Joseph B. "Joe" Millard was the 12th child of thirteen of Joshua and Ann Manning Millard. The 1850 U. S. Census of St. Mary's county, showing him born in Washington, D.C., 23 years old, making his birth year 1810. He was probably baptized at St. Peter's Catholic Church in D.C.

On Sept 8th, 1846, Sister Mary Eugenia Millard of the Visitation Convent in Baltimore writes a long letter to her brother and also Joe's brother to Robert F. Millard in Nacogdoches, Tx. She tells RFM that "Joe is in Baltimore here, pursuing the last course of lectures and hope to finish next month with the title of "Doctors"." In the 1850 census, Joseph is with family in St. Mary's County and is shown as being "blind". I can't help if this could have happened in a chemistry class in that last month, Oct. 1846, of his lectures in Baltimore.

The 1860 and 1870 census continue to show him in St. Mary's with family. He does not appear in the 1880 census and without any specific death record, he died sometime between 1870 and 1880 in St. Mary's County.

The Old St. Aloysious Catholic Cemetery is where his mother was buried in 1866 and where other family members were buried so I am going to presume that Joseph was buried there close by his mother's grave. If a marker was placed there, it has not survived the ravages of time and Mother Nature.
