The Family of Jane Octavia Macomb Miller and Morris Smith Miller


From Find-A-Grave.

She was the daughter of Alexander Macomb, who became the U.S. general-in-chief of the Army after the War of 1812.

1822-1900

She married Morris Smith Miller (1822-1900) who served in the Quartermaster's Department during the Civil War. and was appointed to brevet brigadier general n March 1865.  He was the son og Morris Smith Miller (1779-1824) who was a Congressman 1813-1815, and later mayor of Albany, New York and a N.Y. State Court Judge.

They had a son named COL. ALEXANDER MACOMB MILLER (1843-1904).  USMA graduate 1865, 3rd in class.

A daughter, MARIA BLEEKER MILLER WHEATON  (1846-1924) married FRANK WHEATON  (1833-1903) a career military officer who fought in the Civil War and the Indian Wars.

So, we started with the Perry-Rodgers families and now we have the Macombs, Millers and Wheatons.  Quite the military families.
