MILLER I BY: LEONARDO ANDREA For: Mrs. W.O. Hearn # 2 MILLER I have noted the name of MILLER in the South Carolina archives spelled as Millar, Mulher and as Meller. In this work I have checked all the spellings so far. This work is from the records on file in the Columbia Archives. The work can be supplemented by work in the various county seats in S.C. where the administrations, deeds and Court of Equity records are on file, and often in the papers attached in the file with the original will, are receipts from the heirs and much data which will throw much further light on the problem than the will itself. 1. Colonial Counties in S.C. were four and the largest of these was Craven County which began at the north bank of the Santee River at its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean and then followed the north bank of the Santee to where Columbia now is and from Columbia on a line about midway thru the present counties of Newberry and Laurens to Greenville County where it borders on the Atlantic Ocean and down that ocean to the mouth of the Santee. The second county was Berkeley and began with the present county of Charleston and followed the south bank of the Santee river to Columbia and then along the west side of Craven to N.C. and from N.C. it took in the present counties of Oconee and Pickens and down the Saluda River to what is now Saluda County and thence along west side of Lexington and Orburg and Dorchester to the Ocean on south side of present Charleston. The third county was Colleton and was a small county in the form of an angle and began with the present county of Colleton and took in parts of Bamberg and Aiken and ended in Saluda near the present county of Greenwood. The fourth county was Granville and began with the present counties of Jasper and Beaufort and followed the east bank of the Savannah River to what is now Oconee County and then along west side of Berkeley to old Colleton and then back to the Atlantic. In the upper part of the state in the early days the county lines were not clearly defined and often a land grant named for one county was actually in another. 2. MILLER land grants before the Revolution (few books missing) and in the office of the Secretary of State. I took all indexed but some few grants may be found in the missing books and not in the index. From 1740/45 to 1775-Land was given by the number in a family. A married man with no children or a single man could take 100 acres and then an additional 50 acres for each child under age of 16/18. A single woman could take 100 acres A widow could take 100 acres and then 50 acres additional for each child under age of 16/18. Often a child got only 50 acres himself when over the age of 16/18. No married woman living with her husband could take a grant. Often a man took what was allowed and later on when other children were born he took a second grant. SOMETIMES a man was given lands in payment for some service he had rendered the crown and hence the law from 1740 to 1775 was not exactly every time allowed to the man by the size of his family. This must be taken into consideration when you study the grants that a man took lands in payment for services of some sort. This however will be easily seen when studied. A good idea is to take a pad and pencil and jot down on each page all names in the same local and dates about the same, for often you can pretty well judge the families who came together. Likely when several of the same name are in the same place and dates not far apart, these will be father and children. 3.

MILLER LAND GRANTS FROM INDEX I CONTINUED BEFORE REVOLUTION ROBERT 100 acres in Craven on Rocky Creek 14 OCT 1774 (this could be "your" Robert but he was then but aged 14 and not likely) ROBERT 479 acres on Ashley River in Berkeley 11 DEC 1717 This is the first ROBERT MILLER in S.C. I have noted...Land law not in effect. ROBERT 50 acres on Tyger River Craven 15 MAY 1771 (Union or Spartanburg) ROBERT 50 acres on Long Canes in Granville 4 MAY 1775 (Abbeville) ROBERT 150 acres on Rocky River in Craven 6 FEB 1773 (wife & 1 child) ROBERT 100 acres on Norris Creek in Granville ROBERT 300 acres on Long Canes in Granville 4 MAY 1775 (likely Rev. ROBERT who wed the Pickens) Had wife and 4 children with him under 16. ROBERT 800 acres north Fork of Tyger River 30 MAY 1763 (Spartanburg) ROSE 100 acres north side of Santee in Craven 6 FEB 1773 (think Chester) SAMUEL 100 acres north side of Santee River in Crave 23 JUN 1774 SAMUEL 400 acres in Berkeley 30 SEP 1736 (seems Orangeburg) SAMUEL 500 acres in Berkeley 2 AUG 1708 *One of earliest MILLERs. SAMUEL 200 acres in Berkeley 2 AUG 1736 (land law not in force in 1736) STEPHEN 300 acres on Lawson Creek of Pacolet River 25 NOV 1774 (Spartanburg) STEPHEN 500 acres at Head of Island Creek 26 SEP 1772 STEPHEN 1000 & 100 acres on Pee Dee River 30 SEP 1736 (likely Marion) STEPHEN 400 acres on Sasney Creek 26 SEP 1772 (likely Kershaw) STEPHEN 1500 acres in five grants in Craven 26 SEP 1772 (likely pay for some service rendered the Royal Crown) STEPHEN with James Henderson 250 acres 5 MAY 1773 and location not given THOMAS 100 acres on Gill Creek of Santee 17 MAR 1775 (perhaps Richland) WILLIAM SR. 150 acres & 200 acres between Gill Cr. & Rocky Cr. Craven 17 MAR 1775 WILLIAM JR. 100 acres and same location as WILLIAM SR. 17 MAR 1775 WILLIAM 1000 acres on Tyger River 25 MAR 1774 WILLIAM 300 acres in Orangeburg Township 3 APR 1775 WILLIAM 200 acres on Pee Dee River 5 FEB 1775 WILLIAM 500 acres on MILLER SWAMP of Savannah River 3 APR 1775 WILLIAM 150 acres at Hanging Rock 19 AUG 1774 (Lancaster Co.)

