Isaac Aber MYLES married, on 30 Nov. 1841, Samantha CLOWER b. 22 April 1811, Freestone Co. TX or LA to John CLOWER Jr. and Mary “Polly” PLEASANT.
Isaac Abner MYLES was first married to Pamela (Passman) (Carman) HART b. 9 Nov 1796, died 6 Sept 1840 at 4 AM. In LOUISIANA GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY, BE IT KNOWN AND REMEMBERED Volume Two Bible Records 1961: Pages 1 – 60 Bible of Samanthy Lewis, a Pamela HART is given as born November 8 1796. Isaac A. MYLES was married to Pemela PASSMAN on December 18th. Mrs. Pamela MYLES departed this life on September 6th 1840 about 43 years 9 months and 28 days. I’m assuming that Pamela HART and PASSMAN are the same individual.
It then gives Isaac as marrying Samantha BICKHAM on November 30th 1841.
Samantha was first married in 1829 to John BURCH Sr., who died between 1832 and 1836. Their children were Mary Drusilla R. BURCH b. 1829 and John Richard BURCH Jr. b. 1832.
Samantha married 2nd Thomas BICKHAM, bef. 1841, son of Captain Abner BICKHAM and Dicy. Their children were Dicy Elizabeth BICKHAM b. 1832 and Abner Clower BICKHAM b. 1836.
The children of the 3rd marriage, to Isaac Aber MYLES were:
- John William Edward MYLES b. 17 March 1844, married Sarena MILLER
- Mary Rebecca MYLES b. 23 November 1846 4:45 AM, married, 1 Jan 1862, Charles (Charley) Jefferson BURCH b. 7 May 1843. Charles Jefferson BURCH was a son of Charles BURCH, born 1804, married Lothe. This Charles BURCH was brother of John BURCH Sr. who was Samantha BICKHAM CLOWER’s first husband.
Samantha’s 4th marriage was to Coleman HOLMES. They married before 1860 and he died before 1860.
Samantha’s 5th marriage, 5 July 1860, was to William LEWIS. They had no children.
