Some ancestry of the Miller sisters
by Julie Helen Otto and William Addams Reitwiesner

The following material on the immediate ancestry of the three Miller sisters should not be considered either exhaustive or definitive, but rather as a second draft.

A previous version of this ancestry (the first draft, if you will), was published as "Etude 51" in C. E. D. R. E. (Cercle d'Etudes des Dynasties Royales Europeennes), Bulletin No. 63 & 64 [1995].

74 -- Isaac Samuels is described in A. Forbes and J. W. Greene, The Rich Men of Massachusetts [Boston: W.V.Spencer, 1851], p. 55, as follows:

        Samuels, Isaac                                    100,000
            A German Jew.  Commenced poor, accumulated wealth poor, is
        still poor, and in all human probility will ever remain poor -- if ap-
        pearance is any evidence.  Has had an indefinite amount of experience 
        in "truck and dicker," in a cellar, where his operations were for a 
        long time carried on.  Some of our richest and most enterprising men, 
        now standing on high ground, have started in a cellar.

79 -- A brother of number 38 (above), namely James Thresher Edson, married a sister of number 39 (above), namely Susan Tarbell Stevens. In the discussion of this marriage in the 1962 Edson genealogy (page 826, number 247-22), Susan Tarbell Steven is described as "daughter of William Stevens and Charlotte Oddlin, who was an Indian."

If this description is accurate, and Charlotte Oddlin (number 79) was an Indian, then she was probably a member of the Passamaquoddy or Penobscot nations, as these were the Indians who were native to the area around Waterville, Maine. Other Indian nations in that area at that time, but which had moved there from what is now New Brunswick, were the Maliseet and the Micmac. All of these were Abenaki.

There is no confirmation of Charlotte Oddlin's alleged Indian origin from any known Indian records.

89 -- Almost certainly a daugher of a William Bearisto, who with his brother Johnson Bearisto came to Prince Edward Island from Massachusetts in the 18th century. If this identification is correct, then the following ancestors can be added:

     178      William Bearisto
     179      NN

     356      William Bearisto (1716-1779) m. 1738
     357      Hannah Jackson (-1758)

     712      William Bearisto (1692-) m. 1715
     713      Elizabeth Walker (1689-)
     714      Ephraim Jackson (-1748), a cooper
     715      Mary Currier

     1424      George Barstow (1652-1726)
     1425      Mercy Woodward (1656-1726)
     1426      Thomas Walker (-1732), a bricklayer
     1427      Rebecca
     1428      Thomas Jackson (1640-1712) m. 1662
     1429      Hannah Johnson

     2848      George Barstow (1614-1653)
     2849      Susanna Merritt (-1654)
     2850      George Woodward
     2851      Mary
     2856      John Jackson (-1666)
     2857      Joan (-1675)
     2858      James Johnson (1602-1678)
     2859      Mary (1613-1694)

     5698      Thomas Merritt
     5699      Susannah

136 -- The Ancestral File ver 4.17, at AFN:1COS-QJ6, gives an unlikely birthplace and parentage of this John Springer. If it is accurate, then the following ancestors can be added:

     272      John Springer (1724/30-1783) m. 1753
     273      Hannah Trufant

     544      James Springer (1698-1772)
     545      Joanna Low (1709-)

     1088      John Springer (1671-) m. 1698
     1089      Elizabeth

     2176      Lawrence Springer (1655-1702)
     2177      Martha Hicks (-1704)

2304 -- See Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants [Baltimore: Genealogical, 1993], p. 389 for his descent from Henry I, King of England.

2305 -- See Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants [Baltimore: Genealogical, 1993], pp. 458-9 for her descent from Louis IV, King of France.

4922 -- For his gentry relatives, see R.L. Ward, "The Baronial Ancestry of Henry Sampson, Humility Cooper, and Ann (Cooper) Tilley" in The Genealogist 6 (1985): 166-186.

4924 -- See Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants [Baltimore: Genealogical, 1993], p. 334-5 for his descent from William the Lion, King of Scots.

9786 -- His sister Constant [Mitchell] Fobes is ancestral to The Princess of Wales.

FURTHER NOTES

Several ancestors of the Miller sisters, including:

     136     John Springer (1762-1837)
     152     Abiel Edson (1753-1823)
     288     Samuel Appleton (1713-1780)
     304     Abiezer Edson (1715-1791)

provided honorable service in aid of the cause of independence of the North American Colonies between 1775 and 1783. As a consequence of that service, any adult female descendants of these men (including each of the Miller sisters) is eligible to join the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (the DAR).
