Notes for ROBERT MILLER:
From Dick Klopshinske, quoting book by Jeanne Hartwick "Sumpter Township 1840-1910" which quotes from 'History of Detroit and Wayne County and Early Michigan' Vol II, by Silas Farmer 1890.
"ROBERT MILLER was born in Delaware, Sept. 27, 1822, came to Michigan in 1864, and settled in Sumpter. He married Mary Jones, of New Jersey. They had 12 children, nine of whom survive [1890], viz.: Maria, Elizabeth, Sarah, Josiah, Mary, Virginia, Philander, Rebecca and Oliver. His wife died Aug. 16, 1880.

Dick Klopshinske has 9/28/1821, presumably from family data or tombstones. But earlier census figures indicate Robert was even younger (b. ca. 1824), and are more likely to be reliable.

The older Sarah is Robert's mother, double-listed also with Robert's brother Josiah. John Hewes is evidently the son of Robert's deceased sister and her husband Benjamin Hughes.

From "Indexed Lists of Landowners from 1876" of the Downriver Genealogical Society, 1980, Robert Miller and son-in-law John Perkins owned adjacent farms on the east side of Haggerty Road, John's on the southeast corner of Harris Road and Robert's immediately to the south of that. Each had 40 acres.

The Miller stone in Martinsville cemetery is a Oblisk with names on 4 sides,
two of which are now illegible. Information of death for Robert is on one of
these unreadable sides, but was copied by an uncle about 40 years ago.
Robert Miller d 27 Jan 1912
Mary w/o Robert died Aug 16 1880 aged 52y 8m 22d
Lydia d/o R & M Miller died Dec 22 1884 age 22y 4m 4d
No information from 4th side (something was there, but is now lost)
Small stones on the plot are:
Robert J. s/o R & M Miller b. Apr 24 1859 died Apr 24 1877 age 18 years
Charles 1867-1897
Robert 1821-1912 [Dick Klopshinske]

Notes for MARY ANN DEAN:
Wayne Co death records Bk. 5, p. 146 - 2400 - Aug. 16, 1880
Mary Miller - Female - White - Married - 55 y. - Sumpter - [cause] unknown - DE birth - [occup.] unknown
James Dean - DE - Dena Dean - DE
Recorded June 13, 1881

This seems to establish Dean as Mary's birth name, though the Sumpter History cited in Robert's notes refers to her as Mary Jones.
