Date of birth

I have his date of birth as 1841, but I'll leave 1837 till I check. Danny (via edit summary).

Britannica have it as 1837 but a Google search for the two dates show about 230 pages for each. Angela 02:45, Sep 21, 2003 (UTC)

To confuse things, the Cambridge Guide to Theatre has it as 1839. --Camembert

The 1841 version may have been his own legend [1]. --Wik 03:02, Sep 21, 2003 (UTC)

I have corresponded with several genealogists who have done work on the Miller family, and nearly all of them give his birth date as 8 Sept. 1837 (only one gives it as 10 Nov. 1841--no sources). All accounts state his birthplace was Liberty Twp., Union Co., Indiana. Furthermore, family researchers indicate that his sister, Ella Sarah MILLER was born in 1849 in Union Co., Indiana, while brother George Melvin MILLER was born in March 1853 in the Williamette Valley, Oregon--this gives us a window for the family's migration to Oregon. I was told at one time that the Millers were members of the Society of Friends, so thought there may be a MM (Monthy Meeting) record in Indiana that records Cincinnatus MILLER's birth date. (There may are compiled Quaker records in Indiana, but unfortunately, William Wade Hinshaw's six volumes of the Encyclopedia of American Quaker genealogy does not include Indiana. Original MM records--or at least microfilm or transcriptions of them --may be found at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana and Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.) However, I was informed by Thomas Hamm at Earlham College stated that there was only one monthly meeting in Union Co., IN, past or present: Salem MM, which is a little east of Liberty. No Millers are found in the records there prior to 1884, and no Witts. Hamm suggessted that Miller's ancestry, both maternal and paternal, looks entirely German--Miller, Witt, Fahl, and Petry. The Millers were among the founders of the Four Mile German Baptist, or Dunkard, Church in Union County, IN, and the Fahls were Dunkards as well. It seems quite plausable that someone confused Dunkards with Quakers. Both were pacifist and "plain." I've found other cases of Dunkards and Quakers being confused--most notably Annie Oakley's family. At any rate, if we want to find birth records for the Miller family, the Four Mile German Baptist in Union Co., IN is the place to start. -- Nick Sheedy 23:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

peer review requested - California Gold Rush

Peer review has been requested for the California Gold Rush article. All comments and suggestions are being accepted with an eye towards possible nomination of that article as a Featured Article. NorCalHistory 07:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

suggestion / request/ will someone put this in proper format and add it to the wikipedia

in Googles full view book search for Miller' Poem/ book "the ship in the desert" Both 1875 versions the Roberts Brothers, Boston edition and the Chapman & Hall, London edition can be found (add the key word verse when searching for the london edition) The importance of this to people studying Miller is that the two editions are NOT THE SAME the Boston Edition is a corrected, edited more polished version of the London edition. it shows in a way how Joaquin Miller worked. Publishers getting different copies of the same manuscript is something that would never happen in this computer age.

Info trimmed on actor George Paulsin

The "Legacy" section included perhaps overly-detailed info on the sister of an actor who once played Miller. I've preserved it here in case anyone would like to include it in a future George Paulsin article:

The former actor George Paulsin (born July 12, 1949) ... is a younger brother of the cosmetics businesswoman and Republican activist Georgette Mosbacher, and United States Ambassador to Poland.^{[Paulsin 1]}
