Daniel Miner, Gwinnett County, Georgia civil war period

minorron — 2012-03-31 16:35:19Z

I just completed documentation on Daniel Miner’s life during the civil war. Daniel lived in Gwinnett Ga in 1850 and enlisted in the Army of Tennessee on the 4th of Aug 1862.

The document is 40 pages of pictures and facts on the family during that period of time. It includes letters from family members which sheds a lot of light on their experiences. Some letters are exerts taken from the book: “In care of Yellow River: the complete civil war letters of Pvt. Eli Pinson Landers to his Mother” by Elizabeth Whitley Roberson.

Greetings! I have a Helen Miner born in 1846 in Mass. I know little else about her, other than She married Ed Topliff, likely in Ohio. (Son and Grandson were born there also.) Just a shot in the dark Helen might be a sibling or cousin to William Raymond. Thanks!!

Re: Miner Family

cranvillesquare — 2011-12-12 01:28:34Z

Hi, my name is Frank Alexander. I am trying amongst other things to fill in the family tree of a William Miner who was my grandfather Prentice's business partner at Miner & Alexander Lumber Co., 150 Howard St., New London Ct from the Depression years through the mid-1960s. (Photo enclosed of the lumber yard, closed since 2004.) I have reason to believe Bill was a distant cousin as well, related to Mary Ann Miner who married my GGGgrandfather William Rodman Alexander's brother Thomas Jefferson Alexander in 1830 in Groton CT. (Thomas and MaryAnn had at least two children: Thomas Benjamin in 1836 and Mary Jane, b. ?)

I'd look forward to any information you might provide in this direction, as your Miners are from the same time and general area.

Thanks - Frank Alexander

William D Miner born 1917 in Missouri

erichistoryguy — 2011-11-29 03:44:28Z

Hi,

I'm looking for anyone that may be related to or knows anything about William D Miner, born July 28, 1917 in Missouri. He was the son of Louranzy D Miner and Nancy (Weeks) Miner.

He was a crewman on a B-24 bomber and was killed August 7, 1944 in China. I'm related to another of the men on the plane and have been in contact with relatives of a few more of the crewmen. I'd like to share what I've learned about the men and their military service with Miner's relatives.

Thanks,

Eric

Re: Andrew & Fanny (Dart) Miner

wadergirl — 2011-09-11 14:54:32Z

Hi Bill,

Can I ask what documentation you've found for Andrew being the son of Adonijah? I've recently been looking into all of my Miner links, and while this one seems to be a "given" by most of the Miner descendants (and the Thomas Minor Society), it seems no one has any proof of the link.

Thanks!

William MINER b. abt 1781 Connecticut married Huldah PECK b. abt 1783 Connecticut

jdfox05 — 2011-07-28 17:46:29Z

I am looking for any information on the following family:

William Miner b. abt 1781, Connecticut. William married Huldah Peck b. abt 1783, Connecticut. Huldah is the daughter of Eliakim Peck b. 1759 Southington, Connecticut.

William and Huldah had at least three sons:
William Miner Jr. b. abt 1807 Connecticut
Levi C. Miner b. 1818 New York
Jeremiah Miner b. 1820 New York

It is possible more children were born, however I have census and vital records validating these 3 boys.

Levi is my descendant. It states on his Michigan death record that his parents were William Miner and Hulda Peck both born in Connecticut.

In the 1840 Federal Census they are living in York, Livingston County, New York
In the 1850 Federal Census they are living in Mount Morris, Livingston County, New York
In the 1860 Federal Census Huldah, William Jr. and Jeremiah are living in Mount Morris, Livingston County, New York. This leads me to beleive that William Sr. died between 1850 and 1860.

I beleive that Huldah and her brother James Peck married siblings, both listed as Miner's with unknown first names in the book on Joseph Peck's descendants. Those names are not unknown any more. I beleive my William married Huldah and that James married a Sally Miner b. bet 1780-1785.

I would greatly appreciate any information that could solidify any of my information, as well as knowing the names of William Miner's parents and whether or not William and Sally Miner were siblings. Additionally, if anyone has any information on who Huldah and James' mother was, I would be greatful.

