Biography

This is one of my brick wall lines.

Mary Ann Miller's parents are unknown. However, we do know that Mary Ann Miller had one known sister named Sarah Jane "Sally" (Miller) Huckaby. Sarah aka Sally stated in her Huckaby husbands widow pension that her name was Miller before her marriage to Thomas Huckaby. Some researchers have her maiden name as Bewley. This is incorrect.

Mary Ann Miller-Pitts made a statement once that she had a sister named Sarah "Sallie" Huckaby. Mary Ann Miller was born 27 Sep 1822 in KY. Sarah Jane "Sally" was born abt 1825 in KY. ^[1]
