David MILLER was born before 1790 in Homburg, Germany.

I found a marriage for David Miller and Betsy Foster for 11 AUG 1807 in Monroe County which confirms that David did in fact live in Monroe County.

Notes for Delbert Wayne Miller:
Our Grandfather Wayne Miller farmed 200 acres on Frog's Creek near Sissonville, West Virginia. Wayne's farm lie in a valley as you came over the mountain from George Cunningham's (Icie's parents) farm on Kelly's Creek Road. To arrive at his farm, you could drive over a dirt road which was usually not passable to automobiles due to large rocks sticking up out of the red clay. The more common and more passable route to their farm was to drive to George Summer Cunningham's farm and climb down a narrow and sometimes steep mountain path. This was quite interesting while carrying groceries, packages or a suitcase for a visit.
At the bottom of the mountain was a man-made trout pond which also served as a source of water for his cattle. There are many stories of "the Big One" that got away from his son Delbert (Deb) who liked to fish the pond. You would then walk through the cow pasture across a small trickle of a creek, past the log barn on the right and the pig stye on the left, turn right before the chicken coop past Grandma Miller's vegetable garden to the small two bedroom house with no running water. There waws a well off the back porch and an outhouse 20 yards away.
After an 8 hour car ride and a walk down the mountain you stepped up to the back porch, where there was a well with the coolest, sweetest water. In the kitchen there was a wood burning stove to cook on and in the living room a pot bellied stove to keep the small house warm in the winter. Wayne and Icie slept on a double bed in the living room. Their granddaughter, Carol Milam, remembers watching the Grand Old Opry on a small black and white television in the living room. There was also an old gramophone in the living room as well.
While Icie was reserved and quiet, Wayne was very sociable. He would take his son-in-law and grandsons hunting for squirrel or rabbit. After dinner, the visitors and Wayne would sit on the front porch and talk until dark. It was very peaceful to look out over the hay stacks and the corn fields and listen to the crickets sing as the sun went down.
As they got older, Wayne and Icie moved onto the "hard road" near Sissonville because their children became concerned about getting them to medical services if they could not walk up the mountain. I don't know if they were ever happy leaving the farm, but they lived with their children, Lois and Delbert, for many years until Wayne passed away.
Grandson William Milam recalls:
"My mother’s family lived along Frog’s Creek and didn’t receive electricity until about 1955. They lived in a small Jenny Lynn house with large rocks under each corner, a tin roof, a pot–belly stove in the living room, a wood fired kitchen stove, a water well off the back porch and an outhouse some 20 yards away. This grandfather farmed with horses – never owning power equipment – and only had cash when he sold a calf or hog in order to buy life’s staples: flour, corn meal, sugar, salt, pepper, clothes and seed for next year’s crops. But they cured the most delicious ham and bacon and made sausage flavored with sage. They kept the hams and sides of bacon in a cave on the hillside behind the house.
My mom rode on horseback in fall and spring to attend high school 4 miles away and, in exchange for room and board, cleaned house and did laundry so she could attend high school in the winter in the town of Sissonsville. Because of her high regard for education, my two siblings and I were motivated to earn graduate degrees."
Notes for Icie Erdine Cunningham:
Icie was a quiet woman who tended her chores of cooking, tending the chickens, gathering eggs, vegetable gardening, milking the cows, making her own butter in a churn and keeping house. She seldom sat down to eat with the family, but rather waited until after everyone else was done, then sat down and ate by herself. After she would clear the table and wash the dishes, she would start to get ready for bed. She would take down her long braided coal-black hair and comb and comb it before going to bed. As she grew older, she would read the Bible until she lost her eye sight in her later years.
Their grown children, Lois and Delbert, and a grandson, Cliff Miller, lived with her and Wayne on the farm on Frog's Creek. Lois and Delbert took care of their parents. Delbert's son, Cliff Allen, lived with them until he graduated from high school and entered the military.
Icie collected a few old coins in a torn black rayon change purse. They were old Indian nickels with the dates almost worn off.
