Schaghticoke in 1840 – by Chris Kelly
I have been illustrating the lives of people in Schaghticoke in 1840 through the inventories in their probate files, made when they died without wills. Today I will conclude with one more.
Alexander A. Miller, died at age 27 in 1826. This young man, who left a widow and small daughter, was a non-commissioned officer in the local infantry regiment in the New York State Militia.
