great and
good lawyer must always be prominent, for he is one of the forces that move and
control society. Public confidence has generally been reposed in the legal
profession and it has ever been a defender of popular rights, the champion of
freedom regulated by law, the fir support of good government. No political
preferment, no mere place can add to the power or increase the honor which
belongs to the pure and educated lawyer." Judge MILLER was one
honored by and an honor to the legal fraternity of Ohio. He stood
prominent among the representative members of the bar of the state and he
attained to his position through marked ability. Springfield may be proud
to number him among her native sons. He was born in this city when it was
but a village, his natal day being April 13, 1834. He came of an ancestry
honorable and distinguished. In the maternal line, he was a lineal
descendant of Sir Charles HEDGES, an English statesman of the seventeenth
century and a member of the cabinet of Queen Anne, the last reigning sovereign
of the house of Stuart. In America the MILLER family has figured
prominently in public affairs establishing the history of the nation. The
great-great-grandparents of the Judge were Robert and Elizabeth MILLER,
who, in 1738, left their home in Scotland and sailed to the new world, taking up
their residence in Prince George Co, Maryland. David MILLER,
the great-grandfather of the Judge, became a soldier of the Colonial army during
the Revolutionary war and in 1778 gave up his life as a ransom for the liberty
of the people.
In taking up the personal history of Judge John C. MILLER, we present to
our readers the life record of one of the distinguished sons of Clark Co.
His early education was supplemented by study in the Ohio Conference High School
of Springfield, at which time the Rev. Solomon HOWARD was principal - a
man of great learning, who afterward became president of the Ohio University of
Athens. Judge MILLER completed his course by graduation when only
fifteen years of age and after leaving school he entered a printing office where
he learned the trade. When he had mastered it he became anxious to prepare
for professional life and at the age of eighteen he entered up on the study of
law under the direction of the Hon. Samuel SHELLABARGER, who in later
years became very prominent, both in the profession and on the floor of
congress, where he represented his district for several terms and was one of the
most prominent attorneys in the famous Hayes-Tilden contest. In April,
1855, after a thorough preparation, Mr. MILLER was admitted to the bar of
Ohio and a few years later began practice in Springfield. He entered upon
his chosen work at a bar which numbered many distinguished members, but his
ability, close application and indefatigable efforts soon won recognition and he
gained a very desirable reputation for a young man - a reputation that increased
as the years went by, gaining him distinction as a leading jurist of the state.
In public affairs he was prominent and honored. In April, 1861, he was
chosen mayor of Springfield by a very flattering majority and when the Civil war
broke out, less than a month later, he immediately became identified with all of
the measures for the promotion of recruiting, for relief to soldiers' families,
and for everything that could pertain to the Union cause in defending its
welfare. He was chairman of the citizens' military committee of Clark
Co, and he afterward served as a private in the One Hundred and Fifty-second
Regiment of Ohio Infantry, in the company of Captain BUSHNELL, who was
later governor of Ohio. In the fall of 1861, he was elected prosecuting
attorney of Clark Co and was several times reelected to that office.
In 1869 he was chosen city solicitor of Springfield and was retained in that
position by continued reelections until 1876, when he resigned to accept the
office of probate judge, to which he had been elected in the previous October.
Four times he was chosen for that position and before the close of his fifth
term he was elected one of the judges of the court of common pleas of the second
judicial district, at the general election in the fall of 1890. Taking his
place upon the bench of that court, he there served until his death in 1900.
A man of unimpeachable character, of natural intellectual endowments, with a
thorough understanding of the law, patience, urbanity and industry, he took to
the bench the very highest qualifications for this responsible office of the
state government, and his record as a judge was in harmony with his record as a
man and a lawyer - distinguished by unswerving integrity and a masterful grasp
of every problem which presented itself for solution. He had a thorough
and comprehensive knowledge of the published decisions of courts, but he was not
a case lawyer. His own decisions were founded upon principles of law and
attracted the attention of the profession throughout the state. Possessed
of a keen, incisive intellect, the controlling points of a case were quickly
perceived by him and his strong, thoroughly trained and logical mind enabled him
to present his conclusions tersely and concisely and in a manner to carry
conviction. In the exercise of these high judicial qualifications Judge
MILLER was entirely impartial and independent, and yet always courteous and
considerate.
On the 4th of October, 18609, was celebrated the marriage of John C. MILLER
and Miss Marianna T. HOGLEN, a daughter of James R. HOGLEN, of
Dayton, now deceased. They became the parents of two children:
Robert J., who married Miss Freda BRETNEY, of Lebanon, Kentucky, and has
a son, Robert Wickliffe; and Eleanor C., the wife of Louis E. NILES of
New York city. The Judge's interest centered in his family and he
considered no personal sacrifice on his behalf too great if it would promote the
welfare and happiness of his wife and children.
