[S780] Cemetery: Miller Family Cemetery. The Miller Family Cemetery is an approximately 50 ft. east-west x 85 ft. north-south plot located about 400 ft. east of Fire Place Neck Rd., between the Brookhaven Elementary School property and Brook Nursery Rd. (at the rear of 19 Fire Place Neck Road, just east of the large sump). There is a right of way from Fire Place Neck Rd. to the cemetery just north of the residential property, but it is not passable; access the the cemetery is gained through the backyard of the residence. This land was once all the Miller family farm, then became the Brook Nursery. It is now mostly residential housing. [S34] IGI, The IGI record gave a marriage date of 5 Oct 1833 -- clearly in error as she would have been only three.. [S61] 1860 Census, p. 215. She is living in Nathaniel Miller's household -- assuming Ellen is Elinor Carman as proposed by IGI.. [S135] Portrait and Biographical Record: Suffolk Co., p. 1000. Gave 1853 as marriage date..
