Carol, no one named Michael that I know of. I can say with near certainty
that there are none in my direct line, but I suppose there could be a Michael
among one of the sons of F. M. Miller's brothers (Samuel Thomas, Charles
Donnell, George Culver Harte, Finis Ansel, and Robert Don Leavey Miller. I have
only Samuel T.'s children listed so far in my tree (and no Michaels).

This Miller family is lousy with males; scarcely a daughter to be found in
more than150 years, so there could be a Michael in there somewhere.

Hi Tom

Am wondering if there is any Michael Miller in your Miller's that married
Mandany Chaney on March 19, 1863, in Andrews County, MO? Mandany was a sister
to my great grandmother Polly Ann Chaney SONGS, and it was a double wedding on
March 19th, 1863.

My paternal ancestors were pioneers in Andrew County (and in Missouri as
well).


As long as we are sharing obituaries, an obituary for my great, great
grandfather, Rev. Fleming Mitchell Miller, can be found at the following
website
maintained by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

"Mitch" Miller's father, William A. Miller, was an early settler in Andrew
County. Prior to that, he lived in Cooper and then Pettis County, having
arrived in Missouri from Kentucky with his parents, Samuel Miller and
Margaret
Sloan Miller, and six brothers in about 1820.

William, was also a member of the Missouri Legislature. Family lore has it
that he was preparing a run for Congress in 1847, when he died young at age
42.

Mitch's mother, Agness Chelly Mitchell, came to Missouri at a very early
date. Her father, Captain Thomas Mitchell, came to Missouri in 1814, when
it was
a territory, and for safety the family lived for three years in Coles' Fort

(which was in what is now Howard County, MO, near Columbia). Her four
brothers were said to have been the first white men to operate a ferry
across the
Osage river. Daniel Boone lived for some time in that fort.

Agness Miller, Rev. Fleming Mitchell Miller, his wife, Nancy Ellen McDonald
Miller, and a number of other Millers from this family are buried in the
Fairview Cumberland Presbyterian cemetery in Andrew County (near the
Buchanan
County border north of St. Joe). Their gravestones can be viewed on
MOANDREW's
fabulous and unequaled cemetery photo pages. I believe nearly all the
Millers
in this cemetery (perhaps all of them, in fact) are my ancestors.
