Notes:

Stephen Ivan Miller, Sr. was born in 1838 son of Stephen L. Miller 1811-1864 and Mary Miller 1814-1874.
 Stephen was probably born on the family farm in Section 18, which was purchased in 1836. He helped his father on the farm until his marriage to Betsy Rebecca Hosley in 1864. They had two children Isabelle "Belle" Miller and Stephen Ivan Miller, Jr.. The following was given to Martha Hosley Baird Musson (originator of this genealogy) by Emily Knoop Curdy, Vlney Curdy’s wife. Volney was Isabelle Miller’s son. "Grandpa and Grandma Miller left the farm a great many years ago. They bought land that is now downtown Pontiac, Grandpa ran a livery barn there." As related by Charles T. Curdy, Steph’s Great Grandson, "This livery barn was used as a delivery point of negroes in the Underground Railroad."
 "It was in Pontiac that he made a good bit of money when his land was plotted and sold. He and Betsy went to Pasadena, Calif. to live with their son, Stephen Ivan and his wife, Florence. Stephen, Jr. was at the time Dean of Leland Stanford University. Grandpa and Grandma came back to Michigan and rented a house in the southwestern part of Howell, Michigan. Then they moved to West Washington St. They lived there until their deaths in 1918 and 1923. Both are buried in the Van Kuren Cemetery located on the corner of Curdy and Eager Roads.

Stephen married Betsy Rebecca HOSLEY. Betsy was born on 4 Sep 1843 in Livingston, Michigan; died in 1918 in Howell, Livingston, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
