Family History Notes By John T.
Miller, Jr. Ongoing research on the genealogy
of Miller, Mathis, Weishaar and Baker families, et al.
AT RIGHT: Descendants
of Hannah
(Curtis) Pixley assembled at her grave
site in Stockbridge, MA. Hannah died
in 1817 at age 20, six days after the birth of her
only child, Hannah
Curtis Pixley. She could not have known that
the child would survive, much less that she would
marry and have numerous descendants, now spread
across the country.
At center is Pam Weishaar, Hannah's great x 4 granddaughter, with her daughters Katherine Miller and Sara (Miller) Schlenker. Katherine holds Sara's son Randall and in front of the stone is Hannah Schlenker, named after Hannah Curtis. The ladies wear sweat shirts commemorating the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment of the Continental Army. Hannah's grandfather Azor Curtis enlisted in the 2nd in 1777 at the age of 59 and turned 60 at Valley Forge. |
