1.	Lemuel E. Miller - bom on December 18, 1891 and died on January 25, 1975. He married Lorenza J. Jones and lived near Picayune. After Lemuel’s father died, around 1890, he was raised by Thomas R. Smith. Lemuel had:
a.	Grayson L. Miller - resided in Picayune, MS.
b.	Farben L. Miller - resided in Biloxi, MS.
c.	Carl H. “Mutt” Miller - resided in Picayune, MS.
d.	Edward Miller — resided in Picayune, MS.
e.	Paul T. Miller - resided in Pearl River County, MS.

D.	Sarah Miller (aka Eva A. Favre) - married Dr. Marcus J. Magruder on October
14,	1891 in Hancock County, MS and lived in New Orleans, LA. Her marriage record shows her name was “Eva Angeline Favre.” Her Louisiana death certificate says “Eva Favre Magruder” died in St. Tammany Parish, LA in 1958, at age 91 (1867). Her family members state that she died at her daughter’s home in Lacombe, LA, and is buried in Metairie Cemetery in LA. She was bom on November 19, 1868, and died in October 1958. She is listed in the 1900 New Orleans census as bom in November 1867. In the 1930 census, she is listed as bom in 1866, and the 1940 New Orleans census has her bom in 1868. In the 1880 census of Hancock County, we find “Sarah Miller” living with T.M. Favre, his wife, Angeline, and their children. She is listed as a “servant” and age 12 (1868). Then on February 27, 1884, the Mississippi Legislature legally had a name change for Sarah Miller to Eva Angeline Favre of Hancock County. Close family members told us Sarah (Eva) was adopted by Theophilus M. “Off’ Favre of Pearlington, MS. Her daughter, Julia Hardy, was not sure if her mother was the biological child of Theophilus Favre. Eva’s husband was a medical doctor in New Orleans, LA, and she had four children:
1.	Marcus J. Magruder, Jr. - was bom on September 27, 1893, and married Louise King. He died in New Orleans, LA, and had three children.
2.	Augustus “Logan” Magruder - was bom on July 17, 1895, and married Alma Hotstream. He resided in Covington, LA, was a dentist there, and had three children.
3.	Evangeline Magruder - was bom on January 21, 1898, and married Joseph Folse, Jr. She resided in New Orleans, LA, and had no children.
4.	Julia Mae Magruder — was bom on January 21, 1901, married Guy T. Hardy, and resided in Gulfport, MS. She was the source of this information and had no children.
E.	Mary “Alice” (Yarborough) Miller - was bom on June 29, 1875, as found on her Baptismal record at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church in Bay St. Louis.
Parents listed were “William Yarbrough and Sera Brown.” She married George
A.	Mitchell in 1897 in Hancock County and lived near Pearlington, MS. She was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Asa Russ in Pearlington after her mother gave her away. Alice had one son, Russ Mitchell that lived on Hwy 90 west of Pearlington in LA. Russ Mitchell married Eleanor Dean. Alice is buried in the Pearlington cemetery
