18310822FMS_WHS1 (rew)

He also seems to appear in the 1830s letters quite a bit. He is often mentioned with a "Mrs M. Miller" and "Martha." For example, "Mrs Miller is in deep trouble about Isaac's going to the Legislation this winter. Martha seems rather pleased. Jane says Maria would not be willing to have Martha to feel as bad as she does." (From 18371201FMS_LMW1v1).Martha is his wife, perhaps "Mrs Miller" is his mother, while "Mrs M. Miller" refers to Martha. In 1846 Isaac and Martha moved to Detroit, Michigan to work with their son, George, on a tobacco farm. See 1850 census in Detroit Michigan - lists Isaac S. Miller and Martha H. Miller.