He was a member of Clark Lodge, No. 101, F&A.M., and Palestine Commandery, No.
33, K.T. He also belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the
Junior Order of United American Mechanics, and Mitchell Post, No. 45, G.A.R.
In the line of his profession he was connected with the Co and state bar
associations and hew as regarded as a valued representative of each social,
political or professional organization with which he was connected. While
he was inflexible in support of everything which he considered to be right and
of political principles which he endorsed, it can truly be said that Judge
MILLER was never an office seeker, but that political preferment came to him
in recognition of his marked ability and superior merit. A contemporary
biographer has said of him: "The irreproachability of his private life
contributed to fix and maintain his place in public esteem and his great
popularity was due to his recognized ability and magnetic personality. He
voted with the Republican party, and his religious faith was that of the
Methodist church, in which he long held membership. He was never narrow,
however, but found as the friend of all deserving people irrespective of creed
or belief. When death claimed him the different societies with which he
was connected attended his funeral in a body. Deep indeed was the regret
felt throughout the community. It is said of an eminent man of old, that
he has done things worthy to be written; that he has written things worthy to be
read; and by his life has contributed to the welfare of the republic and
the happiness of mankind. This eulogy can well be pronounced upon Judge
MILLER and the many who looked up to him and respected him realized as fully
as did his social friends that a true man had fallen.

taken from the book 20th Century History of Springfield and Clark County,
Ohio and Representative Citizens, pages 521-522, on file at the Springfield,
Ohio, Clark County Library as well as the online edition. In 1890, John C.
MILLER was elected to fill the vacancy made by the death of Judge Charles
R. WHITE. In January, 1891, he relieved Judge HAGAN, who had
been appointed to fill the vacancy until an election. Judge MILLER
came to the common Pleas bench with a long career in public life. His
father, Reuben MILLER, likewise had a long public career in our city and
county. He was apprenticed as a printer, and afterward took up the study
of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1855. In 1861 he was elected Mayor
of the City of Springfield, and in the fall of the same year was elected
prosecuting attorney of the county, and several times re-elected. In 1869,
he was chosen city solicitor, and held the office by repeated elections until
1876, when he resigned to accept the position of Probate Judge, to which office
he had been elected in the previous October. This position he held until
1891, when he resigned to accept the position of Common Pleas judge, to which he
had been elected the previous fall. He was twice re-elected to this
position. He died at his residence in this city. A daughter - Mrs.
Eleanor Caroline MILLER (R.B.) OGDEN. (-1915) and a son -

Abstract. Louis Edward NILES.
A tremendous sensation was caused in Springfield Saturday by the arrest of Dr.
LE NILES, GC CUTLER, his wife Effie CUTLER and Ellen
TALBOTT of a charge of child stealing or kidnapping. The last three
named made a full confession to taking the two little sons of Dr. NILES
from their boarding place pending the decision the habeas corpus case which
would decide their custody. Miss Ellen TALBOTT, who is an old maid
dressmaker about 45 years of age lives in Springfield where the children were
kept., she hired a buggy and took the children to Mr. & Mrs. CUTLER in
St. Paris, and they took care of them until the 9th April when they were taken
to Pittsburg and then to Michigan. Dr. NILES was arrested at his
office Saturday on a warrant and taken to jail. The children, Louis and
Paul, 4 years and 16 months, are the cause of the dispute. The details of
their marital troubles are sensational. Mrs. NILES is of a noble
Spanish family who eloped from a convent with Dr. NILES and left him and
went to New York City charging brutal treatment; she returned and brought action
to gain possession of her children; the case was to be decided the day they were
stolen. He charged her with extravagance and drunkenness. The courts
have been very severe on child stealing. 31 Mar 1892. Urbana
Newspaper Abstract. Divorce granted to Dr. Louis E. NILES from wife
Paula B. NILES - gross neglect. The two children, Louis 5 years and
Paul 2 years, in custody and retained by the court; children to remain in the
care of Dr. & Mrs. Alex McGREGOR of Springfield as a result of being
hidden earlier by the father. Mrs. NILES is the daughter of Spanish

Synopsis:
-
From The Biographical Record of Clark
Co, OH, pp. 495ff: Upon the pages of history Rear Admiral Joseph N.
MILLER has engraven his name. With a laudable ambition for
advancement, with devotion to his country's good, with marked merit and ability
arising from thoroughness, close application and enterprising industry, he
attained to high rank in the navy and when his years of service had reached the
number which merits retirement his name was placed upon the list of those from
whom no longer active aid is required. Admiral MILLER was born in
Springfield, Ohio, November 22, 1836, and is a son of Reuben MILLER (see
synopsis above), who was long a prominent office holder and influential citizen
of Clark Co, identified with the development of this portion o the state
from its pioneer times. In early life Admiral MILLER became imbued
with a desire to become a member of his country's navy and after passing the
required examination he was appointed an acting midshipman at the naval academy
at Annapolis on the 1st of October, 1851. In February 1852, he was
advanced one year and was graduated with third rank in his class in June, 1854.