Note the early MILLERs are all down Charleston-Orangeburg way. Some of these may be the ancestors of the up country MILLERs for the up country was not settled until about 1750 to 1760 and many came from down state to settle up state as soon as the Indians were ejected. 5. MILLER LAND MEMORIALS: The British Crown levied a tax on all lands which had been granted whether by an original grant or whether the grant had been bought from the original man who took the grant. These returns had to be made in Charleston and in most instances some neighbors would go to Charleston and make the returns for many people as you will note. The number after each name denotes how many by that name made tax Memorial returns under the name MILLER: ABRAHAM 1 ALEXANDER 3 ANDREW 2 ANNA 1 # 4 MILLER 5. Memorial Tax returns made by MILLER cont.. ANTHONY 1 ARCHIBALD 1 CATHERINE 1 CHARLES 4 CHRISTOPHER 1 DAVID 3 DANIEL 1 EMANUEL 3 GEORGE 4 (1 Anson) HENRY 5 ISAAC 1 JACOB 3 JAMES 2 JANNET 2 JOHN 11 (1 Anson) JOHN MARTIN 4 JOSEPH 1 MARGARET 1 MARTIN 1 MARY 1 MICHALE 3 MOSES 1 NATHAN 1 PAUL 1 RICHARD 2 ROBERT 6 (1 Anson N.C.) ROSE 1 SAMUEL 2 SAMUEL with JOHN THOMAS 1 STEPHEN 5 THAMES 1 WILLIAM (illegible) WILLIAM JR. 1 ELIZABETH MILLERIN 1 GEORGE PETER MULLER 1 MARGARETTA MULLER 1 Compare with the land grants and with names which had no grants as they show up. These may be from the unindexed land grant books or of Millers who bought the grants of other people. Note the Millerin which the German set of Millers and all Germans used a feminine form when their women had grants. Note that some were in Anson which shows the grant was from N.C. but after the line was run the grant was found to be in S.C.. I abstracted a few of the MEMORIAL Returns under Miller The first number is the Memorial Book and the second number is the page in book. 6. ROBERT MILLER 12-213 a memorial for 800 acres and when granted was supposed to have been in Anson Co., N.C. but later found in S.C. and on the north side of Lawson Creek, a branch of the Pacolet River. (Spartanburg Co. now near Union line) and the original grant was made by the Hon. Nathaniel Rice, President of the N.C. Council and was made 18 NOV 1752 and all sides vacant and with trees marked RM around the 800 acres.....Return made 2 JUN 1773 by David Anderson and ROBERT MILLER. 7. ROBERT MILLER 12-322 a memorial for 150 acres in Craven County and on the waters of Rocky River and bounded by lands of Robert Walker, John McKeown and by lands laid out for Agnes Henry and said lands surveyed by William Carson 11 JAN 1773 and granted 6 FEB 1773.....Return made 3 MAY 1774 by Alexander Turner. 8. MARY MILLER 12-322 memorial for 100 acres in Craven and on Rocky River with all sides vacant land and surveyed by Alexander Turner 11 JAN 1773 and grant made 6 FEB 1773 .....Return made by Alexander Turner 3 MAY 1774. 9. ROSE MILLER 12-223 a memorial for 100 acres land in Craven on back waters of the Wateree River and by lands of ALEXANDER MILLER and vacant lands. Surveyed 11 JAN 1773 by Alexander Turner and granted 6 FEB 1774 and the return made 3 MAY 1774 in Charleston by Alexander Turner. 10. ALEXANDER MILLER 12-223 a memorial for 200 acres land (wife & 2 children) in Craven on Stover Creek a branch of Rocky River and all sides vacant. Surveyed by Alexander Turner 11 JAN 1773 and granted 6 FEB 1773.....The return made 3 MAR 1774 by John Smith in Charleston (All made in Charleston) 11. JOSIAH MILLER 12-223 a memorial for 400 acres land (wife and 4 children) for lands in Craven County on Rocky River and bounded by lands of Joseph Mills and vacant lands and surveyed 11 JAN 1773 by Alexander Turner and granted 6 FEB 1773.....Return made by Alexander Turner 3 MAY 1774. NOTE: This JOSIAH MILLER may have been the father of 'your' ROBERT, for 'your' ROBERT named a son, JOSIAH MILLER 'as you will see'. ALSO NOTE: that in #3 there was an earlier JOSIAH MILLER in that area in 1759 (I see now that in copying the Memorials I did not check on the JOSIAH MILLERs) 12. MARGARET MILLER 12-223 memorial for 100 acres in Crave on Rocky Creek and by vacant lands and lands of Arthur Scott & Andrew Harmon and surveyed 11 JAN 1773 by Alexander Turner and granted 6 FEB 1773.....Return made by John Smith 3 MAR 1774. 13.

