BULLARD, MILLER posted by Sandra Ferguson on Wednesday, February 17, 1999: Susan Ann MILLER was married on 7 Feb. 1841 to Reuben James BULLARD, and they wed in Helena, Ark. Susan was only 15, and so was signed for by a guardian, whose name is not listed. Her parents were Martin and Elizabeth Berry MILLER, and supposedly they all were from Milledgeville, Ga. Now why Susan married in Helena is beyond me, but I wonder if her parents were living there at the time. Martin does not appear on the 1830,40,or 50 census of Phillips, but I wonder if there are any tax records available that I could check, either as a look up or on line. I just don't know where to go from here, and any help/suggestions will be appreciated.
