General Notes: Husband - Jacob Miller

Huntingdon, Huntingdon Co, PA

He was first lieutenant of the Huntingdon Light Infantry, which tendered its services to the President in the War of 1812, and which left Huntingdon September 7, 1812, and marched to Buffalo, New York, reaching there on the 2d of October. In 1845, he was elected register, recorder of deeds, and clerk of the Orphans' Court; he was a very fine penman. For many years he kept a store in Huntingdon.

The day of his funeral was one of excitement in Huntingdon, as it was reported that the Confederate troops were in Fulton County, and were on their way to Huntingdon; the people were busy secreting their valuables in wells, cisterns and gardens.
