Israel Miles Yeager married Mary Tedders on 10 Nov 1859. They had 8 children: David (born 1861), Jeremiah (1863-1940), John (b. 1867-68), Samuel (b. 1871), Annie (1875-1935), Elizabeth (1876-1964), James Monroe (1879-1952), and Charles Morgan (1880-1962). However, note that the 1860 Bibb County, Alabama census shows Miles, age 32, as head of his own household with [wife] Mary, age 16, and a boy named Marion Yeager, age 11 (Dwelling #354, Family #346). Marion is not on any later censuses in Miles' household.

Obituary 11-03-1906, Montgomery, Alabama, Advertiser:
"Centreville, Nov. 2 - (Special.) - Thursday night at his home about six miles west of Centreville, Miles Yeager died. He was eighty-one years old, and left a large family of sons and daughters and grandchildren. For many years he was prominent in the affairs of Bibb County and his descendants are among the very best citizens of this section. His remains were buried at Bethel cemetery."
--Note that he is buried in the Yeager Family Cemetery, according to its original handmade gravestones, which were "rolled down the hill" by someone who "grew tired of mowing around them." / EYJ
