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.

General Notes: Wife - Frances Alexander

---

She was born in Sherman's Valley, Pennsylvania. When a child of six years old she was brought by her parents, along with two younger brothers, Hugh and Samuel, to Little Valley, where she was brought up. She married and lived with her husband for a few years on a farm near to Bellefonte, which included the "Big Spring" which supplies that town with water. Becoming ill there, she rode on horseback twenty miles in company with her husband, hoping that a trip home to see her parents would improve her health. At first the effect seemed to justify the hope; but after her husband had returned to his farm, expecting to come again in a few days and find her better or quite well, she was taken suddenly worse, and died.
