Miller Family Tree
The Miller Family of Washington Co., MD
My line: John > Sarah > George > Anna
This descendancy chart, a work in progress, was compiled from
both proven and unproven sources. It may contain errors. As with
any family tree,
you should regard it as a guideline for your own
genealogical research.
Hope you find your ancestors here!
John J. Miller and Maria Unknown are my 3rd-great grandparents and
my earliest known ancestors in this line. I am still searching for Maria's maiden name
and for John's parents.
Their daughter Sarah A. married Adam Jacobs, but I know nothing of
Sarah's life before then. Whether she had siblings or was an only child is also a mystery. The
Washington Co., MD Courthouse was flooded at one time, and thousands of records
were destroyed.
If you have any info on these Millers, please contact me.
