Many vital dates are seen for Isaac Miller. The Libery Baptist Church Cemetery transcription done in 1984, lists 1768-1870, age 102 years; with his wife Mary buried next to him as 1789-1876, age 87 years. Many family records record 1784 or 1785 as his birth year. I will use 1768 as his birth year as it is given on his grave marker, although it certainly needs to be verified.

Isaac married Mary (went by Polly) Fine, some records list her as Mary Fine Alexander, was she first married to a Mr. Alexander? Vital dates for her are also seen all over the map. Some records show they married 04 Aug 1821 at Madison County, Virginia.