It seems that the MILLER family was numerous in this state. Andrea. 22. Pr. Frederick Episcopal Church Register - Craven Co. RICHARD MILLER was baptized Febry ye 28th 1724/25 ye infant son of SAMUEL MILLER and MARY MILLER, his wife. 22-a SAMUEL MILLER married 26 DEC 1743 to Helen Hughes 22-b. MOSES MILLER was elected as a Church Warden with John McDowell for the year 1760. He was a member of the Vestry 1763 22-c. 7th of JUN 1772 the Rev. WILLIAM MILLER was extended a call as rector of the Parish by the Vestry See #14 22-d. WILLIAM MILLER signed a petition to the Vestry 21 JAN 1778. This WILLIAM MILLER was a layman. END OF VESTRY BOOK See #18 BAPTISTS OF S.C. By Leah Townsend 23-a. Pg. 97 The Rev. Jeptha Vining was a minister at The First Church on Lynches Creek. He was born 15 FEB 1738 at Sutton in Boston. His first wife was AMY MILLER and by her he had: Mary Vining Thomas Vining Ann Vining Joshua Vining Abigail Vining Uriah Vining Mathew Vining The Rev. Jeptha Vining resided not far from Camden, S.C. and sometime before 1800 he removed to Georgia. 23-b. Pg. 167 A number of Dunkards came from Pennsylvania to Laurens Co., S.C. and formed Beaver Creek Church by 1748 as a German Dunkard Church which later became a Baptist Chruch. One of these men was MICHAEL MILLER who took 200 acres land on Beaverdam Cr. of Broad River. Hans Wagoner and his wife also came with the Dunkards. 23-c. Pg. 206 JEROME MILLAR with Joshua Wilburn and the pastor, The Rev. Richard wood were delegates in 1798 from the Pacolet River Baptist Church to the annual meeting of Bethel Association. 23-d. Pg. 154 The Rev. John Mitchell Roberts was pastor of the famous High Hill Baptist Church in Sumter County. He was married 31 OCT 1802 to MARTHA ANN GLOVER MILLER. The Rev. Mr. Roberts was born 30 JUN 1775. His father, John Roberts sent him to the Rhode Island College to be educated. END OF TOWNSEND 24. About one half the MILLERs in S.C. were of German origin. Of the remaining half, one-fourth were English, one-fourth Scotch and the rest Irish. There were one or two French families of Milere which became MILLER e.g. Rene Miller. A few of the Milner Family took the spellings of MILLER. Many of the German Families of MULLER/MUHLER became in English, plain MILLER. # 6 MILLER 28. MILLER names indexed for the Revolution in the S.C. Historical Commission. Many times there are several by same name. Often the name may not be for service but where supplies were furnished. Often the name appears only as a witness to a paper. Many of the names of the women are for witnesses, for furnishing supplies, OR as widows of men who served. MILLER names indexed for Revolution are: Andrew Alexander Ann Andrew Barbara Charles David Daniel Edward Elijah George Hans or Hance Henry Jacob James Jane Jean Javan John Fullerton Joseph Lazarus John Lydia Mary Matthew Michael Mordecia Moses Nathan Nathaniel Nehemiah Phillip Renee Robert Sampson Samuel Stephen Theodore Thomas William I did not open any of these files to study except that of ROBERT MILLER as you will note below and there were four (4) ROBERT MILLERs who served as you will note and all in File #5256. 29. ROBERT MILLER for service in the Virginia Troops and residing in Pendleton District. Awarded a U.S. Pension for this service 27 OCT 1818 aged 77. Date of 16 JUL 1821. "If you will write to your Senator or Congressman and ask for a Pension SUMMARY Sheet for this ROBERT MILLER and give data above, he will send it at no cost. Then send it to me for study. Often these summary sheets give valuable family history. 