Thank you!
Jason

Re: Hannah Miner b. 1712 or 1710, m. Noah Grant b. 1706 - Stonington, CT

lvten — 2011-05-03 18:45:04Z

have you checked with the Thomas Minor society people? (http://tmsociety.org/) I trust their research, and the website is difficult but has lots of info.

they have Thomas's daughter Hannah as:
Hannah MINER was born on 15 Sep 1655 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut. She died on 22 Aug 1721 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut.
Hannah married Thomas AVERY on 22 Oct 1677 in New London, New London, Connecticut. Thomas was born on 06 May 1651 in New London, New London, Connecticut. He died on 05 Jan 1736 in Montiville, New London, Connecticut.

and Ephraim's daughter:
. Hannah MINOR-2827 (Ephraim ) was born on 20 Apr 1671 in Taugwonk, Stonington, New London, Connecticut. She was christened on 16 Jun 1672 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut. She died in 1709.

Hannah married (MRIN:31553) Samuel FRINK-2839 on 6 Jan 1691/1692 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut. Samuel was born on 14 Feb 1668 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut. He died on 12 Oct 1713 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut.

so you're still missing at least a generation, here.
good luck searching!

George,

I'm sorry I do not have anymore information. I have not tried to get a copy of the will. This is the end of the trail for me, too.

Reverend John Miner was my paternal great-great grandfather. I would be very interested in receiving copies or notification of any information you discover.

Have you seen the material regarding Thomas Miner, the original imigrant from England in the mid-1600's?

Tom

Re: Timothy G. Miner and son William C. Miner

geo1111 — 2010-10-11 00:35:14Z

Tom,

Thanks for your reply. You wouldn't happen to have a scan of that will would you?

I can't tell you the amount of work that has gone into finding the parents of the Reverend, and this would be a huge step forward for us.

Thanks,

George

Re: Timothy G. Miner and son William C. Miner

tomminer1 — 2010-10-10 20:29:30Z

You may check the will of Thomas Minor who died in 1802, recorded in Jessamine County Kentucky, Will Book A, page 67, showed his children to be Sally Minor who married John Starr, John Minor (the reverend)who married Mary Graham, Robert Minor who married Martha Skeen, Charles Minor who married Nancy Moss and Thomas Minor. John Miner was born in PA in 1775 and came to Jessamine COunty KY in the late 1780's with his family. Probably connects back to Thomas Miner from CT in 1630's.

Re: Timothy G. Miner and son William C. Miner

geo1111 — 2010-10-10 19:09:04Z

The biggest question is the father/mother of Rev. John Francis Miner.

Full name, birth location, and parents of Malvina Williams (b 1854), wife of Thomas Miner (b 1854)

prnich — 2010-09-15 03:25:36Z

Trying to identify full name, birth location, and parents of Malvina Williams (b 1854), wife of Thomas Miner (b 1848, Stonington, New London, CT, parents Thomas Miner and Mary Elizabeth Green). The Thomas Miner Society website shows Malvina married Thomas in 1872 in Stonington and shows her place of birth as Noank, New London, CT, but the 1880, 1910, and 1920 US censuses list her birthplace as New York; the 1900 US census shows birthplace as Connecticut. I could not find an 1860 Census that seemed to match her. The 1870 US census lists a Malvine Williams, age 16, birthplace CT, in the household of Henry E. Davis in Groton, New London, CT, but I do not know whether or not this is the Malvina who married Thomas Miner and it still does not answer my questions if it is her. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Their daugther (Minnie Frances Miner was either born in Vermont or Massachusetts or just over the boarder in Qubec. I've never been able to find another true link to my Miners/Minors. Her family believe her father had been a Henry or John but her marriage cert give Benjamin F. as her father. Minnie (b.1868-1872 d.1946) was married(to Hereford Berry of North Andover, Essex MA) in Boston by a Rev. Miner...Odd coincidence. I can only find your B F M and one other that were the same age. Perhaps they were cousins? I'd really like to chat if you're available.If anyone else has something on this name please feel free to respond.

My husband's great grandfather was Ora Miner, Ina's older brother. There were 8 children I believe: Ora, Ina, Leo, Rio, May, Zoe, Ada, and Guy. Mary Jane and George Rufus are buried in Brookings, SD. So is their son Leo. Ora moved back to PA before he died and is buried there. Ora lived in PA, CO, TX and back in PA. He was a Methodist minister and a photographer. He taught at SMU and was also the photographer for the University. Ora's oldest son, also named George Rufus Miner, moved from TX to LA. Ora Miner married Dora Elizabeth Foulke and they had 5 children- 2 boys and 3 girls: George Rufus, Marian Ann, Lewise Ellison, Paul Gordon, Strelza Marie. Would love to know more info on the other brothers and sisters.
