About Rice Milner and Sarah Oder.
Rice Milner is named as Eliza Ann Milner's father on her marriage record.
I have no documentation for their birth dates, but several family trees on Ancestry agree on those dates.
The same group of family trees agree that Eliza's mother was Sarah Oder. The same trees list three children for Rice and Sarah, but do not include Eliza.
I have found documentation to confirm Rice and Sarah are the parents of Lucinda, but have not found any documentation to link James or William to them.
The three children listed on many Ancestry family trees.
1. James Milton Milender, b.1816
m. 8 Nov 1844 to Cynthia Ann Hoskins in Vermilion Co., IL
2. Lucinda Milender
b. Sep 1818
d.24 Dec 1904
