ETTER FAMILY:


I find this family mixed into other Miller County families quite a bit. They were an influence in their own right, helping create Miller Co. The first one seems to be Samuel Etter. Sam and his wife were in their 60s according to the 1840 census. Daniel and John Etter were also here with their families. Let's see if we can tie them all together with census and marriage records. Samuel does not show up in the 1850 census, but I believe the Susannah Etter, that is living with William Etter, is his wife.