30. ROBERT MILLER for service in Col. Middleton's Regt. This ROBERT MILLER, since the paper was so torn, I was unable to determine in what part of S.C. he was from. I would judge from Orangeburg area for that is where most of Col. Middleton's men came from. This ROBERT signed his name with HIS X MARK. 31. ROBERT MILLER for service in Col. Brandon's Regt. I did not study this paper but he was from the Spartanburg-Union area. 32. ROBERT MILLER "and YOUR ROBERT" File #5256 in S.C. Historical Comm. There are many papers and all can be photostatted. I will take the papers in order as they come and abstract the main data: Pay Claim for ROBERT MILLER of Chester Dist. For 81 days under Capt. Turner in Regt. of Col. Winn and in 17780. For 48 days service under Col. Lacey in 1781. Also, for 125 days lost by a wound he received at the defeat of Ferguson. Claim was allowed and for 36 pounds 5 shillings and 8 1/2 pence. 31 MAR 1785 Lt. Hugh Stuart and Col. Edward Lacey signed statements that ROBERT MILLER served with them. Also, Col. Richard Will by Lt. John Huston sign statements that ROBERT MILLER was under Capt. Turner in Winn's Regt. S.C. passed a law which gave a state pension to all Revolutionary soldiers who were wounded. in DEC 1815 ROBERT MILLER applies for a pension. He writes a letter and signs it himself (Photostat will show his original signature) He stated in his letter that he served under Capt. Roebuck and under Col. Thomas at the Battle of Kings Mountain and was wounded there in the thigh. (Illegible) sign affidavit before J. Roseborough J.P. and dated 16 MAR 1816 that they knew ROBERT MILLER and that he was a soldier in the Revolution and that he was slightly wounded in the thigh. The state of S.C. pension was allowed and on file are receipts by ROBERT MILLER from the years 29 NOV 1816 to 1831 and with the receipts for some of the years missing. 11 NOV 1831 there is a set of papers on file by ROBERT H. MILLER and WILLIAM MILLER dated at Chester Dist. and sworn to before David Jamison J.P. that ROBERT H. MILLER & WILLIAM MILLER are executors of the Estate of ROBERT MILLER and that he died 12 AUG 1831. John White, Abraham White and James K. Knox all have statements saying they know for a certainty that ROBERT MILLER of Chester District died on the 12th day of AUG 1831. END OF FILE. 33. Purity Presbyterian Church is now located in Chester S.C. and was removed to the town from a location out in the country a few miles away, and I think on the Fishing Creek Road. In the DAR files in Columbia are tombstone inscriptions from the Old Purity Church burying ground and for the old Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church yard. I noted these and found these five (5) graves and all together and in the same row. The inscriptions are taken from the graves and located as they appear: ROBERT H. MILLER / BORN 16 MAR 1842 / DIED 15 MAR 1843 JENNET WHITE MILLER / DIED 22 FEB 1818 / AGED 53 YEARS hand (b.1765) ROBERT MILLER / DIED 12 AUG 1831 / AGED 71 YEARS hand (b.1760) JOSIAH MILLER / DIED 26 AUG 1826 / AGED 37 YEARS hand (b.1789) ELIZABETH MILLER / DIED 27 SEP 1824 / AGED 30 YEARS hand (b.1794) *My Comments (Andrea) It is likely that the child is a grandson and a son of ROBERT HINDMAN MILLER. JENNET is likely the wife of ROBERT JOSIAH MILLER and it is EVIDENT that she was JENNET WHITE before she married. JOSIAH MILLER is a son and the one who was dead when the will was made and it is likely that ELIZABETH is the wife of JOSIAH. This makes me think that very likely the early JOSIAH MILLER was the father of ROBERT MILLER. 34. Land plat for ROBERT MILLER for a tract of land containing 300 acres and surveyed by Patrick Calhoun 7 DEC 1762 on the waters of Long Cain in the county of Granville, said Long Canes being waters of the Savannah River and lands bounded by the lands of the Hamilton Grant and by lands of Robert Pickens. "I am sure that this must be the Rev. ROBERT MILLER who came first to the Waxhaws and later to Abbeville on the Long Canes. He was for a time in Tennessee and as a Presbyterian minister. He was married to Jane Pickens sometime prior to 1758. (Land grant indicates a wife and 4 children.) 