General Notes: Husband - William Miller

---

He and his wife were both born in Scotland, where he was a farmer. With the children who were then born to them, they came to America, and settled in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where Mr. Miller for a nominal sum bought a level tract of wilderness, comprising about three hundred acres. Finding a spring with a plentiful supply of clear, cold water, he commenced his clearing there, and near-by erected his log house of a very comfortable size, in which he ever afterward lived. He was a very hard worker, but found time to lavish a wealth of affection on his beloved wife, and their sturdy children, for he possessed a happy, loving nature, and his lavish generosity became well-known among his neighbors, and was often the subject of comment. He cleared most of the farm, and took a prominent place in the community as a progressive and wide-awake man. The farm remained his home till released from earthly toil and trouble, being seventy-eight years old at his decease. He served in the War of 1812, was justice of the peace many years and contributed in other ways to the stability and prosperity of the government.

Besides the children listed, there were several more children born to them, but they died young.
