When she learned her father was going to marry again she thought it might be better to beat his to it, so she and Sam married in October of 1844. When travelling to Oregon with Samuel and their 3 small children Mary was ill much of the time.
"Her greatest desire in coming to Oregon was to get rich, but when her husband decided to become a minister she knew that her hopes would take wings and fly away." One of her favorite sayings was, "It is no disgrace to wear patches but it is a disgrace to be dirty."
In her spare time she spun yarn, made men's clothes and buckskin gloves and was never too busy to attend to the sick in the neighborhood. In 1911 she rode in her first automobile, a Studebaker. (History of the Samuel T. Miller Clan)
