Frederick Walker Miller, son of Ann (Rogers) and Frederick P. Miller, both born in NJ, married Belinda Colby, daughter of Anna Clark (1770,RI-1866, NY)and Dr. Zaccheus Colby (1775, MA-1816, NY) before 1833 in Greece, Monroe County, NY. Frederick and Belinda had ten children, seven raised to adulthood, all accounted for on this Memorial except Belinda Sophia (1840, MI-1915, IL), who married Ira Coe (1837, OH-1899, IL), son of Linda (Hamlin) and William D. Coe, June 21, 1866, in Mason Township, Cass County,MI
(From "Early Marriages 1859-1873 Cass County, Michigan" Vol. 2, compiled by Nancy Corwin). Belinda and Ira spent their married life in Quincy, IL., and are buried in Woodland Cemetery, Quincy, Adams Cty., Illinois.
Frederick Walker's home once stood on the south side of US 12, east of Five Points Cemetery, one of the first two brick homes built in Mason Township (1849). A complex of barns is on the opposite side of the road, and east of them is the brick home built by Frederick's brother, John J. Miller, and wife Elizabeth B.(Hanford)Miller. Unfortunately, this elegant home suffered neglect in recent years and has now been demolished, probably sometime in 2015 or 2016. John and Elizabeth had no children when they both died within three days of each other in 1874, and only one of the Miller siblings, George S. Miller, was still alive, so it was necessary to make a list of heirs for the Cass County Probate Court which accounted for all the Miller children (in other words, "the Miller cousins"). This useful list is part of a large probate file held by the Probate Court in Cassopolis, MI.
Frederick Walker probably could be considered the leader of the Miller Settlement in Mason Township after the death of his older brother, Samuel S., in Elkhart County, IN, in 1839. The Millers led independent lives yet remained close to each other, just as they had been directed to do by their father, Frederick P. Miller, in his Monroe County, NY, Will of 1832, "for their mutual aid and benefit".
