L C Draper Esq

Dear Sir

	After considering your questions I can only state from 
recollection about the death of Grand Ma Miller.

	I am satisfied it was in 1826.  That year Samuel Millers sons 
moved to Missouri, is why I feel certain she died that year.

	I cant say as to her age certain, I often visited her and she was 
very old & feeble.  I should think all of 85.

	I am really ___ped that Aunt Nancy Cameron, was the first born.  
I have always thought so, I do not know when she died.  She died 
without issue.

	I feel satisfied that Col. Boone and Grand Ma Miller were first 
cousins, never having heard him & Grand Father, were related, only by 
marriage.

	Please excuse delay in answering.  I am always at your pleasure 
in imparting any information I may have or can get, about my ancestors.

	Having left home when very young, I thought very little about P__ 
who had crossed the River.

Yours truly,

H. C. Miller, Sr.
