Need parents of Mary A. Ralston b. 1828 IL, d.1895, m. Joseph S. Miller 1848

Looking for parents of Mary A. Ralston, b. 18 June 1828 IL, m. 31 Dec 1848 to Joseph S. Miller believed in IA, d. 22 Feb 1895. Both her parents were from KY.

Mary & Joseph's married life and children are well documented in 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses, living in IA.

Family lore has Mary related to Zerelda Cole (mother of Jesse & Frank James, outlaws), but I cannot see the connection. Frank married Annie Ralston and that may be the origin of the story.

All help appreciated.
