Millar/Miller Family
Generation 1
William Millar is our first known ancestor in this line. He was
born 11 July 1832 in Armagh, Ireland and died 16 March 1901 at Norwood,
Lucas Co., IA. All that is known about his parents is that they were born
in Scotland. He may have had brothers named John and Samuel of whom I have

changed the spelling of his surname to Miller. His occupation was
farmer. He married 2 May 1859 to Diantha Ames at Mason Co., IL.
