On page 21 of the second edition of Danny's The Miller Families of Ashe County, Danny lists four children of Wells Miller and first wife Matilda Phipps (or Duncan), then lists two children of Wells and second wife
Martha Cazort. Then at the bottom of that data, he lists:
* Child of Wells Miller and Martha Blevins (Ham)
* Agnes Miller (no dates), married Amborse Clark #48 herein (see there for continuation)
Then at page 31 #48, he writes:
* Amborse Clark was born 30 September 1862 and died 15 March 1938. He married Agnes Miller, daughter of Wells Miller and Martha Blevins (out of wedlock). Agnes's mother Martha Blevins, married a Mr. Ham. She was the daughter of Riley Blevins, and she had sisters Betty who married Nelson Ham and Mallie.....Danny then lists 10 children of Amborse and Agnes as well as indicating that Amborse also had a son Charlie Tucker by Martha Tucker.
given the available evidence that Martha Blevins was married to Marion Ham at least a year prior to the birth of Agnes, I suspect that Agnes really was the daughter of Martha and Marion
On the other hand in the 1920 census Dora Cordelia Miller daughter of Wells Miller and Matilda Phipps is listed in the HH of Ambrose Clark and Agnes his wife with her boys and the children are all marked as Nephews.
That could mean that Agnes and Dora are in Fact really Sisters.
I suspect only DNA will solve this mystery.
