  Photos		Ellen Carmen Miller, Nathanial Miller, Nathaniel Clinton Miller (standing)
  		Miller Family and Homestead, Fire Place Neck Road, Brookhaven, NY Perhaps taken around 1900. Second from the far right is Ellen Carman Miller. The quality of the photograph makes it impossible to identify others with certainty, although it has been suggested that the man to the far right with a hat is George Miller, and that the woman behind Ellen Carman is perhaps Margaret Hanna, a family servant who is buried with the Millers in the nearby family cemetery. The people to the left have not been identified.

[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.. [S157] Shelter Island: Mallman, PM REF 285.1 MAL., p. 167, 171. Mallman recorded six children of this union: Frederick, N. Clinton, Catherine, Mary and Sarah, twins, George.
