Isaac Roman Miller


Isaac was born 1800 to William Miller and Catherine Roman, Jessamine County Kentucky tax records include William Miller prior
to his appearance in records of Fayette County, Kentucky where, in 1805, Catherine was the administrator of his estate. Jessamine
County has John B. Miller as a neighbor to William Miller and Fayette County has John as a bondsman for the estate.  Catherine was
the daughter of Isaac Roman. Researchers of Roman family incorrectly include a marriage of Catherine Miller to Richard Marsh
27 January 1808.  The marriage records show the bondsman as Mr. Usher. The Fayette County history biography for Joseph Milward
tells that his grandmother married Mr. Usher, and that his mother married a Mr. Marsh. We should conclude that Richard Marsh
was not Isaac R. Miller's stepfather.

Catherine Miller married Andrew Stanton 10 July 1811, Jessamine County, Kentucky. Marriage records in Jessamine County show
that children of William and Catherine were Isaac R., Rachel, Hannah, Polly and Elizabeth. Andrew Stanton consented to the marriage
of Polly Miller to Wm. Reynolds, 31 January 1822; to the marriage of Elizabeth Miller to Bartlett Searcy, 11 December 1827 and to
the marriage of Rachel Miller to David Hall, 5 August 1828. William Reynolds was bondsman for Rachel and Isaac Miller was
bondsman for Polly. Isaac married Sarah Hall, David Hall's sister.

Isaac R. Miller married Sarah Hall, 5 August 1822, Henry County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Squire Hall and Joanna Roberts.
Sarah had a long illness and died 15 August 1849, age 46. Her obituary in the Lexington Observer said she was the "consort" of
Mr. Isaac R. Miller of this city.

Isaac R. Miller and Louise Gallahue were married in Franklin County, Kentucky 25 July 1850. (Marriage bond was July 23, 1850).
Louise was the daughter of Charles Gallahue and Mary Jane Ashmore.  Isaac was near his new inlaws during the 1850, 1860 and 1870
census. (They were in Franklin, Scott and then Franklin Counties). When he lived in Lexington, he had been in business with Samuel
Redd, making bags. In the 1870 census he is shown as a retired grocery man.

Isaac R. Miller is buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. A book of tombstone recordings shows dates: 27 November 1800 - 1 April 1979.
The recording, from the old stone, shows Isaac B., but the dates fit the census records, which show him ate 68 in 1870 and
Louisa as a widow in 1880, Forks of Elkhorn census. The Frankfort Cemetery sextant had little information on Isaac except that he
was from the Forks of Elkhorn community.