In the meantime he had made two cruises in practice on the ship Preble, in
1852-53. From the 1st of September, 1954, until the 20th of September,
1856, he served on board the United States flag ship Independence, in the
Pacific squadron, and on the 22d of November, of the latter year, he passed his
final examination and was warranted as a past midshipman in the navy. From
the 20th of February, 1857 until October 26, 1858, he was assistant in the
department of ethics and English studies in the naval academy, and on the 22d of
in the navy [sic]. From the 2d of November, January, 1858, he was
warranted as master 1858, until September 24, 1860, Admiral MILLER served
on board the United States ship Preble on the Paraguay expedition and in the
Home Squadron, and assisted in the capture of the steamers General Miramon and
Marquis de la Habana, off Vera Cruz, Mexico, on March 6, 1860. [the above
sentences, beginning with "From the 20th of February...." are copied verbatim
from The Biographical Record. The compiler realizes it makes no
sense, but was unable to make sense of it. Given that I live within 20
miles of Annapolis, I might make it there to check the facts of the history and
fix the inconsistencies.] He was commissioned as a lieutenant of the navy
February 19, 1860, and was assistant in the department of ethics and English
studies at the naval academy from October of that year until the breaking out of
the Rebellion in April 1861. At that time he was detached and ordered to
the brig Perry, which was being fitted out in New York, and which was employed
on the blockade and captured the privateer Savannah, off the coast of Charleston
on the 3d of June, 1861, this being the first privateer captured during the war.
In November, 1861, Admiral MILLER was transferred to the United States
steamer Cambridge, as executive officer, and was in the action when the
Cumberland and Congress were destroyed by the Merrimac, on the 12th of March,
1862. In May of that year he was transferred to the practice ship John
Adams, and in August was detached on application for active service. He
was commissioned as a lieutenant commander of the navy July 16, 1862, and from
September following until June, 1863, he served on board the ironclad Passaic as
executive officer, and was present at the naval attack on Fort McAllister, March
3, 1863, and the attack on Fort Sumter, April 7, 1863. In June of the same
year, he was appointed to duty with Admiral Gregory in New York, superintending
the construction of ironclads, and in September, 1863, he was ordered as
executive officer of the United State steamer Sacramento, from which, in
November, he was transferred to the ironclad Sangamon, on the blockade off
Charleston. In April, 1864, he became commander of the ironclad Nahant,
and in May he was detached from that ship and granted a sick leave. When
he had recovered his health, in the following August, he was ordered to the
ironclad steamer Monadnock, and was present in both attacks on Fort Fisher, the
first on 24th and 25th of December, 1864, and the second on the 13th, 14th and
15th of January, 1865. In February, of the latter year, he was detached
from the Monadnock and ordered to the naval academy as head of the department of
seamanship and commanded the practice ship Marion during the summer cruise of
1865. From that ship he was detached on the 30th of September, 1865, and
assigned to duty at the naval academy as head of the department of ethics and
English studies, and in September, 1867, he was ordered to the United States
steamer Powhattan, belonging to the South Pacific Squadron. There he
served in the Pacific waters and in the Gulf of Mexico until January 5, 1870,
when he was detached and placed on leave of absence. He was commissioned
as a commander in the navy of the United States January 25, 1870, and in
February of that year was ordered to duty at the New York navy yard,
whence in April he was ordered to the South Pacific Squadron a chief of staff.
In February, 1871, he was assigned to the command of the United States steamer
Ossipee, in addition to his duties as chief of staff. In December, 1872,
he was detached from that vessel and placed on waiting orders. In January,
1873, the order came which made him executive officer of the naval station at
New London. In February he was transferred to the hydrographic office at
Washington as assistant hydrographer. In November he was ordered to
command the ironclad Ajax, which joined the fleet at Key West, assembled in
anticipation of trouble with Spain. In June 1874, he was detached from the
Ajax and again assigned as assistant hydrographer, and in August, 1875, he was
ordered to the command of the United States steamer Tuscarora which ran a line
of deep sea soundings from the Sandwich to the Fiji islands and Australia.
In September, 1876, he was detached from the Tuscarora and placed on leave.
After enjoying a brief rest, in the month of December of the same year he was
ordered as assistant to the chief of bureau of yards and docks, and in March
following he was detached from that service and ordered as inspector of the
Eleventh lighthouse district, which embraced Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior.
