The characters are representative of a broad group of settlers and pioneers who were not famous or remarkable, except as we are all remarkable and unique, but who helped lay the foundations of America. The author includes a number of family stories and anecdotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiller was driven to preserve, and in a few cases extend, the family information handed down to her by her father and his parents before him. As a result, \u003cem\u003eRoots in America \u003c\/em\u003eincludes formal genealogies of the families of Abijah Miller, of New York State, and his wives Sarah Titus and Lucinda Wicker; Abraham Claypool and his wife Elizabeth Wilson, of Virginia and Ross County, Ohio; Colquhoun and Innes Grant, sons of Peter Grant and Margaret Cunningham, of Stirling, Scotland, and the brothers' several wives; and Levin Swiggett, of Seaford, Delaware and Cambridge City, Indiana, and his wife Hester Ann Owen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dilemma for all family historians is when to stop collecting information--or often in her case, additional evidence--and commit to writing. Having committed to a project of significant scale, Miller tries to clearly indicate where evidence falls short and provide a pathway for future genealogists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53757088334157,"sku":"9781887043427","price":118.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/amVuTGdWL3MwM05tWUEvYkNsMU1Cdz09.webp?v=1776757706","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/roots-in-america-millers-claypools-grants-and-swiggetts-from-settlement-to-the-midwest-hardcover","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
