MO Death Cert # 39774
Father = Jacob Miller
Mother = Sarah
Widow
Informant = Ben Brown
Occupation = Housewife
COD = Pneumonia
NOTE: MO Death Cert indicates birth year as 1849.
UPDATED INFO: The informant listed on Rebecca's death certificate, Ben Brown, was the husband of Sallie Coffman Brown. Sallie was the daughter of Mary Anna Miller Coffman, sister of Rebecca Miller Clemens. Sallie and Ben Brown also lived in Carroll County, MO. Sallie preceded Rebecca in death, but her husband was still living. This connection is the basis for the corrected parents of Rebecca Miller Clemens. In census records prior to her marriage, Rebecca was listed as Margaret Miller, suggesting that Rebecca may have been her middle name. The 1880 Federal Census recorded both Margaret (aka Rebecca) and Sallie Coffman living in the household of Margaret's mother. Sallie's mother had died when she was a small child. Also, Rebecca's mother's name was Sarah, but she was called Sallie, a common alternative for Sarah.