On the 1st of October, 1880, he was detached from light house duty and ordered
on special duty in the navy department at Washington, D.C. Commander
MILLER was promoted to the captaincy in 1881, and since then has been in
command of the recruiting ship Wabash; command of the flagship Tennessee; member
of the Jeanette court of inquiry; captain of the navy yard at New York;
commander of the United States ship Chicago, flagship of the squadron of
evolution; in command of the training ship Vermont; and was commandant of the
Boston navy yard from August, 1894, until 1897. Being at the head of the
list of his grade, he was promoted to the rear admiralty on the retirement of
Rear Admiral WALKER in March, 1897. With General MILES he
represented the United States at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee(1897). Later
he was in command of the Pacific Squadron at Honolulu and raised the United
States flag on the annexation of the Hawaiian islands.
Admiral MILLER has been twice married, his first wife being a daughter of
Captain Joseph COMSTOCK, captain of one of the vessels of the Cunard
line. She died about a year after their marriage, and several years later
he married Miss Helen WILLS, a prominent Baltimore lady. They had one
child, a beautiful daughter, whose death occurred in England during the jubilee
festivities (1897). She was buried in the Woolsey necropolis near London.
The Admiral was retired in October, 1898, and now makes his home in New York
city. The student who reads between the lines will recognize qualities in
him without which there is no advancement in naval service. From the time
when, as an active midshipman, he went to Annapolis, he was found faithful to
duty, discharging every task assigned to him with dispatch and accuracy.
He mastered the science of naval warfare in all its departments and in its
practice he was found equally proficient. Thus he gained advancement from
one position to another and important trusts were reposed in him, with the
result that the country has been benefited by his efforts in her behalf.
He saw active warfare during the civil strife, and through many years has
occupied prominent positions in guarding the interests of the nation and
instruction those who have arisen to take the place of others who have at one
time been members of the navy. Such a career is worthy of the gratitude
and recognition of the nation and Admiral MILLER is honored by those who
are at all familiar with his career.

Logansport Pharos-Tribune, Logansport, IN. REAR ADMIRAL MILLER.
The Gallant Officer Who Raised the Stars and Stripes Over the Hawaiian Islands.
When Rear Admiral KIRKLAND was retired by age limit on July 4 Rear
Admiral Joseph Nelson MILLER became the senior officer of the United
States navy. This position he will holed till his own retirement, on
November 22 next, when Rear Admiral BUNCE succeeds to the dignity.
He will hold it under the retirement schedules, but one short month when he will
yield it to Rear Admiral DEWEY, the hero of Manila. So that the
navy, in the short space of six months, will have four senior officers, a most
unusual circumstance in naval annals. Rear Admiral MILLER, has been
stationed in San Francisco, in the cruiser Philadelphia, in command of the
Pacific squadron, and at Honolulu to raise the stars and stripes over the
newly-acquired territory. The rear admiral is fitted well for this honor,
not only by his rank and splendid record, but because he is highly esteemed by
all classes in Hawaii. From August, 1897, to May of 1898 he was stationed
at Honolulu to guard American interests. His course there was such as to
win the highest praise form all parties in that then troubled little republic.
The newspaper that strongly opposed the Dole government and annexation said the
"during Admiral MILLER's official sojourn in Honolulu and in the
discharge of an onerous and delicate duty, he has endeared himself to the hearts
of all classes of the community. His tactful discretion has proved him to
be a careful and conscientious diplomatist, as well as a manly officer, anxious
for the good name and cleanly discipline of the navy. Courteous, discreet
and dignified, his name will be remembered in friendly appreciation in Hawaii."

Harrisburg Telegraph, Harrisburg, PA. OUR ISLAND ANNEX. SOME
GRAND NEW FACTS ABOUT THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. Fine Opportunities For
Business Men With Capital. New Place For Tourists With Time and Money, but
a Poor Place For a Man Without a Job. The stars and stripes once more
float over the government house at Honolulu, and the Hawaiian Islands are at
last a part of Uncle Sam's territory. Well, what of it? More than
most of us realize as yet. It depends on your business and commercial
interests whether the annexation of these Pacific Islands will affect you
personally. If you are a politician, you realize that, for a long time at
least, there will be three very fat offices to be filled. The
commissioners to Hawaii have already been named but they cannot hold office
forever, and your turn may come some day. When it does, you will be glad
tat such islands exist, for Honolulu is a very nice place to live in, especially
when you get a big salary for living there. If you are are interested in
the refining of sugar, which you probably are not, the annexation of Hawaii
means a lot to you. If you are one of those fortunate people with time,
money and a desire to travel, here is a new field. A limited number of
tourists annually take a glimpse at Honolulu, generally on their way to the
orient. But there is much to be seen in the Hawaiian Islands besides the
original city, and when enterprising Americans get to running winter resorts and
steamer lines travel there will be very comfortable indeed. You can go by
steamer from San Francisco to Honolulu in from six to seven days and your ticket
will cost you $75 for first class or $25 for steerage, or you can take cabin
passage on a fine mailing vessel and have a two weeks' trip for $40. There
are about 79 miles of railroad lines on the island of Hawaii, but they are
little used for passenger service. If you area business man with
some capital, you will be interested to hear that Hawaii offers fine openings.
