Miller and Shaw Families of Alabama and Texas

Updated July 20, 2009

About Our Family Research


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.
