Marriage Notes for MARY NORWOOD and JOHN MILLER:
From Joseph Romeo:
Ancestry.com. Camden County, New Jersey Marriages, 1837-1910 [database online]. Orem, UT: MyFamily.com, Inc., 1999. Original data: Craig, H. Stanley. Camden County New Jersey Marriages. Merchantville, NJ: H. Stanley Craig Pub., 1932: John W. - Mary Ann Norwood, 8-24-1873. The groom's surname is omitted in the on-line database, so the printed version of the book needs to be checked to confirm that this is John W. Miller. The bride's middle name given as Ann is consistent with her listing in the 1900 census as Mary A Miller.

Children of MARY NORWOOD and JOHN MILLER are:

MARTHA⁴ MILLER (Source: Death certificate.), b. 11 Jun 1874, New Jersey (Source: Death certificate.); d. 15 Jan 1946, Washtenaw Co., Michigan (Source: Death certificate.).
