Hibernia Hughes Letter to Sarah Miller 1/23/1833:
I presume you have heard of the death of cousin Jane PRICE, Cousin Stephen
MILLER, and Cousin Robert. They all died since I came home, Cousin Jane died
with twelve hours sickness, and left two little children and Mr. PRICE has
taken them to his fathers, and Mother has taken Uncle Joseph's two little
daughters, Rebecca, and Zilpah , and it's thought that Cousin Stephen died
with the cholera, on his way from New Orleans home,
------------------------------------
Zilpah McGinty to Susan Miller, 18 June 1843:
"The friends and relations are all very well in this section at present,
mothers health has been very good for two or three months past, much better
than it was during the winter. Phillip [fn 109] appears to be entirely
recovering from that strange afflication of his head, he and Eliza were over
at Cousin James and Ebenezers [fn 110] a short time since, they were all very
well, Cousin James has two children and is talking of sending the oldest one
over to the female Academy at Fayette, but I expect it is all talk for a year
or two any how, Cousin Stephens two daughters have just got home from school.
Eliza says they are splendid looking girls and the oldest quite accomplished,
but she is a Campbellite. Cousin Eb has but one child, I think his wife a very
fine woman indeed, they are to be over the first July to stay a month or two
here and in Copiah." [It would appear that Stephen's two daughters were with
their uncles during this period, and may be the two Miller females named as
heirs of Jane Williams (although they would not be 'neices and nephews.']