At present there are few manufactories there, the principal industry being the
management of plantations. Factories of the right kind would probably
prove better than gold mines. According to a recently published report by
Consul General HAYWOOD, Hawaii at present imports almost everything she
uses, aside, of course, from sugar, coffee and fruits, attention having been
almost exclusively given to the raising of sugar, all of which, aside from that
occupied in the islands, is exported to the United States. If you have
only your two hands and no capital, stay away from Hawaii until you are offered
a position there. The market for all kinds of labor is overstocked, and it
would be very unwise for any one to visit the islands with no capital on the
mere chance of obtaining employment. Wages on the plantations including
house and firewood or room and board range from $125 to $175 per month for
engineers and sugar boilers, $50 to $100 per month for blacksmiths and
carpenters, $10 to $75 per month for locomotive drivers, $100 to $175 per month
for bookkeepers, $20 to $30 per month for teamsters. In Honolulu the rates
are $5 to $6 per day for bricklayers and masons, $2.50 to $5 per day for
carpenters and painters and $3 to $5 per day for merchants. Cooks receive
from $3 to $8 per week; nurses, house servants and gardeners, $8 to $12 per
month. Those are very good prices for labor but you must remember that all
manufactured goods are very expensive and that the cost of living as an American
would want to live is very high. Rear Admiral Joseph Nelson MILLER
who was sent by President McKINLEY to formally take possession of the
Islands, is in command of the Pacific squadron and has recently been station in
the carrier Philadelphia at San Francisco. The rear admiral is fitted well
for this honor not only by his rank and splendid record but because he is highly
esteemed by all classes in Hawaii. From August 1897 to May of 1898, he was
stationed at Honolulu to guard American interests. His course there was
such as to win the highest praise from all parties in that then troubled little
republic. C.T. BATES

The Times, Philadelphia, PA. SIXTEEN KILLED AND MANY HURT IN HOTEL
FIRE. Thieves Supposed to Have Started Blaze for the Sake of Loot.
HUNDREDS TRAPPED ASLEEP. Fire First Discovered in Militia Armory, Which
Was Destroyed. FIREMEN DID HEROIC WORK. Dynamite, Exploding Powder
and Cartridges Endangered Workers and Spectators - Toms Angel One of the
Victims. Special to THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. NEW YORK. February
22 - Sixteen guests of the Park Avenue Hotel, at Park avenue and Thirty-fourth
streets, lost their lives this morning in a fire that investigation almost
surely proves to have been of incendiary origin. Before the fire was
discovered in the hotel the Seventy-first Regiment Armory, located diagonally
across the street, had been burning for more than an hour, the first alarm
having been turned in at 1:30. The origin of the armory fire is unknown.
It was first seen on the third floor by a woman, who ran to the home of
Battalion Chief ROSS, in Thirty-third street, and awakened him. The
chief turned in an alarm, but found that while he had been preparing to leave
his home other alarms had been sent and the firemen were already coming to the
scene. MILLER FOLLOWED BY FATE. Rear Admiral Joseph
Nelson MILLER, U.S.N., retired, who lived at the Park Avenue Hotel with
his wife, was reported for some hours to have been killed, but he escaped.
This morning's experience was the third New York hotel disaster in which Admiral
MILLER has been in within recent years. He was at the Windsor Hotel
when it burned to the ground, and was at the Murray Hill Hotel when the subway
explosion occurred. "I was awakened about 1.45 o'clock," the admiral said,
"which was about fifteen minutes after the flames started in the armory. I
have been a sufferer from neuralgia for years, and a good deal of an invalid,
and I soon saw from the way the armory was blazing that the hotel was no place
for Mrs. MILLER and me. So I aroused my wife; we dressed hurriedly
and went down to the lobby, prepared for instant flight. We are now very
glad we took this precaution, I assure you. Fleeing from hotels, however,
is getting to be an old story with us. Now I want to speak a good word for
Proprietor REID. I hear it has been charged that he was delinquent
in arousing his patrons and taking precautions against the spread of the fire.
That is all nonsense. I saw Mr. REID myself organize his employes
[sic] and saw him go through the hotel to sound a warning. He
did everything that possibly could be done." It was Admiral MILLER
who, as commandant of the Pacific squadron, first raised the United States flag
over the Hawaiian Islands. During the civil war he was in the fleet attach
on Fort Sumter and later commanded a monitor in the assault on Fort Fisher.
Since the war he has been commandant of the Navy Yards at Boston and Brooklyn.

New-York Tribune, New York City, New York. ADMIRAL MILLER'S
EXPERIENCE. Rear Admiral Joseph Nelson MILLER, U.S.N., retired, who
was at the Park Avenue Hotel with his wife at the time of the fire, was
congratulated yesterday upon his escape. It was the third hotel disaster
from which he has escaped in safety. He was a guest at the Windsor Hotel
when it was burned, and he was at the Murray Hill Hotel at the time of the
dynamite explosion last month. Rear Admiral MILLER had gone up one
flight from his room to watch the progress of the fire at the armory.
