[or-roots] Nicholas Miller

[Leslie Chapman]

By the way Bea, i forgot to comment, but this list is usually fairly active,
though it has been a lot slower the last year than it was the first years I
was on here, I think a lot of us have plateaued in what we can find or are
just too busy, or at least are supposed to be like me.

we have gone for as much as a week or two without a post, you just happened
to join when folks were feeling frisky, though a roll call will almost
always stimulate some discussion, which is what they are designed to do. We
had a "lurker" on the Wheeler list who had been on for a couple of years and
finally got up nerve enough to post a query in the middle of a roll call and
found two cousins were regulars on the list. Near cousins that is, the
Wheeler list is probably mor than half cousins.

Anyway what i wanted to ask is if this is your Nicholas, he seems to be
connected to Aunt Hazel;


II: Nicholas Miller: Born 15 January 1816 in Wayne Co., Indiana. He was 31
years of age on the 1847 trip to Oregon. He died 16 Apr 1889 in Linn County,
Oregon. Buried Pine Grove Cemetary, Shedd, Linn Co., Oregon. Married as his
second wife Mary Jane Coon, sister of James Madison Coon 25 Oct. 1849 in
Rock Island County, Illinois. No dates or information as to when this couple
came west but assumed to be about 1850 to 1852 considering their marriage
and DLC dates and locations. They are listed by the Oregon BLM as the
holders of Donation Land Claim (Patent) # 654 in Twp 13S R4W Section 23,
Linn County, Oregon.

That is from the Chronology I posted earlier.
