What are my favorite Original Family Narratives? PEARCE-AUSTEN, LESLIE , “INDIAN JOHN” MILLER, and “TOMMY” LEE
My Miller family is from Delaware County. I can go as far as Madison Miller born 9/13/1845. I think his parents were Richard and Nancy Miller but have not found them yet. Do you know which branch?