35. The Rev. ROBERT MILLER and his wife JANE PICKENS MILLER had issue: ROBERT MILLER, ANNIE MILLER, ANDREW MILLER, EBENEZER MILLER, JANE MILLER, MARGARET MILLER, JOSEPH MILLER, JOHN HENRY MILLER. From data sent me by Mrs. Hearns *Comments Some of these MILLER children were old enough to have taken land grants before the Revolution. Check on Long Canes area for MILLER grants. I have my doubts that "your" ROBERT was of this family, but very likely kin. "I will make a few comments before I go further." 36. ROBERT MILLER in #20 was aged 40 in the year 1768 when he arrived from Ireland and this would make him to have been born in 1728. He was too old to have been 'your' ROBERT MILLER who was born in 1760 by #33. It is likely that this ROBERT MILLER aged 40 in 1768 brought no family for he was allowed but 100 acres which would have allowed for a wife. ALL the MILLERs who appeared in what is now Chester County in #s 6 thru 17, may have been kinsmen of this ROBERT, or children who did not come over until later on. However, there were too many in Chester from 1770 to 1775 who took lands to have all been children of one man. 37. JOSIAH MILLER with lands in 1759 and in #11 where he took 400 acres indicates a wife and 6 children under age of 16/17. Some of the grants in Chester on Rocky River may have been for elder children of JOSIAH. I am convinced that all of these Rocky River and Fishing Creek set of MILLERs with 100 acres each and the inference they were single however they could have been young widows (No married women could take grants unless widows) A man coming over always took as much land as he was allowed and always had each child over 16/18 to take 100 acres. "Your" ROBERT had a son named JOSIAH and he is buried beside his father in Purity graveyard. IF 'your' ROBERT was not the son of this JOSIAH, then he was close kin to him. 38. I have not checked the Charleston wills. In S.C. from 1680 to 1782/1785 all wills and administrations and deeds were filed and proved in Charleston, which is the only county seat. There are many MILLER wills among these Colonial wills in the Charleston set of WPA books here. I will check them for you to see whether JOSIAH left a will in the Charleston files. However, JOSIAH may have died without a will and his administration may be on file in Chester for no administrations are in Columbia. 39. ROBERT MILLER who had a land grant in #4 for 417 acres in 1717 seemed the first by that name in S.C. and he could have been the grandfather of 'your' ROBERT but not likely the father. 40. 'Your' ROBERT MILLER was aged but 15 in 1775 and it is highly unlikely that he took a land grant unless he fibbed about his age and that was unlikely for a strict Presbyterian lad. I did NOT copy the Land Grants under MILLER after the Revolution. I see now where it is important that I do copy them, in order to see when 'your' ROBERT took his lands. S.C. WILLS: Copies made by the WPA are on file for all wills in S.C. from 1680 to 1850/60. These copies are about 5% incorrect when compared with the original wills on file in the County seats. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND that the abstracts are from WPA copies and are about 5% INCORRECT. 41. Sherman destroyed all S.C. wills and records in the following counties: Beauford, Colleton, Orangeburg, Lexington, Georgetown, Chesterfield, Lancaster and the deeds in Abbeville, Richland and partly in Lancaster. 42. I have taken all wills from some of the counties in S.C. and have made abstracts, as you will note. The Charleston wills seem to me to be needed to try to find the possible father of 'your' ROBERT and perhaps the MILLER wills in the other counties. # 9 MILLER CHESTER COUNTY WILL abstracts for MILLER: Chester County was named for Chester County Pennsylvania and more than one third of the first settlers came from PA to Chester. Others came up from the lower part of S.C.. Many came in from Virginia and N.C. and a few from Maryland. Some came in from Scotland but the foreign immigration came in the main from Ireland and nearly one third were Irish, many of the Irish direct came to join their kinsmen who had come down from Pennsylvania. 43.

