Can anyone help me to determine who the parents of my great great grandfather, George Wesley Miller were? My problem is that there were 2 other George W. Millers in the same township, one of them being about the same age as my George. As far as I know, George was born in either November or December 1850, and died in 1940. He was married in Allen County August 18, 1886 to Jane Alice (Main) Johnson. (1863-1942) (She was married to a UNKNOWN Johnson approx 1879-1885??).

Would like to know her 1st husbands (Johnson) name, was told he was older, and a Sea Captain, and then he died after they had 2 children together. (Andy and Dell Johnson)

George and Jane are both buried at Bethel Cemetery in Paulding County, Ohio, though they were both born in Indiana from what I know. George's parents may have been from Ohio or Pennsylvania or ???

Would like any info on their children also (my great aunts and uncles):
Lucy Miller ________?

Harry Nelson Miller 1888-1928 (married 2x) E. Ewing and Nancy/Anna Griswold

Floyd Miller 1889-??? m to ?Nora Donat?

Gerald A. Miller m Bertha_____?

Lula Miller b. 1900 m Charles Donat

Edna Esther Miller--my gr grandmother 1903-1985: married 2x
1st to my Gr Grandfather: Glenn R Morris 1898-1945
then m to Forest Wolford

Would like to know also if there is a connection between Edna and her mother-in-law Emma Catherine Miller-Morris (b 1874 IN), besides the mother/daughter in law thing. Were they distantly related, both being Millers?

Emma's parents were Samuel H. Miller (1842-1918 OH) and Sarah June Wiles (1845-1917 IN). She was married to Uri/ Uriah/ Urah R. Morris (1867-???OH-my brick wall) and died in 1922 in Defiance Co Ohio..

Locations for above families include, but are not limited to:

Allen County, Indiana (marriages/births)

DeKalb County, Indiana (residences, births, Millers)

Wabash County, Indiana (Emma & Sarah both born there)

Paulding County, Ohio (burial, births Millers, Morris', Johnsons)

Williams County, Ohio (residence, Emma & Ura)

Defiance County, Ohio (residence, births, etc)

Unknown Counties in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, possibly there is a connection with Chicago or Wisconsin???? Pennsylvania? TIMBUKTU?? LOL Looks like they were a traveling bunch!

ANY INFO greatly appreciated, correspond with other descendants also. Happy to exchange info