While there, the fire broke out in the hotel, and Mrs. MILLER went to
look for her husband. The admiral in the mean time descended to rescue
Mrs. MILLER from the danger, and they missed each other in the search.
She was overcome by the smoke and carried to the ground floor by a fireman,
where she was revived., and where her husband found her a short time afterward.

m. 16 Jan 1874 (? - age 11?), Miller Co, MO
George W. SHELTON -
this marriage shows him married to Ella V. BANES which is belied by
her age (she would have been 11) and census records which show her living with
the WELCHes and single all her life. I'm hanging onto the marriage
till I can figure out where it fits. Vinnie married a SHELTON, but
not when she was 1!!!

Obituary. Urbana, 7 Feb 1889.
Justus S. WILSON. Few families are
better known than the WILSON connection in Clark and Champaign.
Justice S. WILSON who died on the 15th inst, was born near Mutual, O,
April 12, 1829. His father was a Virginian and came to Ohio and settled on
Buck Creek in 1799. He was on friendly relations with the Indians, the
great Chief Tecumseh having often visited his cabin and partaken of his frugal
fare. Justice S. WILSON lived all his life within a few miles of
his birthplace, and did much to develop and improve the country. In
1847048 he attended school at Springfield and under the ministrations of Rev RS
FOSTER (now Bishop) was converted at a great revival where there were
more than 300 converts and always thereafter lived a devoted Christian. He
married Miss Louise BANES, April 12, 1854, and they resided on the old
homestead until 1874 when they moved to Mechanicsburg, but in 1878 removed to
New Moorefield, Clark County, where he resided at death. His wife and five
children survive him and they and many friends mourn the loss of one who was
always kind, just and honorable.

John M. HUNTER from Centennial
Biographical History of Champaign Co, OH, pp. 221ff: The stanch
[sic] Irish type is one which found many representatives in the New World and is
one that has ever been found foremost in giving impetus to the march of
progress, in retaining a clear mental grasp and in directing affairs along safe
and conservative lines. America owes much to the Irish and has honored and
been honored by noble men and women of this stock. In the agnatic line the
subject of this sketch is of sturdy Irish extraction, being of the third
generation of the family in the United States and in Champaign Co, Ohio,
where his grandfather, Nathaniel HUNTER, took up his abode in 1811,
locating in the sylvan wilds, as one of the sterling pioneers of the Co and
setting himself vigorously to the task of literally hewing out a farm in the
virgin forest, the land which he thus reclaimed having been furrowed and refurrowed by the plowshare for many years and giving slight evidence of the
toil involved in the early days. Nathaniel HUNTER, the honored
progenitor of the family in America, was born in the Emerald Isle, of fine old
Celtic stock, and there he was reared and educated, his marriage being
solemnized prior to his emigration to America. He left his native land in
1795, and came to the hospitable shores of the new world, locating in Greenbrier
Co, Virginia, where the family maintained their home until 1811, when they
came to Ohio. Mr. HUNTER settled on a tract of wild land in the
northern part of what is now Salem township, Champaign Co, where he cleared
and improved a good farm and where he passed the residue of his honorable and
useful life, which was devoted to the great basic art of agriculture. In
the year 1820 he erected a stone house, an exceptional improvement in those
days, when the usual domicile of the locality was the primitive log cabin and
this building is still standing and is in an excellent state of preservation,
standing as a landmark of the early days and as a monument to the energy and
progressive spirit of this noble pioneer. In politics, Grandfather
HUNTER gave his allegiance to the Whig party, and his religious faith was
that of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he was a most devoted member,
doing much to promote the cause of the Master in the community, while his house
was a sort of religious center and a place where genuine and cordial welcome was
ever accorded to the faithful circuit-riders of the church during the pioneer
epoch. Samuel HUNTER, son of the honored pioneer and father of the
subject of this review, was born in Greenbrier Co, Virginia, and was a lad
of about six years at the time of the family removal to Champaign Co, where
he was reared to maturity and where he devoted his life to agricultural
pursuits, becoming one of the prominent farmers and representative citizens of
the Co. He died at the old homestead, in Salem township, in the year
1870, at the age of sixty-five years. He married Maria MILLER, who
was born in Clark Co, Ohio, whither her parents came as pioneers from
Kentucky. She passed away in 1885, at the age of seventy-four years, and
like her husband was ever sustained and comforted by a deep Christian faith,
being a zealous member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Samuel and Maria
(MILLER) HUNTER became the parents of ten children, - five sons
and five daughters, - of whom one son and one daughter are deceased. John
M. HUNTER, the immediate subject of this review and one of the