END OF FIRST BATCH OF MILLER DATA (More will follow on (missing data) # 17 Miscellany 111. JOSIAH MILLER apparent error in land grant to him of 400 acres in #2 and land memorial to JOSIAH MILLER in #11 for 400 acres in Craven on Rocky Creek. The date refers to the time memorial tax return was made. The survey date may have been wrong. Often however the grant was made long before the survey was made. Other times the survey was made long before the grant. I am thinking that JOSIAS MILLER in Land Grants #2 for 150 acres on Little River (rose in Chester and flowed thru Fairfield and Rocky Creek was a tributary) may have been the same as the one with 400 acres. The first was in 1759 and next in 1771 (I may have copied this as 1771 for 1773 for the day was hot and the office stuffy) and the extra 400 acres were for other children born to JOSIAS OR JOSIAH. Often the grants show "For increase in Family". 112. ROBERT HINDMAN MILLER (Son #44) came to Brazos Texas and later removed to Kansas. The family of Mrs. Hearn has an old photo made in 1879 and with this inscription "ROBERT H. MILLER age 83 and SUSAN MILLER age 73". Some of the older members of the MILLER-HENRY family, in Bryan, Texas, have letters from ROBERT H. MILLER and from Lawrence, Kansas. The name of his wife was Susan. 113.

It is often hard to distinguish these old markings and I'm constantly getting 1784 mixed for 1786 for the clerk at this time made his 4s so similar to 6s that at times I never know which is which and often place as 1784/86.

This JAMES MILLER was a brother to ROBERT MILLER # 194 or else this JAMES MILLER had married a sister of ROBERT MILLER # 194. This JAMES MILLER was the father of ROBERT HUDSON MILLER #53. Study data below and see if you do not agree with me that this JAMES MILLER was the father of ROBERT HUDSON MILLER, Andrea. Appraisers were named as Edward Blackstock, William Boyd & James McAliley. The children named in the will were: Wife, MARGARET MILLER JAMES MILLER JOSIAH MILLER ex MARGARET MILLER MARY MILLER Elizabeth Cook, 1 shilling. Execution of the will by JOSIAH MILLER and James McAliley gave up in favor of another son, ROBERT H. MILLER. The single son, JAMES MILLER seems to have died and a suit was brought by all the children of JAMES MILLER, deceased, to recover the 100 acres of land. Stating “Our Mother, MARGARET MILLER” is entitled to one-third of the 100 acres. JOSIAH MILLER, the son of JAMES MILLER, and executor, died before he had wound up the estate of his father JAMES. His brother, ROBERT H. MILLER, took over and wound up the estate of JAMES MILLER, deceased. JOSIAH MILLER, son of JAMES MILLER, made will dated 16 DEC 1832 and probated 6 JAN 1835 and states “I JOSIAH MILLER, son and executor of the will my late father, JAMES MILLER”. JOSIAH MILLER had no wife or children and will his estate to: “My sister, Elizabeth the wife of William Cook and she was deprived of but a 25 cent piece in the will of her father & I want her to share equal” “My sister, MARY MILLER, and the heirs of her body.

