| Old New Castle town, New Castle County, Delaware |
Taking another break from the Abraham Miller/Holland series of posts in order to explain why I am hitting my head on the wall right now!
I spent a little time on the Mocavo Genealogy Search Engine looking for our William Miller this evening, and just came across this listing of New Castle County Delaware Marriages. Remember that land records indicate William lived in New Castle County when he was younger, and that many of the Miller's had land in that county as well as nearby Cecil County, Maryland. It seems that they moved back and forth between these very close-lying areas regularly.
If you peruse down the list, you will see seven William Miller's!! Granted, we can toss out the two who married in the 1840's and for good measure the one who married in 1820. That leaves four William Miller's living in the same general area and time period as our William, and whose land, court, military, etc. records we may have been incorrectly attributing to our William!
Arghhh !
Here is the record. Would really appreciate any input! - Donna

Donna - the William Miller who married Elizabeth Chamberlain (At Old Swedes Church in Wilmington) on 21 Oct 1796 was a son of James Miller (1745-1809) and Jane Elliot(t) (d. 1813) of New Garden Township, Chester County, PA. James Miller in turn was son of James Miller (1693 (Ireland)-1774 (New Garden) and Ann Cain (also born Ireland, died New Garden 1785). The James born in 1693 was a son of John Miller (b. ca. 1660, Ireland) and Mary Ignew, both of whom settled in New Garden Township, Chester County, PA in 1709, and on whose land the original New Garden Friends Meetinghouse was built.
