!NOTES:Her name was "Maria Magdalena", which was anglicized to "Mary" later in life.;
!NOTES:Her B/D is given in the Miller book as 14 Jun 1735. Presumably this date comes from the Moravian records, but I haven't yet seen an actual record giving that date for her. It may be in her obituary, if there was one for her when she died in 1813. ** Perhaps someone has that record they can share with me?;
!CENSUS:1790 Rowan Co., NC p. 328
Mary Miller no ages (bef 1790) 2-1-1-0-0
My analysis (who each person *might* be)
2 males over 16 (bef 1774) = 1. Son?
" males over 16 (bef 1774) = 2. Joseph Miller (1773) son
1 male under 16 (1774/1790) = Jonathan Miller (1776) son
1 female (before 1790) = Mary Faber Miller (1735)
* In same group with Michael Miller (son), Nicholas Miller, Henry Miller (son or son-in-law) and Martin Miller.;
!CENSUS:1800 Rowan Co., NC p. 417/415
Mary Miller age 45+ (bef 1755) 00000-00001-0-0
My analysis (who each person *might* be)
1 female age 45+ (before 1755) = Mary Faber Miller (1735);
!CENSUS:1810 x
x Two Mary Millers listed in Rowan, but both too young to be same person. Our Mary was probably living with one of her children. Moravian records show that in 1805 she was living with her son Jonathan in Ashe Co., NC. Since she is buried in Friedburg, she probably returned home at some point after 1805,or perhaps was returned for burial.;
!TOMBSTONE:Davidson Co, NC Friedburg Moravian Cemetery "Maria Muller D: 1813";
