I am looking for descendants of Harvey B. Miller and Cecila Ann Fortenberry
Miller Johnson. Harvey B. Miller was born in 1838 in Alabama and married
Cecila Ann Fortenberry on Oct. 18, 1859 in Nacogdoches County, Texas. He
died before 1867 and I don't know if he died serving in the Civil War or not
but I suspect that he did. He and Cecila Ann had two children before he died
and she remarried Redden H. Johnson from Milam County, Texas. The two
children were Thomas Jefferson [called Jeff] Miller born in Sept. 1861 in
Texas and married two times that I know of. His first wife was Margaret and
she is buried at the Bryant Station Cemetery in Milam County. They evidently
had a son named Harvey Miller who was born in March of 1881 in Texas and a
daughter named Ida Miller born in Dec. of 1888 in Texas. Margaret Miller,
Jeff's first wife was born in 1866 and died on Jan. 13, 1893. His second
wife was Lula N. and she was born in April of 1876 in Texas and they had a
son with the initials of T.J. Miller born about 1903 so I am guessing that
he was named after his father. The second child of Cecila Ann Fortenberry
Miller Johnson and Harvey B. Miller was Sara C. [called Dona or Donie]
Miller and she was born in October of 1863 in Texas and died in 1945 and is
buried at the Rogers Cemetery in Bell County. She married Sam Houston
Blankenship and he was born in Feb.of 1858, the son of Francis Marion
Blankenship and Susan A. Bryant. He died in 1915 and is also buried at the
Rogers Cemetery in Bell County. They had nine children. They were: 1. Don R.
Blankenship born in Feb. of 1883 in Texas; 2. Lulu L. Blankenship born Oct.
1885 in Texas; 3. Dora Bell Blankenship born Nov. 1, 1887 in Texas and died
May 14, 1888 and is buried at the Bryant Station Cemetery in Milam County.
4. Marion A. Blankenship born in May of 1889 in Texas; 5. Todd M.
Blankenship born in Jan. of 1892 in Texas; 6. Gail C. Blankenship born in
July of 1893 in Texas; 7. Dallas Blankenship born Jan. 1896 in Texas and he
was a judge in Texas; 8. Ona Blankenship born May 1898 in Texas; 9. Ollie L.
Blankenship born Feb. 1900 in Texas.

Any help in finding any of these descendants would be much appreciated.
