Notes for Anna Maria “Mary“ Miller
Mamie Frick Page wrote: "On June 2, 1983 her grave marker had been broken. Her date of birth appeared to be 1770 and indicated she died in her 60's."
------------------------------
Mary's son, Abraham, married his first cousin, Margaret Miller, on 28 Aug 1822. Margaret died 18 July 1823, the day her only child was born. That child was John Daniel Shaver, grandfather of Daniel C. Page. Abraham then married Christina Foutz on 24 Jan 1824. Their fourth child, Mary, was the mother of Nancy Ann Kirk Eagle.
------------------------------
Was Abraham the second child of John and Mary? He was John's second child because in his will [dated 16 Nov 1843] John bequeathed to his eldest son, Jacob, 200 acres of land. Abraham is listed second and received 225 acres. John and Mary were married 28 Nov 1788, a fact recorded by Pastor Storch of Organ Church. Mary was 18 years old at the time (born 19 Jan 1770). Abraham was born 15 Dec 1789. It would seem he was their first child. It is most unlikely that Mary had a child at age 17 and was married 20 months later to someone who then became known as the child's father. A more probable conjecture is that Jacob was John’s child of an earlier marriage. John was 15 years older than Mary.
