Miller/Rohn of Franklin Co., OH
I am searching for Elizabeth Maria Miller (born before 1853). She married Charles Rohn (July 5, 1871 in Franklin Co., OH. by John Cox, JP) which states she is at least 18 years of age. Then she had 2 children; Charles Rohn, Jr. (born Apr. 5, 1872) & Mary Jane Rohn (born Aug. 8, 1875). She died before the 1880 Census:

The Rohn family were members of the Obetz Lutheran Church and the deaths of Nancy (Reed) Rohn (died 12/28/1902) & Charles Rohn, Jr. (died 2/8/1906) are listed there. This family have mostly been buried at the Obetz Cemetery according to the obituaries of Charles Rohn (died 10/24/1943) and the death certificate of Mary Jane (Rohn) Shimp (died 8/20/1911).
Can anyone help me find when Elizabeth Maria Miller Rohn was born, died and who her parents were? I am also looking for a connection between Elizabeth and Mrs. Abigail Jane Brown. I am hoping to understand why Charles Rohn let the Brown's raise his children while he obviously had plenty of family living with him.
Thank you anyone who can help me. Dorene
