Spinning wheel brought overland by Hezakiah Monroe Miller about 1895. Probably brought by railroad. It was probably not used as a spinning wheel but kept as a family heirloom. The Miller-Meyer-Poffenburger families settle north of Knight's Landing on a ranch near the river. Mrs. Duncan's husband, Jack Miller Duncan was grandson of H.M. Miller. The original Miller family came from Sharpville or Sharpsburg near Hagerstown MD. Wheel is of oak. Miller, Charlotte Duncan Duncan, Jack Miller, Miller Meyer Poffenburger Miller, Hezakiah Monroe
