Notes
- A Miller Family genealogy gives us Elizabeth's first name.
Nancy Elizabeth MILLER b: 1850
-- Miller, http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=*v28t1777&id=I0778
But this genealogy also had two entries for what appears to be the same child. Entries appear for Elizabeth and Nancy Elizabeth with birth dates apparently estimated on the basis of censuses I have not yet personally reviewed. Ages lead to possible birth years of 1847, 1948 and 1850.
Elizabeth MILLER b: 1848
Nancy Elizabeth MILLER b: 1850
In the 1850 censsus, Nancy is already reproted as 2 years old. But ages in this census compared with later ones vary considerably on the members of this family, generally reporting them as older than later censuses and birth dates form family sources would allow.

John Miller 45 M Carpenter b Prussia (b abt 1805)
Nancy Miller 34 F b Alabama Cannot read or write
Mary Ann Miller 13 F b Mississippi
Nancy E Miller 2 F b Mississippi
The 1860 census below reports an age of 10, which, if accurate, would mean birth before July 1850. The name there is also Nancy Eliza. It may be that the genealogy erred in reporting her full name as Elizabeth. Perhaps Eliza is the full name, though it could be a nickname for Elizabeth. Eliza was also a common given name in this era.
