Miller and Shaw Families of Alabama and Texas
Updated July 20, 2009

Joshua Edward Miller married Nancy Barnes 11 June 1859 in Bibb County, AL. They had 12 children: James (T. or Buchanan); Sennie (Melcenia Loretta) who married Phillip Jackson Ellis; Callie (Caledonia Ellen) who married James Luke Shaw and stayed in Alabama; Pauline (Polly or Mollie) who married 1) Gideon Shaw, James' brother, 2) unknown Talley and also stayed in Alabama; Rosanna (Rosie), who married James Williams; Robert W., who married Jennie Taylor, and had 4 sons: Emmitt, Alfred, Herman or Cecil, and Fred; Cora Adella, who married John Baucom; Nancy; Jane; Ida, who married 1) Frank Eudaly, 2) Archie Jordan; John Pulaski; and Jacob Jackson (Jake). Nancy and Jane were unknown to Roy Miller, so I suspect they may have died in childhood or remained with their sisters in Alabama.
I hope to, over the course of the next several months, upload these photos in the hopes that they might be found by someone searching for them.
