I agree with our connection through Ida Alice Miller. Her older sister was Sarah Emeretta Miller and she was my ggrandmother. And that their parents were Samuel W Miller and Sarah Elizabeth O'Connor.

Thanks you for posting the civil war pension papers. It gives me sources for so many people!

I also agree with the children of Lillian May and Martin William O'Connor.  Although Maude's middle name would have been spelled Francelia, after one of her ggrandmothers.-Cordelia Francelia Heath Parsons. And I have seen her name both with and without the "e".  So not sure about that? I will check the spelling on letters I have of hers.

But I have a different connection to Sarah Elizabeth O'Connor Millers parents.  I see you as having her come from Butler PA. and then marrying in Bradford County. But I have connected her as the daughter of William and Lucy O'Connor of Standing Stone, PA. So we have different parents for her!  I am not definite about my research-because there are so many Sarah O'Connors....But I don't have any connections to Butler PA at this point.

Do you have William S Miller located in either the 1850 or 1860 or 1870 census records? I think I have him in 1840 and 1880. So who was his second wife that had children named William and Peter, I am guessing they are from his second wife?

At this point I do not believe Patrick O'Conner was the son of Cornelius O'Connor.

I haven't  looked too much for parents of my William O'Connor b 1805 in PA....there are several options-but that will have to wait for later research.

WOW...where did you learn about this? That is very interesting!

In my tree I have sources that William O'Connor m a Lucy Benjamin. But this William O'Connor was born in about 1815, and he and Lucy had a daughter named Sarah Elizabeth O'Connor. They lived in Standing Stone.   The siblings I have for Sarah O'Connor are: Charles, Lauretta, George, Emeretta, Levi, Mary Jane, Frederick.

So your Sarah E O'Connor came from Butler PA...wondering how and why she ended up in Standing Stone?

 on Ancestry.com or Family Search in 1880 census for Plunketts Creek, Lycoming County. I have:

Dwelling 1-Samuel E Miller-this would be Samuel W Millers oldest son Edward Samuel married to Susan Kilgus.

Dwelling 2- Samuel Miller-I think this is our Samuel William Miller-would have been after his first wife Sarah Elizabeth died, but before he remarried Mary Jane

Dwelling 4 William S Miller. I am pretty sure this is William Samuel Miller married to his second wife Esther. (Although this is different second marriage for William than what you have.)

I can send other census records I think match...but I am having a hard time finding all of them in the 1870 census. I am supposing there is a bad transcription so I can't find them. So I have been looking through all the towns I think they may have lived In!
