Additional Comments:
Margaret's husband bought land in Sandusky County very close to Michael 
Miller. Michael was probably a near relative of Margaret. Anyone who thinks 
they might be able to provide information as to the connection or is a 
relative of Michael Miller please feel free to contact me as we would like to 
follow her line back as far as possible also.
