Notes for Susan Clarissa Alexander

In 1860, A. C. and Susan Miller appear in the Mecklenburg census as family #863. Family #864 was headed by Margaret Miller, widow age 83, Elizabeth Miller age 40, and Margaret Elwood, age 18.
Also in the 1860 census, John G. and Leah Monteith Orr were family #865. Family #862 was headed by Martha Monteith, widow age 60, and included Maria Monteith, who would marry James L. V. Orr, another brother. Maria and Leah Monteith were sisters.
In the Mecklenburg census of 1870, Cunningham Miller Orr lived with Susan C. Miller. He was listed as the nephew of Susan C. Miller, who was the head of the house. When he married, Cunningham Orr and his family continued to live with Susan Miller. In the 1880 Census, C. Susan Miller is recorded in Long Creek Township as dwelling #348 family #359. Her age is 63. M. Cunningham Orr is recorded as dwelling #348 family #360, and his relationship to C. Susan Miller is recorded as nephew. Cunningham has a wife and four children.
In 1920, Susan Miller age 93 resides with Silas G. Orr and his sister Jennette Orr, and is listed as their aunt.
Susan C(larissa) Miller was probably married to Andrew Cunningham Miller, who was born June 10, 1810 and died Feb. 10, 1865. See the estate of John Garrison Alexander and of Elizabeth (Lemmond) Alexander, Silas Orr Executor. Andrew C. Miller is buried at Sugaw Creek Presbyterian Church. Miss Elizabeth Miller is buried close by Andrew Miller at Sugaw Creek. She was born on Oct. 18, 1815 and died March 30, 1872.
Margaret A. Ellwood is buried beside Elizabeth. She was born on Sept. 17, 1833 or 38 and died Dec. 30, 1869. Tirzah C. Wilson, who was Tirzah Cunningham Miller [mother of Margaret Isabelle Wilson who married Joseph Lemmond Orr], is buried alongside Andrew C. Miller at Sugaw Creek.
It is not known by the researcher at this time whether Susan C. Miller was the sister of Mary Flavilla Alexander, but that is what I suspect. I have not found a marriage bond for Andrew Miller and Susan Alexander.
