Don’t know how I missed the post a couple of posts above this, but no, you didn’t make me mad.
Yes. Elizabeth Miller was born in Georgia according to that 1880 census.

Bill and Kerry,
Yo!;) Hows it goin’? I spent the day getting turned around! I first went to GA. to find Elizabeth Miller. Somehow while on a GA. site somewhere I got routed to NC. Where they had Millers, Evans info.????? then I found a book called Evans Family Records. They came over from Wales mostly. Then there was a section on American Born Evans’ and in there was Evans’ in the American Revolution. Not knowing my history at all, I have no idea when that was.:o I was going to look it up and got sidetracked more and still haven’t done that. But this book sounds like it’s a lot like that Staton book I’m waiting for. So I looked at about thirty pages of names. And finally they have just a list of states where Evans’ were from that was in the Am Rev., Out of Pennsylvania was an Ezra Evans. That is the only one I found.
Then:)
On a Clay Co., census of 1850 I found just one Elizabeth Miller, alone age 37 🙁 She was born in Kentucky. Then I found a bunch of stuff that doesn’t really fit anywhere. Just names in close proximity to our folks. In the 1840 Census there was a Henry Miller who had 1 daughter age 20 to 30, ours was b. about 1823, so?? Oh, and that was Franklin Township.
Then in the same census I found a John Reede with 6 sons, 2 under the age of 5, 2 that were 10 to 15 yrs., 1 that was 16 to 20 yrs., and one that was 30 to 40 years, though I’m 😀 guessing that old man wasn’t his son.:D Then I found a John G. Miller with several boys and 3 girls, one girl under 6, one under 16 and a 50 ish female who, yeah I know wasn’t his daughter probably the “Ol’ lady!” And I found in the same census an Ambros Evans with 1 male aged 20 to 30.:) So anyway I feel fairly confident that I wasted the entire day.:) Then in 1860 census i found a bunch of Reeds and 3 Eliz. Millers in Fountain. Then I found Ezra & Elizabeths Marriage record–AGAIN! (At Ind. State Libr.) So then I sent an E-mail to Warrick Co., Asking them to please let me know how I get my hands on this stuff for Rachel and William. It’s time for a snack! Yogurt I think!:) Love & Light, Lynella.
hey! I just found a manilla envelope with a bunch of marriage certs and death certs and some census stuff.
O.K. we know Charlie Sutton’s dad was Henry Sutton who was from Ohio. He was married to Rachel C.A. Evans (Charley’s mom).
Rachel was born 1846 or 47.
Rachel was the Daughter of Ezra Evans and Elizabeth Miller. I have Ezra’s land grant from Indiana. And we were guessing that Elizabeth’s mom was from GA. right? Will this help any? I have a census page here, 1880, Crawford Co., Sterling Twp., Elizabeth, b. 1823 in Indiana.
Then I have 1880 Census, Crawford Co., Patoka Twp., Henry Sutton from Ohio, age 38 and Rachel C. his wife, age 34, says her place of birth was Tenn.
Will this get us any closer to Ezra’s folks or Elizabeth Miller’s folks?
ON THE SUTTON SIDE,
Henry’s Father was Phillip Sutton from Ohio and Louise or Louisa Hamored from Ohio, according to Henry’s Certified Record of Death.
1850 Ohio Census, Washington Co., Warren Twp., Phillip was born 1817 in Ohio and Louisa, 7 years older than Phillip was born in 1810, in Ohio.
See, I haven’t given up! I’m just hideously slow!:D
Will any of this help? I’ll start trying to dig deeper on this now that I found these documents, it has renewed my faith that some stuff really can be found! Lyn.
