"Northwest toward Hatchett, from an early date several families of
Millers owned farms, and these are still owned by their posterity.  Near
them was Mr. John Jacks, whose sons, Isaac and Sam, were a long time
after him still in the county. Somewhat in the same section, but lower
down the creek were the Hardegrees, Parishes, Williams Chancellor, and
Wm. Bridges.(1)

The above are Isaac's siblings. They are in a household next to the
household of Isaac's father, John, and his step-mother Edith.  John and
Edith are in household number 16.  The siblings are most likely living in
a house near their father and step-mother on their father's land.  A
conjecture on my part is that Isaac and his siblings may feel
uncomfortable living in the same house of their father and his new bride
because their biological mother has died just a few months before John
and Edith married. By Ron Bridges on 28 Jan 2000.
