Daniel Miller and Laura Crumb were married 4 March 1846 in DuPage County, Illinois. They were married nearly 3 years before their first child, Elmira, was born in 17 January 1849. Laura died shortly after the birth of their child. Laura had signed with Daniel to sell property in DuPage County just 3 days before giving birth.
Daniel Miller was born 10 May 1810 in Ancaster, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. Nothing is known about his family. He shows up in DuPage County, Illinois in land records as early as May 1843. He is there in the 1850 Census but without Laura or Elmira. In 1852 he and Mary sell land in DuPage County through an attorney as he is in Washington County, Oregon. It is not known when he and Mary married, but they had a daughter, Matilda, who was born in Oregon in 1856. Matilda died giving birth to her first child the same year Daniel, her father, died. Mary was born in Ireland and came to America in 1851. The family story is that Daniel came to California in 1852 in a covered wagon. (Did he go to California and then return to Oregon?) Daniel and Mary are in Yount, Napa County, California in the 1860 census. By 1870 they were in Contra Costa County, where both Daniel and Mary Miller died. They are both buried in the Union cemetery in Brentwood, Contra Costa County, California. Daniel was 69 years old.
Laura Crumb was born about 1824 in New York. She was the 4th of 11th children born to William and Anna Lewis Crumb. William died in 1947 in DuPage County, Illinois. Anna then married Willard Dingman in 1947 and they moved to New York. Both the Crumb and Lewis ancestors were from Washington County, Rhode Island. It is interesting to note that Laura's sister Harriet, who married James Stanton, lived in Oakland, California very close to where Laura's daughter, Elmira, lived during that same time period. Did they know each other? Laura Died in February 1847 in DuPage County, Illinois, shortly after the birth of her only child. She was 25 years old. Where she is buried is not known. There is no known picture of her.

The family story is that Daniel came to California in 1852 in a covered wagon. ( Did he go to California and then return, as his daughter, Matilda was born in Oregon in 1856?)
I have been to the cemetary where he is buried along with his 2nd wife, Mary, their daughter, Matilda, and her husband and their daughter. His first daughter, Elmira and her husband, Erasmus Grigsby, are also buried there in Brentwood, California.
