Wexford / Re: Miller family in Wexford
« on: Thursday 20 September 12 17:31 BST (UK)  »
Just to add to the Miller/Rinehart connection, the children of Stephen Rinehart and Mary Miller moved to Saint John, New Brunswick in Canada in the early 1870s. Two of the Rinehart sons married two Miller girls related to a William Miller who was born about 1805 in County Kilkenny, Ireland and moved to Canada in the 1820s and established a family at Caverhill, New Brunswick, Canada.

There is some curiosity as to whether this William Miller who moved to Canada is related to Mary Miller (about 1816-1885, wife of Stephen Rinehart) and might have influenced the Rinehart children's choice of New Brunswick when they left Ireland.

I have no documentary evidence of any relationship other than William (1805-1881) was born in County Kilkenny and Mary Miller & Stephen Rinehart's family lived in Listerlin Parish, County Kilkenny and then both families ended up in New Brunswick, Canada where they inter-married.

Thank you all for your responses!

Yes, Stephen Rinehart is the one who died 7 Feb 1872 in Listerlin as was reported in New Ross.

Attached is the letter from a researcher in the 1990s that lists the Rinehart marriages in Wexford including my Stephen Rynhart and Mary Miller.

There is a group of Palantine Rynehart researchers around the world that have been great at providing more information (like the letter listing marriages). They seem pretty sure most are descended from Heinrich Rhinehart who came from Germany to Ireland with the Palantines about 1709 but records are scarce in connecting all the families.

I have been directed by the Diocese of Ferns to the RCB Library (http://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/42) and am waiting to hear back from them.
Thanks again!

I am looking for information about a Miller/Rynhart marriage in Wexford too.

Stephen Rinehart/Rynhart married Mary Miller in 1839 in the Diocese of Ferns. but we know nothing else about them except Stephen was born about 1799 and Mary about 1814 and they moved to County Kilkenny where they both died in Listerlin Parish.

They had 5 children all of whom moved to North America. I am descended from their daughter Margaret Jane Rinehart (1860-1924).

Any advice about trying to learn more about Stephen Rinehart/Rynhart and Mary Miller would be most appreciated.
