I believe this myth was created because William grew up in a household and community of German immigrants and he probably learned German language and culture which caused his descendants to mistakenly believe William was German. Sophia also stated that Amelia's maiden name was "Mueller" which seems to be the German spelling of "Miller." 1860 census and slave schedule for Robert Miller--identified as the father of Amelia Taggart (aka Miller) McKay Robert Miller 1860 Slave Schedule
