Stephen and Joseph married sisters, their names were Sassers." Hibernia Hughes Letter to Sarah Miller 1/23/1833: I presume you have heard of the death of cousin Jane Price, Cousin Stephen Miller, and Cousin Robert. They all died since I came home, Cousin Jane died with twelve hours sickness, and left two little children and Mr. Price has taken them to his fathers, and Mother has taken Uncle Joseph's two little daughters, Rebecca, and Zilpah , and it's thought that Cousin Stephen died with the cholera, on his way from New Orleans home, Zilpah McGinty to Susan Miller, 18 June 1843: "The friends and relations are all very well in this section at present, mothers health has been very good for two or three months past, much better than it was during the winter. Phillip109 appears to be entirely recovering from that strange afflication of his head, he and Eliza were over at Cousin James and Ebenezers110 a short time since, they were all very well, Cousin James has two children and is talking of sending the oldest one over to the female Academy at Fayette, but I expect it is all talk for a year or two any how, Cousin Stephens two daughters have just got home from school. Eliza says they are splendid looking girls and the oldest quite accomplished, but she is a Campbellite. Cousin Eb has but one child, I think his wife a very fine woman indeed, they are to be over the first July to stay a month or two here and in Copiah."
