I have a Multnomah Co death in December of 1942 for John which may or may not be the correct one since John Miller is such and unusual name, but it would help me to corroborate if I could track John and Susan and William past 1880. One source lists Susan as dead before 1911 but no details and has John still in the Cottage Grove area where I am not finding him after 1880. Oops, I think I just found them, I had one last method, it turns out there are only 358 Oregon born heads of family in 1910 in Oregon and I am pretty sure John W, Emma
S with 26 year old son George in Seventh Ward 95th Pct Multnomah county are my folks so the person supplied the 1911 date just jumped a whole bunch in cred since before this I couldn't find corroboration of George's birth.</font></div><div class="headerselect" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal;"><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div class="headerselect" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal;"><font face="Verdana">Huh, now looking again just Miller born in Oregon 1900 there they are in CG where they belong???

1870.</font></div><div class="headerselect" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal;"><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div class="headerselect" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal;"><font face="Verdana">I guess at this point I no longer need to know, but why is it so hard to find someone with a name like that unless these are the people. </font></div><div class="headerselect" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal;"><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div class="headerselect" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal;"><font