representative citizens and business men of the city of Urbana, was born on the
old homestead, in the northern part of Salem township, on the 22d of March,
1838, and he has passed his entire life in his native Co, honoring the name
he bears by his upright and useful career. Growing up under the
invigorating discipline of the farm, he has ever retained the highest respect
for the dignity of the noble vocation which figures as the bulwark of our
national prosperity, and he continued to be identified with agricultural
pursuits until he had attained the age of forty years, his educational
privileges in his youth being such as were afforded in the public schools of the
locality and period. Upon leaving the farm Mr. HUNTER located in
the village of West Liberty, where for fourteen years he was successfully
engaged in the agricultural implement business. At the expiration of the
period noted he disposed of this business and came to Urbana, where he has since
devoted his attention to the real-estate and insurance business, in which, by
his honorable business methods and progressive and discriminating management, he
has attained marked prestige and developed an enterprise of no inconsiderable
scope and importance, his agency taking front rank and retaining a
representative support. In politics Mr. HUNTER exercises his
franchise in support of the principles and policies of the Republican party, but
has never sought the honors or emoluments of public office. Fraternally he
is identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and his religious faith
is that in which he was reared, both he and his wife being active workers in the
First Methodist Episcopal church, while our subject has been for thirty-five
years prominent in the work of the Sunday-school, where is laid the foundation
of true Christian faith and worthy manhood and womanhood. On the 19th of
November, 1862, Mr. HUNTER was united in marriage to Miss Sallie
BALDWIN, who was born in this Co, the daughter of Richard BALDWIN,
one of the pioneer farmers of this section. Of this union have been born
three children, namely; F. Edgar, who is now a resident of Chicago; Nellie M.,
the wife of Dr. Ben S. LEONARD, of West Liberty, this Co; and Ralph
Waldo E., who is associated with his father in business. Mrs. HUNTER
died April 9, 1902.

Obituary. The Shreveport Times.
29 May 1915. MRS.
W. RENDALL DIES SUDDENLY. FOUND DEAD BY HER HUSBAND HEART
FAILURE OR CONGESTION PROBABLY CAUSE. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R.
RENDALL, 641 Stoner avenue were greatly shocked last night when the news
was spread about the city that Mrs. RENDALL had been found lying across
the bed in her room dead. Just when she died and what caused her death is
not known. Mr. RENDALL, who is a traveling salesman for the Hicks
company, went to his home about 6:45 yesterday evening and on entering his
wife's bedroom found her lying across the bed. Calling to her several
times and receiving no answer, he went to the bed, and placing his hands upon
her he discovered that she was rigid in death. Hurrying down stairs, Mr.
RENDALL called to his friend, John McW. FORD, who lives across the
street, and with Mr. FORD returned to his home and to his wife's room,
telling him that he had found his wife dead when he entered the room. Dr.
McCRACKEN, who lives next door to the RENDALL home, was called,
and with his wife hurried to Mrs. RENDALL's room, Mrs. M.A. VANCE,
Mrs. FORD and other neighbors and Dr. T.F. LLOYDarriving a few
minutes later. An examination by Drs. LLOYD and [McCRACKEN]
determined that Mrs. [RENDALL] had been dead several hours, the cause of
her death being either heart failure or congestion. According to friends
of the family, she was to have attended a class meeting at the home of Mrs.
Cooper NELSON at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and it is said that there
were evidences that she had prepared to dress to go out, presumably to meet this
engagement. Mrs. RENDALL was about 32 years old, a woman of marked
beauty and genial disposition and had a large circle of friends. She was
born in Hunter, and was married to Mr. RENDALL at Battle Creek, Mich., in
1903. Besides her husband, who is crushed by her sudden and unexpected
death, she is survived by her grandmother and two aunts, one of whom resides at
Waukegan, Ill., and the other at Milwaukee. It is said that Mrs.
RENDALL was contemplating an early visit to her grandmother and aunt at
Waukegan and was busy with preparations for the visit. No funeral
arrangements will be made until her aunts are heard from, which will probably
be some time today, messages having been sent them last night apprising them of
the death of her niece. The news of her unexpected death was a great shock
to the friends of the family, and Mr. RENDALL has the deepest
sympathy of his friends in the loss he has sustained.

Obituary. c1931. Find-a-Grave.
Jennie F. HUNTER. DEATH COMES AS
SHOCK TO CITY SUNDAY. MRS. JENNIE COREY, 66, WIDOW OF DR. C.W.
COREY DIES. IS WIDELY KNOWN. WAS FIRST PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN
LEGION AUXILIARY HERE. This community was shocked Sunday by the
sudden death of Mrs. Jennie W. COREY, 67, widow of the late Dr. C.W.
COREY, of this city. Mrs. COREY's death was extremely sudden, a
heart attack overcoming her while she was walking from the street to her home.
