Hi, Tom,
My gr grandfather, Jasper Newton Miller, married Cynthia Johnson in 1869 in Decatur Township, Washington County, Ohio. Their children were Joseph Marion Miller (my grandfather born in 1870), Martha E. "Mattie," Cora and Annie. The family moved to Brown's Mountain, Webster County, WVa. where Jasper died in 1888 at the age of 44 (I'm doing this from memory but believe this is correct. Cynthia then married John Wesley Cutlip, a widower, and they had children: Wade, Bessie and Blanche and maybe another girl.
This sounds so close to names and dates in your query that you may be descended from my Millers.
I have extensive information on the family from my grandfather who wrote his memoirs and kept a diary throughout his life. He moved back to Ohio, married my grandmother, Nellie Bartlett, in Little Hocking, Washington county, and lived there and wintered in Fla. until he died in 1965. I got a good bit of info from Bessie Gadd who lived to be 99, and as a child I attended Miller-Cutlip reunions at Holly River State Park in WVa. I've been researching Millers and related families for many years, and am just compiling everything I know about the Millers in MSS form for my kids. I have published one book about the Bartletts (my grandmother Miller's family). By the way, the Millers are related to the Cody family through Jasper Newton's mother, Almira Walker Miller, and the family line is documented in books published by the International Cody Family Assoc. Let me know if you need more info.
