| The old homestead, built
by my Great-grandfather and his son in the late nineteenth century in Kansas,
provided his family with roots, an anchor to his heritage, a source
for future generations, a place to return and a link to an ever-growing
community.
That building now lays desolate, crumbling, dying. But the home is still alive, vibrant in our minds, in our souls. A living legacy of family ties, pride in ancestors who paved the way, a shared memory that binds us for eternity. We now know from the 1870 census record that Andrew Jackson Miller claims Ohio as his birthplace. And there is an Andrew J. Miller in the 1850 census for Tuscarawas County, OH who is 20 years old; could this be the same man? We also have a marriage record in Clayton County, Iowa of Andrew to Frances Cordelia White in 1861. In 1875 Andrew Jackson Miller loaded his family and his earthly posessions in a covered wagon and immigrated to Kansas, where he homesteaded land in Osage County, near Lyndon. Andrew died in 1912 and is burried in Scranton, Osage County, Kansas. You may view the complete summary of the family history online. |
