General Notes: Husband - Gen. Henry Miller

---

From Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, he gained noteriety in the Revolutionary War; he afterward commanded the United States troops at Baltimore during the War of 1812.

As Major of the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment, and Lieutenant-Colonel of the 2d Pennsylvania Regiment, he took an active part in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Head of the Elk, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, etc. On June 1, 1775, Miller, as first lieutenant of a Rifle Company, under Capt. Michael Doudel, commenced the march from York, Pennsylvania, to Cambridge, Massachusetts, this company being the first that arrived in Massachusetts from any place south of Long Island, or west of the Hudson. The company was attached to Col. Thomson's Rifle Regiment, which received the first commission issued by Congress, and took rank of every other regiment. Capt. Doudel's health becoming impaired, he resigned, and Miller was appointed to the command of the company.
Gen. Wilkinson, in his Memoirs says, "that Major Miller, of Hand's Riflemen, was ordered by Gen. Washington to check the rapid movements of the enemy in pursuit of the American army while retreating across the State of New Jersey. The order was so successfully executed, and the advance of a powerful enemy so embarrassed, that the American troops, which afterward gained the independence of their country, were preserved from an overthrow, which would have proved the grave of our liberties."
After the Revolution, Col. Miller was Quartermaster-General during the Whiskey Insurrection in 1794. At the breaking out of the War of 1812, he was appointed Brigadier-General of the United States Militia, stationed at Baltimore, and charged with the defence of Fort McHenry and its dependencies.
He was a member of the Order of the Cincinnati, and possessed the entire condence of Gen. Washington.
