Research Notes

Online family trees (example Ancestry Profile) have her as the daughter of Henry Miller, sister of John Miller. She was previously linked as John's daughter, but given the FindAGrave site, ^[1] (no cemetery image, just a profile) the DOB would make her his sister.

Additionally the Probate record listed below, if accurate for this family, would also have her as the daughter of Margaret, Henry's wife.
