Notes

  • In 1900, Jesse Miller is 2 years old.

    1900 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 5 June, Prairie Township, District 7, page 3A, Hse #37, Fam #38
    Miller, Robt L Head W M Jan 1874  26 Married 5 years AR MS MS Farmer Owns
    Miller, Jennie Wife W M Feb 1876  24 Married 5 years 2 children/2 living AR GA AR Dairy Woman
    Miller, Maud Dau W F Aug 1895  4 AR AR AR

    Wright, Lete [Lettie?] Sister W F Nov 1879  20 Single  AR GA AR
    Wright, Lee R Brother W M Dec 1886  21 Single  AR GA AR Farm Laborer
    Wright, Robt Brother W M Nov 1889  10 Single AR GA AR Farm Laborer

    The relationship of the Wright individuals to the Millers is not clear.  They be half-siblings, or more likely step-siblings, of Robert Miller.  Jesse's birth date in 1997 is a year earlier than reported by him in his WWI draft registration and in the Social Security records.  The earlier report, in this case, would seem to be the more likely correct, reported, we assume, by his parents.

    World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
    Jesse Miller
    Residence Van, Arkansas, Arkansas
    Birth Date: 12 Sep 1898 Arkansas County
    Occupation Farmer
    Employed by Nearest Relative (Father?) R L Miller, Van, Arkansas
    Short, Stout, Grey Eyes, Brown Hair
    Registered 12 September 1918 Stuttgart, Arkansas Arkansas
    Signed Jesse Miller, Monticello, Arkansas

    Notice that the date of birth on the draft card is different by two days from the date on the Social Security records below.  I don't understand the import of the name of the town Monticello, Arkansas, written below his name.  His residence is reported as Van, which is in Arkansas County, while Monticello is two counties farther south in Drew County.  In general, I give more weight to the earlier date, especially where it appears to be reported by the individual themselves.  As commented above, this principle leads me to support the date reported in the 1900 census by his parents.  Thus the year will come from the 1900 census, but and the day comes form the WWI draft registration.  Further records may clarify this at a future time.
