Rebecca is his mother, Rebecca Sisco Norwood Miller. Mary might be future wife, or her twin sister (from Barbara Webster's report). Mary and John Miller may be half-siblings by mother's second husband, though age doesn't quite match. Next door to Thomas Morris family. Comparing Stacey's report: Ann Rust not present and Rebecca's age corrected from info sent by Stacey and JR.

From Barbara Webster citing land records: Charles Norwood sold 11 acres of land in Milton, Sussex Co, DE, to Noble Ellingsworth in 1859, after Charles was already in MI. At the same time, Rebecca Miller and Deborix and Sarah Miller and Alfred and Mary Miller sold 11 acres in the same place to the same man. The land was originally purchased by Joseph Miller in 1842, evidently Rebecca's second husband. Since Deborix and Alfred were sons of John Hughes Miller, this indicates that their wives are the daughters of Rebecca by Joseph. Her son, John Miller, is not mentioned.

From Barbara citing stones at Martinsville Cem: Charles 1820-1898, Margaret 1842-1926, Elizabeth RYAN 1872-1935, May b1868- still alive in 1956 - in picture in 1942, Linda [Lydia?] b1861- still alive in 1956, John G. born and died 1864.
