    An American Dream that Began in The Late 18th Century . . . George Marker and his wife, Margaret Storm, journeyed to Montgomery County, Ohio, by covered wagon, 20 years after Ohio became only the 17th state to be admitted into the Union. German-Americans who were committed to family, faith, industriousness, and education, the young couple went in search of greater economic opportunities in the exciting new land. Their values became their legacy to the generations that followed. The Marker Family . . follows those generations, starting with George and Margaret's son Martin Marker, who married Margaret Weaver. Martin became an auctioneer, real estate investor, and successful farmer. Their spirit for their country was strong; they named their first son after the then-President, Martin Van Buren. Martin Van Buren Marker married Martha Jane Hoover in Darke County, Ohio. They settled in Paton, Iowa, where he farmed and then worked as a stock buyer, and ran a creamery. Late in life they retired to Long Beach, California. Their daughter Harriet Viola Marker married Frank Oscar Ladd, and they spent most of their lives in Paton, Iowa, where Frank was a blacksmith. The legacy of the Marker family continues in their descendants today. Carolyn Ladd holds a Certified Genealogist credential from the Board for Certification of Genealogists®. George and Margaret (Storm) Marker are her four times great-grandparents.

  • - Millers, Claypools, Grants, and Swiggetts from Settlement to the Midwest
    av Abigail B Miller
    959,-

    The Genealogical Journey of Four FamiliesFrom Mayflower passengers to nineteenth-century Scottish immigrants, Roots in America: Millers, Claypools, Grants, and Swiggetts from Settlement to the Midwest tells the story of author Abigail Miller's paternal ancestors.She describes the journey of four families, largely of British origin, placing them in historical context. The characters are representative of a broad group of settlers and pioneers who were not famous or remarkable, except as we are all remarkable and unique, but who helped lay the foundations of America. The author includes a number of family stories and anecdotes.Miller was driven to preserve, and in a few cases extend, the family information handed down to her by her father and his parents before him. As a result, Roots in America includes formal genealogies of the families of Abijah Miller, of New York State, and his wives Sarah Titus and Lucinda Wicker; Abraham Claypool and his wife Elizabeth Wilson, of Virginia and Ross County, Ohio; Colquhoun and Innes Grant, sons of Peter Grant and Margaret Cunningham, of Stirling, Scotland, and the brothers' several wives; and Levin Swiggett, of Seaford, Delaware and Cambridge City, Indiana, and his wife Hester Ann Owen.The dilemma for all family historians is when to stop collecting information-or often in her case, additional evidence-and commit to writing. Having committed to a project of significant scale, Miller tries to clearly indicate where evidence falls short and provide a pathway for future genealogists.

Many of their descendants have found Greenwood Cemetery, Wheeling, West Virginia, their last resting place.In 1914, John George Miller, the patriarch of this strong German family, became the first member of our Miller family to be buried at Greenwood Cemetery. Other Ohio Valley area cemeteries chosen by our Miller families were Mount Calvary Cemetery, Red Men Cemetery, Holly Memorial Gardens, Riverview Cemetery, and Greenwood (Rose Hill) Cemetery.In an effort to preserve a piece of our Miller family history in one collection, this book presents obituaries and information about John George Miller and the first three generations of his descendants. Regardless of where they lived, most "came home" to be buried in Wheeling area cemeteries. A brief description of each cemetery is provided in this book.
