F3 Abraham Miller, born October 28, 1810 in Montgomery County, Ohio, died April 19, 1896 Polk Township, Marshall County, Indiana, married (1), November 3, 1833 Elkhart County, Indiana, F2 Mary Magdalena Miller, born ca. 1814 Montgomery County, Ohio, daughter of Isaac Miller and Elizabeth Miller ; married (2), July 1, 1869 Marshall County, Indiana, Mary Ann (Wiman) Gerard, born February 27, 1820 Ohio, died May 21, 1913.
Abraham was a farmer, moving his family from Elkhart County to Marshall County where he was enumerated in the 1850 census in which townships were not listed. Remaining in the same county, he appears in 1860 in West Township, 1870 in Central Township and 1880 in Polk Township. Three of the children, Martin, Elizabeth and Emanuel were of unsound mind, very likely due to intermarriages within the family.
His second wife was the widow of Minor Gerard [ca. 1835-1862] by whom there were 3 children, George Calvin, Isaac Newton and Hannah May, who were raised in the Miller household.
Abraham and his second wife are buried Blissville Cemetery, across the road from the Blissville Church of the Brethren in Marshall County.
