Janetta Wilson, a daughter of James and Deborah [née Patterson] Wilson, was born on October 25th 1810 in Augusta County, Virginia. At the age of three, Janetta's family moved to the county of Rockbridge, near Natural Bridge. Next door on the neighboring farm, Janetta met her future husband, Samuel Miller.

Janetta and Samuel married on the 4th of September 1834. The following ten children were born to this union:
James Lackey (died in infancy)
John F. (1835-1899)
Isabella Patterson (1837-1864)