About 10 o'clock she had driven her automobile from the garage at her home at
631 East Main street, and parked it in front of her home, preparatory to leaving
for the home of Mrs. E.E. COX where services of the Episcopal church were
being held. As she approached the house she was stricken and called to
Mrs. J.R. JOHNSTON, Jr., a neighbor. Mrs. COREY reached the
porch of her home and neighbors summoned a physician who arrived in a short
time. Mrs. Joyce PIERCE, Mrs. Addie HAROLD, Frank DEWALD
and other neighbors and Mr. and Mrs. Loring SINCLAIR, friends of Mrs.
COREY, were summoned. She expired in a short while, losing
consciousness after a few minutes. The funeral will be held from the East
Main street home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in
the I.O.O.F. cemetery. For about a year Mrs. COREY had not been in
the best of health, although her condition was not considered serious.
About a year ago she suffered an attack in Muncie, but seemingly had recovered.
She had moved from East Washington street about two weeks ago, to her present
home at 631 East Main. She had lived alone since the death of Dr. COREY.
Mrs. COREY's only surviving relatives are a daughter, Mrs. J.J.
HOLBROOK, of Florence, Ala.; one granddaughter, Jane HOLBROOK, and a
brother, W.R. HUNTER, of Marion. Mrs. May HUNTER, of Marion,
is a sister-in-law, Mrs. W.D. CAMPBELL of this city was a cousin to Dr.
COREY. Mrs. COREY was born December 1, 1864, the daughter of
Robert and Mary HUNTER. Her birthplace was Champaign county, Ohio
and she spent her early girlhood there. In 1874 she moved with her family
to Indiana. In 1888 she was married at Marion, Ind., to Dr. Charles W.
COREY. In taht same year, Dr. and Mrs. COREY moved to VanBuren
where Dr. COREY took up the practice of his father. They lived
there until 1891, when they came to Hartford City where Dr. COREY
practiced medicine until his death on May 30, 1929. He was a member of the
medical corps in the army during the World war and was first commander of the
American Legion here. Mrs. COREY was a member of the Nancy Knight
chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a member of
the Episcopal church. She was the first president of the American Legion
Auxiliary there, having organized the chapter here. Mrs. COREY,
like her husband, was particularly interested in the welfare and the problems of
the ex-service men and their families. Both worked tirelessly for the
veterans and their dependents. Both were widely known and loved by a host
of friends. Mr. and Mrs. HOLBROOK and daughter arrived here Monday
afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. HOLBROOK visited this city recently with
Mrs. COREY. They left here about three weeks ago for their home in
Florence, Ala.

Synopsis:
-
Milton M. MILLER (deceased), farmer and
local minister; P.O. New Moorefield; born in Kentucky, December 23, 1811; was a
son of Robert and Elizabeth (HANSON) MILLER, he a native of VA and
she of Maryland. They became residents of Clark Co in the spring of
1812, locating upon the farm now owned by Abraham Mumper, and here they resided
till their death. He died October 18, 1834; his wife died in August,
1857. They were the parents of six children, and he had three by first
marriage. Two only now survive - Mary (now Widow BANES), and Maria
(now widow of Samuel HUNTER). They were strictly pioneers in
this neighborhood, taking their farm right from the woods in its wild state, and
enduring all the labors and hardships incident to such life, bringing the
forests into fine cultivated fields, with waving grain, and replacing their
primitive log cabin with a comfortable frame house, and before their death were
able to enjoy the general comforts and conveniences of life, and all
accomplished by his own labor and industry. He owned two quarter sections
of land, and in connection with his many labors and progress in accumulating
property and obtaining the comforts and conveniences of a good farm and home, he
was an active Christian worker in the M.E. Church, being a local preacher for
many years, and in his death the community lost a kind neighbor and the church a
great worker. Our subject being but an infant when his parents moved to
this Co, was nurtured, raised and great ot maturity inured to the hardships
of the early settlers of that day, and lived with his parents till their death.
He was married, November 29, 1832, to Mary T., daughter of Samuel T. and Rebecca
(DUNLAP) HEDGES, he a native of Virginia and she of Kentucky;
became settlers of Champaign Co., about 1812. They were parents of eleven
children; those now living - Mary T., James, Jane, Elizabeth, Tabatha, Sarah and
Samuel. Mary T. was born September was born Sept. 22, 1814. Mr.
MILLER and wife had ten children, six now living - Mary E. , Rebecca, Clara
L., Robert N., Hattie M. and Milton M. Mr. MILLER followed the
footsteps of his father in being an industrious, energetic farmer; also an
active Christian and a local preacher in the same church, and thus continued to
the end of his life, which was terminated very suddenly. On May 5, 1872,
having returned from church feeling wearied, he laid down to rest, and when
called by his daughter to dinner, was found dead. This, though a severe
stroke and loss to his family, was doubtless his eternal gain.
