If the person interested in MILLER wishes I have a note on
Vinson MILLER in the Henry Co, Hist. book, 1877.
He probably was the father of Alexander W. altho' the dates are
a little off--Alex got here before this father<G>.
It reads:
MILLER, Vinson, Farmer, Section 23, P.O. Cambridge, b. Long Island,
Suffolk Co. N.Y. 1807, came to Henry Co. 1837, Democrat, Independent,
