A Brief Overview of the Miller Lineage

We know of four generations of Millers. Adam Miller married Sophia Hann in 1817. We know of eight children from this marriage of nearly 60 years. They had only two sons. George H. Miller was one.
George H. Miller married twice. His first wife, Susannah Urich, had three children: two sons and one daughter. Susannah died at the young age of 27. It was George’s marriage to Sarah Ann Beelman that produced Elmer E Miller.
Elmer married Susan Ann Ellinger. They had eight children. Their youngest child was a daughter named Zella.
All four generations lived in Upper Allen Township. Adam, George, and Elmer all remained throughout their lives in the Shephardstown vicinity. Adam and Sophia are buried in Cocklin’s Cemetary on Lisburn Road. This cemetary also contains George, both of George’s wives and Sarah Ann Beelman’s parents (George and Eve) and grandparents (Christrian and Christina). Elmer and Susan Ann are buried in Chestnut Hill Cemetary north of Shepardstown.
We will take a more detailed look at these individuals in future posts.