{ Delbert Wayne Miller and Julia Pritt had the one daughter together: Faye V. MILLER born on 25 AUG 1912 in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Faye died on 12 DEC 2009. }
Delbert Wayne MILLER and Icie Erdine CUNNINGHAM had the following children:
Christina Leota MILLER was born on 1 SEP 1915 on a 200 acre farm on Frog's Creek near Sissonville, Kanawha County, West Virginia. She died on 15 JAN 2002 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. She married William Freer Milam Sr, son of Claude Egbert Milam and Girtha Jane Fisher, on 8 NOV 1940 in Russell, Kentucky. He was born on 19 JUN 1912 on a 200 acre farm near Sissonville, Kanawha County, West Virginia. He died on 13 AUG 1993 in Wintersville, Jefferson County, Ohio.
Lois Faye MILLER was born in 1918 on her family's farm along Frog's Creek in Kanawha County, West Virginia. She died in 1968 in Sissonville, Kanawha County.
Notes for Lois Faye Miller:
Lois married William Dexter BLACKSHIRE in 1951 in Kanawha County. Aunt Lois suffered from juvenile diabetis mellitus from the time she was a teenager which required insulin injections. During her life she developed many of the complications of that disease.
After her brief marriage to Blackshire dissolved, Lois lived with her parents, Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Icie, on their 200 acre farm. She helped her parents immencely and she helped to raise her brother Delbert's son, Cliff Miller, since Delbert worked in construction in the Charleston area. She died of the complications of diabetes at the age of fifty in 1968 in Sissonville, Kanawha County.
George Ray MILLER was born on 3 OCT 1923 in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Ray died on 24 NOV 1999 in Charleston, WV.
Notes for George Ray Miller:
Ray, as he was known, served in the US Army in Germany during World War II. Ray's arm insignia indicated that he was a Technician Fifth Grade, referred to as a "Tech Corporal". Please see Uncle Ray's photos page which shows his insignia here (link) .We know from a photograph which Uncle Ray labled "Black Forest", that he was based in the Black Forest in Germany for awhile. Ray was therefore in the US Seventh Army commanded by Lieutenant General Alexander Patch. The US Seventh Army invaded southern France in August 1944 then faught its way through the Vosges Mountains into southern Germany and eventually into Austria. They crossed the Rhine River into Germany in March 1945 then into the Black Forest. After the war, Ray Miller married Edith Avaleen HARRISON in 1946 in Kanawha County.
For a number of years Ray was a sales representative for the Planters Peanut Company. Later he started his own business and represented several candy companies.
Avaleen was born on 11 JAN 1925 in Liberty, Kanawha County. She died on 7 MAR 1998.
George Ray MILLER and Edith Avaleen HARRISON had the following children:
David MILLER.
Gary Allen MILLER.
Delbert “Deb” Vestis MILLER was born on 29 DEC 1929 on his family's farm along Frog's Creek in Kanawha County. He died on 23 FEB 1995. He married Barbara SMITH in 1953 in Kanawha County after he returned from his Army service during the Korean War.
Notes for Delbert Vestis Miller:
Delbert served in the United States Army from 28 NOV 1951 when he enlisted until 27 JUL 1953. He was in South Korea when the fighting was along the 38th Parallel in a series of battles lasting a couple weeks to a month. These battles were often named for a ridge or hill the North Koreans and Chinese were attempting to take: the Battle of Bloody Ridge (18 August–15 September 1951), the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge(13 September–15 October 1951), the Battle of Triangle Hill (14 October–25 November 1952), the Battle of Pork Chop Hill (23 March–16 July 1953). Please see Uncle Deb's photos page which shows the rugged, mountainous land where he fought here (link) . In his letters Uncle Deb said that he had volunteered as a sniper on the front lines facing the Chinese and North Koreans. Deb volunteered because snipers were paid extra, hazardous duty pay. In letters my Mom, Christine, urged Uncle Deb not to volunteer a second time but he did two tours as a sniper. After two years of negotiations the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on 27 July 1953 which established the Demilitarized Zone (DNZ).
