Hi Nan,

Looks like a match! Isaac Miller and Ann Shears are my Great Great Grandparents. Their children were Francis (Frank) M. Miller (M. Miza McKay) and that's the only one I know of positively.

The 1850 census has a daughter Cimantha A. Miller listed but I haven't been able to find anything more on her. A fellow McKay researcher said she has an Alfred Miller listed in the family bible as dying in 1936 with nothing noted as to relationship.

The 1850 Census also shows the Shears/Shars, Cyrus Pringle and the Millers all living in a group. Isaac was also a witness for Lucinda Shears marriage.

I'm afraid you know much more than I do about the Shears/Shars.

Ruth
