What a good idea! I have been looking for the parents of my gg-grandfather
Benjamin Franklin Miller (b. circa 1810) (married to Amelia Baker, daughter
of Peter and Polly Baker).

B. F. Miller and his wife Amelia had twin sons named Samuel FAHNESTOCK
Miller (1842-1932) and Lewis EVANS Miller (1842-1917).

I will look for information about the Fahnestocks and the Evans families in
Lancaster County. If anyone has information about either of these families,
please contact me.
