Notes

  • A Miller Family genealogy gives us George's birth date:
    George H. MILLER b: 15 APR 1845 in MS
    --  http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=*v28t1777&id=I0778

    For some reason, George had the nickname Tom.

    George has aged only 7 years in this census.  The age discrepancies show up for all this family.  According to his age in this census, George would have turned 15 after this census.  However, the family genealogy cited above reports his birth date was 15 April 1845.  If that birth date is correct, then he was already 15 before the July census date.  This is still two years off from the 1850 age reported.

    George was incorrectly transcribed in the 1900 census, and I did not find it until after the 1910 census.  But information in the 1910 census provided clues, which turned up George and his first wife Sarah P in 1900.  The names of their children helped fill out the family picture.  Four sons are reported here.  By 1900 George and his first wife have been married 34 years.

    Family sources tell us Jean is a nickname for a son named Eugene.  In 1910, George had lost Sarah and has only his son Tom remaining in the household.  His son Jean is next door.

    There was a wife between the censuses known by family tradition, and the presence of an adopted daughter in the 1930 census.  In 1920, George is with his third wife Emma Kinard, widow of Edward Caliste Dumond.  The adopted daughter known as Anna Belle, is not with them, and I have not found her in 1920.  But in 1930 she is with her widowed step-mother Emma at age 16.  Thus she should have been about 6 years old in 1920

    George married Emma Kinard Dumond in October 1913.  So the second wife died before that time.  Anna Belle could have been born earlier in 1913, and perhaps her mother died in childbirth.

    George died in 1925 and family tradition says that Emma adopted George's stepdaughter at his death.  After George's death in 1925, Emma applied for a pension as Confederate veteran's widow.  This document reports his exact date of death.