Ala. I hereby make and execute power of Attorney to ROBERT H. MILLER of Chester Co. S. C. to bring and enter suit for my share of 100 acres of lands on Rocky Creek. RE the estate of my late father, JAMES MILLER, who left me out of his will and to recover, sue and enter suit in my name to recover for me my share in the 100 acres of land on Rocky Creek bounded by the lands of the William Junkin Estate, lands of Hugh White, lands of David Dunn & lands of JAMES MILLER JR.. This was probated in Green Co. Ala. 14 SEP 1837 by William G. Jones, J.P. ROBERT HUDSON MILLER entered suit in the name of his brother, WILLIAM MILLER with Power of Attorney given by him in Green Co., Ala. 27 JUL 1835 a Citation to the legal heirs of JAMES MILLER, deceased, RE 100 acres of lands on Rocky Creek. 5 OCT 1835 this land was sold. I am thinking this was the 100 acres which was willed in #48 to the single son, JAMES MILLER, who perhaps had died interstate. ROBERT H. MILLER is the guardian for JOSIAH MILLER, a paper appears and I do not know what (missing data) in # 194 on which I (missing data) # 32 MILLER Chester Co. S.C. files cont.. 196. JAMES MILLER (same as #195) and the estate file continued: Another suit and this time brought by ROBERT H. MILLER as Power of Attorney for brother, WILLIAM MILLER of Green Co. Ala.. To sell lands on Rocky Creek and make a division. “To our mother, MARGARET MILLER, 1/3 . This land was sold and a division was made between MRS. MARGARET, widow of JAMES MILLER and other heirs: WILLIAM MILLER of Green Co. Ala. ROBERT H. MILLER of Chester Co. S.C. ISABELL MILLER of Chester Co. S.C. JENNET the wife of William Boyd JOSIAH MILLER, to his guardian, ROBERT H. MILLER. Another division shows these heirs and dated 17 OCT 1835 to : widow, MRS. MARGARET MILLER, $41.04 ISABELLA MILLER, $20.52 JENNET, the wife of Wm. Boyd, $20.52 JOSIAH MILLER Estate, $20.52 ROBERT H. MILLER, $22.53 MARGARET MILLER, $20.53 WILLIAM MILLER, $20.52 of Green Co. Ala. *I never did see where Mrs. Elizabeth Cook received anything although she was named as a party to the suit in #195 entitled First Suit. Another suit mentions the will of JAMES MILLER SR. and states he willed all his estate to his wife, MRS. MARGARET MILLER, except that he willed to this son JAMES MILLER, a single man, 100 acres of land on Rocky Creek. To his daughter, MARGARET MILLER he willed 75 acres of land on Rocky Creek adjoining the lands of Isabella Wilson. To his daughter, MARY MILLER, he willed 75 acres of land adjoining the lands of William Cook & William Boyd. To his son, JOSIAH MILLER, he made him executor and willed a certain tract land. To his daughter, Elizabeth Cook, he willed the sum of 1 shilling. The tract he willed to his son, JOSIAH MILLER, a single man, was by lands of Peter Wilson & James Graham, and that this will was witnessed by William and Elizabeth Cook and by William Boyd, his two sons in law and his daughter. *I am wondering who this JOSIAH MILLER, a minor and his guardian named as ROBERT H. MILLER. And since these papers of the JOSIAH MILLER, minor, appear in both the files of ‘your’ ROBERT MILLER and of this JAMES MILLER, am wondering if JAMES MILLER, the son of ‘your’ ROBERT MILLER married with MARY or MARGARET MILLER, daughters of JAMES MILLER, and that JOSIAH MILLER, minor, was a son of JAMES MILLER, son of ROBERT #194. I am unable to explain why papers for JOSIAH MILLER, minor, would be in both files. If you will look in # 195 you will see that JOSIAH MILLER, son of JAMES, died some months before this JOSIAH MILLER, minor with guardian, ROBERT H. MILLER, receives a share of the JAMES MILLER estate. We also know by #33 that JOSIAH MILLER, son of your ROBERT MILLER died before his father and that his wife was ELIZABETH MILLER according to #33. 197. JOSIAH MILLER (son of ‘your’ ROBERT MILLER #194) Estate file # 50-797. Administered 21 AUG 1828 by ROBERT H. MILLER (ROBERT HINDMAN) his brother. Appraisers named to make the inventory were James Wilson, Abraham White, Robert Nelson & John Reedy. Notation that the ‘wife’ of JOSIAH MILLER was dead. Later it seemed he had a second wife but her name was not shown. Buyers at the sale: (he had a large estate) JAMES MILLER SR. ROBERT MILLER SR. ROBERT H. MILLER JAMES MILLER JR. ROBERT MILLER JOHN MILLER WILLIAM MILLER JOSIAH MILLER James Henry Victory W. Paul John Strain William Boyd William Cook Abraham White William Dale James Paul William Junkin John Blackstock Hugh White James Orr Mr. AcAliley (missing data) (missing data) Isabella Johnston # 33 MILLER 197. JOSIAH MILLER Estate continued.. Other buyers at the sale, I did not list the other buyers & took only those names which seemed to be associated with the MILLER family. HEIRS – SAMUEL MILLER a son. Then also in this file “JOSIAH MILLER” a minor, and his guardian, ROBERT H. MILLER, but again, I do not know how to account for this JOSIAH MILLER, a minor. He could have been another son of this JOSIAH MILLER, but why does his name (seemingly the same) appear in files for all these sep. MILLER. “Your” ROBERT MILLER names SAMUEL MILLER, son of my deceased son JOSIAH MILLER but he does not name JOSIAH as a grandson. 