History of the Nolan and Miller families from their British origins in the 1500's through their 20th Century descendants in America, with focus on the ancestors, descendants and allied families of Lewis Elmer Nolan (1870-1939) and his wife, Bertha Orpha Miller (d. 1959). Lewis's grandparents left Ballinasloe (Ireland) and settled in New Jersey in 1843, and then in Norwalk (Wisconsin). Their youngest son Lewis married Bertha Orpha Miller, the descendant of the British immigrant Obadiah Miller (b. 1645). Lewis and Bertha married in 1900 in Wisconsin. From the 1600-1800's, other Nolans, Millers, and other allied families lived in: Canada, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Some later families also moved to California, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and elsewhere.
William Miller was the founder of the modern American millennial tradition. Using various dates found in scripture, he sought to calculate the chronology of Christ's return to earth. Although his prediction that Christ would visibly return in 1843 failed spectacularly, followers reinterpreted his message and laid the basis for the modern Seventh-day Adventist Church. In this book, David L. Rowe utilizes the vast collection of Miller primary materials to reconstruct Miller's life. He relies on information found in correspondence. Rowe gives special attention to the Miller family connections and to Miller's personal identity struggles, documenting a deep tension between proclivities for both obedience and rebellion.
