I have some Shaeffer/Shaver family in my tree from Stone Arabia, New York in late 18th century. Any connections to your family?
Hi Earline,
Not that I'm aware of, all of these seem to be in southern Indiana area.
Hi, It appears that I am your daughter's cousin thru her gr grandfather Arthur Miller. His sister Eva Miller Dever is my paternal grandmother. I noticed on the blog that Jacob Miller and Elizabeth Speck have been listed as William Miller's parents. I have not been able to find that information anywhere but here and was wondering if you knew that to be a fact?
I have pictures of Mathias and Lillie and a picture of Arthur and siblings from Christmas about 1916. Would love to find more pictures from this family line and would gladly share the ones I have. I have posted these pictures on my public tree at ancestry.com, the tree name is Dever - Evinger.
Thank you for the information you have shared.
I found the name of his parents on his second marriage application. That was the only source. Will connect with your tree.
