William & Amanda Jane Miller were married in Collin Co, TX by G.S. Wilson, Justice of the Peace.
They were living in Collin Co, TX when Amanda gave birth to three children. Sadly all perished. Their first baby was born & died on July 6, 1887; their second one, a son, was born on Sept. 30, 1889, & died Nov. 13, 1891; the third was born & died on June 13, 1892. All were buried in Grounds Cemetery located in Blueridge. William & Amanda's names were shown as T.W. & A.J. White on their tombstones.

On April 16, 1893, ten months after losing their last child, they were in Farmersville, Collin Co, TX when Amanda gave birth to a healthy son, Oscar Freeman. She died in 1893, possibly during his birth.
