General Notes: Husband - Samuel Milroy

---

He was left an orphan, by the death of his father, when he was eleven years of age. He was apprenticed to the carpenter trade, and continued in that business most of the time until his second marriage, in Kentucky, in 1810. In 1814 he removed from Kentucky to Indiana Territory, and settled in Washington County. He was a member of the first Convention to form a Constitution for Indiana, in 1816; was a member of the State Legislature many years, and Speaker of the House of Representatives a part of that time. He was Brigadier General of the State and Register of the United States Land Office, at Crawfordsville, Indiana, from 1828 to 1830; was Examiner of the U. S. Land Office of Illinois and U. S. Indian Agent for the Miami and Potawotamie Indians at the date of his death, aged sixty-four years.
He had removed from Washington County to Carrol County, on the Wabash, in 1826. There he settled on a farm, and continued in the occupation of a farmer and of running a grist-mill, when not engaged in public duties.

His son died suddenly of erysipelas, he also caught the disease and died ten days later.
