Chapter IV 

"Samuel Miller, who had married Margaret Lackey, provided a good home for almost twenty years for his mother Rebecca (Boggs) Miller, who was a widow.  When she died in 1816, he laid her tenderly by the side of her husband to the good earth they both had loved, the land they had wrestled from the virgin state.'

'To Samuel Miller and his wife were born 13 children, 6 girls and 7 boys.  Their home was known far and wide as a place of true hospitality and an expression of highest Christian living.  Uncle Sam and Aunt Pegg as the Millers were known widely, were greatly beloved and highly esteemed by everyone.  On September 05, 1834, their son Samuel Jr., married Janetta Wilson.  In the course of the years, the young people bought the old home farm and made a place at the fireside for the aged parents of Miller."

Clemetine Railey cites "family records of Samuel Millers’ "passed down to his son, J. W. Miller, and J.W.'s recollections of conversation with his father as her sources. She states that in his youth Samuel Miller took a pledge of abstinence from alcohol and "stayed by it, altho’ there were six distilleries in operation within two and one-half miles of his home."
