Miller-13178 and Miller-226 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same dates. Death information (1781) on Miller-226 belongs to her sister, Katherine. See obit image on Miller-13167. Source for Mary's death (1799) is on Miller-13178.

If you agree these are duplicates, please complete the merge.

Thank you.

Miller-13178 and Miller-226 are not ready to be merged because: birth and death dates duplicate sister Katherine. No sources for son Reuben.

Miller-226 and Miller-13178 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same birthdate, same husband. Also, the Irish Quaker family list for James and Katherine Miller shows that they only had one daughter named Mary. Therefore, it is clearly the same person. The only dispute here is the date of death. If that cannot be settled, a note to that effect can be included in the Research Notes.

This marriage to Isaac JACKSON is quoted elsewhere as 11 Apr 1730. Her death is probably in NC.

Miller-13188

Miller-13180 Miller-13161 Miller-13166 Miller-13189 do not appear to be children of Lightfoot-297 as there is no source indicating she married or bore children prior to age 18 or in a location other than Northern Ireland. Note she immigrated to America in the year of her death, 1729. Miller-13178 is a possibility in case the source for the year of immigration is wrong.
