Do you know of Miranda ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Miranda. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Miranda.<1>

Our sources for Miranda (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Miranda other than they indicate that Miranda would be found somewhere in Nicholas County, Kentucky.
