Mary Miller Deeds was the eldest child of Jacob and Mary Miller. Very little is known of Polly Deeds. The well-bred girl of Teutonic parentage in that remote day distinguished herself by complete retirement. The name Deeds as well as the name Andrew is Scotch or Scotch-Irish. While he was not alone in America, it was he who made history and acquired financial stability. The Deedses who are buried in the cemetery of the United Brethren Churchyard are all his descendants or forbears. His extensive holdings which adjoined the Millers were intact until recently. He figures on intimate terms with his father-in-law's family and though his revolutionary record deals chiefly with subsistence for the army, he served in impromptu posses. There are numerous instances in contemporaneous history in which he led forces assembled to protect settlers who were attacked or to pursue the enemy in the region.
Their children were Adam, b. 1790, who married Mary Ann Hootman;
Jacob, whose wife was named Ann: John, Isaac, Catherine and Mary.
Polly lived to be 82. She is buried beside Andrew in the Zion Evangelical United Brethren churchyard near West Alexander.