After his devorce, Delbert raised his son Cliff with the help of his sister, Lois, and his parents on their farm since he worked in construction usually in the Charleston area. Eventually they all moved to a small house on the outskirts of Sissonsville since Grandfather and Grandmother Miller had become too old to work their farm and they didn't have easy access to healthcare. Uncle Deb worked in construction until he fell from a scafold and was badly injured.
Delbert Vestis MILLER and Barbara SMITH had one child:
Cliff MILLER was born on 24 JUL 1954.
Cliff married Nina Mae WYRICK.
FIFTH GENERATION - Christina Leota Miller (1 SEP 1915 - 15 JAN 2002)
Christina Leota MILLER was born on 1 SEP 1915 on a farm on Frog's Creek, Kanawha County, West Virginia. She died on 15 JAN 2002 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. She married William Freer MILAM Sr, son of Claude Egbert Milam and Girtha Jane Fisher, on 8 Nov 1940 in Russell, Kentucky. He was born on 19 JUN 1912 on a 200 acre farm near Sissonville, Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA. He died on 13 AUG 1993 in Wintersville, Jefferson, Ohio, USA.
Notes for Christina Leota Miller:
Christina loved education and learning. She walked miles to the one room school house on Frogg's Creek. It only provided grades 1 through 8. She asked her parents if she could go to high school in Sissonville. Her mother wanted her to stay at home to help care for the younger children and with the farming chores. But her father arranged for her to board with the Newhouse family in Sissonville during the Winter. She cleaned their house and did laundry in exchange for room and board. During the day, she went to Sissonville High School.
She pushed all of her children to perform well in school. She helped them learn their multiplication tables and practice their spelling words. She wanted her sons to be doctors and for her daughter to go to college to meet and marry a doctor! She was a good baker and made a very tasty pie crust which is not easy. She enjoyed learning new recipes from friends and then tweaking them to be even better. She had a vegetable garden well into her 70's. There was a special black raspberry patch on a hillside near Wintersville, Ohio, where she would go to pick berries. Then she would make black berry pies and black raspberry jam. For many years she canned and froze vegetables from her garden.
Notes for William Freer Milam Sr:
William Freer Milam was born on a farm near Sissonville, W. Va. on 19 JUN 1912. After his father declared bankruptsy, the family moved north to Steubenville, Ohio. His father, Claude, obtained a position in the Power Plant of Weirton Steel Company. To help support his family which included three younger siblings, Freer obtained work there too in the Tin Mill at the age of 16. He had to lie about his age.
Although he worked in a tin mill, he always had a vegetable garden and fruit trees similar to his youth. Freer, as he was known to his family and friends, was a proud man who always dressed very neatly and was rather reserved and private. He liked to have fine cars which he kept well cleaned and serviced. One day in 1959 he surprised his children by picking them up from school in a brand new, special order white Pontiac Bonneville convertible with beigh, pink and silver leather interior. It was a beautiful car which we all loved to ride in with the top down.
For recreation, he enjoyed going to horse races or dog races and also played golf. He once made a Hole-in-One and received a wooden ashtray trophy with an engraved plate with the ball mounted on it.
Freer worked for 44 years at the Weirton Steel Company. He retired after a fractured leg and pelvis when he was run over by a truck late at night while walking to his car. A truck ran off the road and hit him from behind near where his carpool dropped him off.
Freer told his daughter that his father lived by a creed -- "to live each day so as to hurt no one" -- and that he Freer also tried to live by that creed. Freer and Christine enjoyed their grandchildren and always enjoyed their visits. Freer and his grandson, Robbie, would play golf together. I believe they had a special relationship.
After retirement, Christine and Freer liked to spend 2 months each Winter in Florida near St. Peterberg to be away from the cold and snow. Since they stayed at the same apartment each year, they met their friends down there annually. Freer played some golf, they walked the beach and went to restaurants.
