Page: 114 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. birth and death info from Tombstone Brentwood, Contra Costa, California, Union Cemetary http://www.paper-trail.org (there is a Daniel mentioned.

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. 1860 United States Federal Census Daniel Miller Name: Daniel Miller Age in 1860: 50 Birth Year: abt 1810 BirthPlace: Canada Home in 1860: Yount, Napa, California Gender: Male Post Office: Sebastopol Household Members:Name Age Daniel Miller 50 Carpenter Mary J Miller 35 (I read 33) Elmira Miller 11 Matilda J Miller 5 1870 United States Federal Census Daniel Miller Name: Daniel Miller Estimated Birth Year: abt 1810 Age in 1870: 60 BirthPlace: Canada Home in 1870: Township 3, Contra Costa, California Race: White Gender: Male Post Office: Martinez Household: Daniel age 60 Canada Mary 42 Canada Matilda 14 Oregon * (found 5/21/05 IL land record Daniel Miller Residence of Purchaser unknown,date of purchase-5/31/1843, 80 acres sec 10 T 39N R 10E Meridian 3 Aliquot or lot E2NW Dupage County, 1.25/acre $100 total price, type of land sale-FD, vol 686, page 56) MILLER DANIEL purchaserNumber=0050248>SESW 03 39N 10E 3 08/01/1844 DUPAGE MILLER DANIEL E2NW 10 39N 10E 3 05/31/1843 DUPAGE MILLER DANIEL purchaserNumber=0050250>NWSE 10 39N 10E 3 03/28/1844 DUPAGE MILLER DANIEL purchaserNumber=0050251>SESW 02 39N 10E 3 08/01/1844 DUPAGE MILLER DANIEL purchaserNumber=0050252>NESW 10 39N 10E 3 03/28/1844 DUPAGE Land in DuPage County, Illinois Daniel Miller Grantee Doc#1378 deed bk 3 pg 411 - 28 Oct 1844 80 acres +bldgs. $400 W1/2 NE1/4 sect 10 T39N R10E 3rd Prime Meridian #4315 deed bk 10 pg 189 - 1 May 1845 (recorded Vol 25 p295 Gen Land office) certificate #12398 public land sale 80 acres E1/2 SW1/4 sect 10 T39N R10E #4316 deed bk 10 pg 190 - 1 Jun 1845 (patent recorded vol 30 pg 300 Gen Land office) cert # 15095 pub land sale - 80 acres NE1/4 SW1/4 + NW1/4 SE1/4 sect 10 T39N R10E #4317 deed bk 10 pg 190 - 1 Sep 1845 (recorded Vol 32 pg 408 Gen Land office cert #16242 pub land sale- 40 acres SE1/4 SW1/4 sect 3 T39N R10E #3504 deed bk 8 pg 407 - 7 May 1847 - 4.88 acres +bldgs. $11.67 part of W1/2 SE1/4 sect 3 T39N R10E #3516 deed bk 8 pg 409 - 27 Sep 1848 - 67 acres + bldgs. $200, N1/2 of subdivision 8&9 sect 16 T40 R9E Daniel Miller - Grantor Doc #3841 deed bk 9 pg 262 - 17 Jan 1849 - 40 acres. $240, part of W1/2 NE1/4 sec 10 + part of W1/2 SE1/4 sect 3 T39N R10E from Daniel and Laura #3842 deed bk 9 pg 273 - 17 Jan 1849 - 80 acres. $150, W1/2 SE1/4 sect 10 T39N R10E from Daniel and Laura #5008 deed bk 11 pg 254 - 24 Mar 1849 - 37.25 acres $130, SE 1/4 SW1/4 sec 3 T39N R10E from Daniel only #5908 deed bk 12 pg 438 - 28 Jan 1852 - 67 acres, $800, N1/2 of subdivision 8&9 sect 16 T40 R9E from Daniel and Mary from Washington County, Oregon Terr. #6350 deed bk 13 pg 200 - 3 July 1852 - about 257 acres, $1104, Daniel Miller by his attorney in fact *There seems to be about 230 more acres sold than acquired.