198. JAMES MILLER in the will of ROBERT MILLER #44. ROBERT MILLER, son of JAMES MILLER was evidently will the silver watch for in # 194, WILLIAM MILLER, as guardian for ROBERT MILLER, signs a receipt for the silver watch willed to ROBERT MILLER by his grandfather, ROBERT MILLER. Then JAMES MILLER, a share and signed by ROBERT H. MILLER, his Adms., seems that JAMES MILLER, the son of ROBERT MILLER, was dead. I am wondering if JAMES MILLER SR. in #195 was the son of ‘your’ ROBERT MILLER but it hardly seems likely due to the age of the men. I saw another file for another JAMES MILLER which I did not have time to open. 199. JOHN MILLER (son of ROBERT MILLER #44) and in Estate file #194, this son, JOHN MILLER, was likely dead for Note shares were paid 1/3 each to the children of JOHN MILLER and listed as: MARY G. MILLER VICTORY W. MILLER JENNET MILLER 200. My conclusion is that JOSIAH MILLER, JAMES MILLER & JOHN MILLER, the three sons of your “ROBERT MILLER” all died before their father. As you study the files in #194, I think that you will agree with me. I once thought in JAMES MILLER #195 that JENNET wife of Wm. Boyd, may have been the same JENNET MILLER in ‘your’ ROBERT MILLER file and named in #199 but she signed as JENNET MILLER in 1832 and in the JAMES MILLER #195. I wondered if the son of that JAMES MILLER named ROBERT H. MILLER could be the same ROBERT MILLER to whom the silver watch was willed. I noted that ‘your’ ROBERT’s grandson ROBERT MILLER, son of JAMES MILLER #195 was evidently a grown man and this I think eliminates JAMES #195 as son of your ROBERT #44. There are many other Miller files, I didn’t have time to search them for I wanted mainly to find the father of ‘your’ ROBERT #44 & 33 & 194. 201. JOSIAH MILLER. I did not find a file of administration nor a will for Josiah Miller. The Chester wills and administrations begin about 1790. Before that time all Chester wills and administrations were Camden District and are to be found where the Camden District court will are held, in Camden, Winnsborough, York & Lancaster. 202. I was told by a gentleman in Chester and who stated “I am not kin to the MILLER family but my grandfather knew of the old MILLERs and was a personal friend to them.” This gentleman whom I met in the bus station and failed to get his name, told me, “I have always heard that old JOSIAS MILLER came first to Fairfield County and settled on Little River and that he took his family back to Scotland and then later, just before the old Revolutionary War he returned to America and brought his family and they all settled on Rocky Creek.” See #3 and where a JOSIAS MILLER took lands on Little River in 1759. Then a JOSIAH MILLER took lands (missing data) # 33 MILLER Chester County deeds in Clerk of Court’s Office 204. ROBERT MILLER & MARY MILLER & HENRY MILLER – Book A, page 397. 1 DEC 1787 execute a deed to James McCluer for 25 acres of land being a part of 150 acres of land by lands surveyed for WILLIAM MILLER and by land of Alexander Roseborough, the said 150 acres of land on Rocky Creek which was granted to ROBERT MILLER 6 FEB 1773 / Wit. Samuel Lowery & Andrew Miller. *I am puzzled by this deed for why did all three make the deed? Were ROBERT, MARY & HENRY MILLER heirs of the ROBERT MILLER of the grant of 150 acres? HENRY MILLER of the deed states “Planter and Spinner”. 205. THOMAS MILLER C-290 and dated 5 NOV 1791 executes a deed to MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER SR. of “My rights in the 200 acres of land in Craven Co. & on Rocky Creek which was part of the lands granted my father the late JOSIAH MILLER and bounded by the lands of John Mills & JOSIAH MILLER. / Wit. CHARLES MILLER, JAMES MILLER & James Wilson. It seems likely that THOMAS MILLER was the son of JOSIAH MILLER and that ELIZABETH MILLER SR. was his mother. 206. ROBERT MILLER A-99 dated 2 NOV 1785 Deed to MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER SR. “My rights on 200 acres of land being ½ of the 400 acres of land in Craven County and by lands surveyed for John Mills and for JOSIAS MILLER and all other sides surveyed for JOSIAS MILLER, now deceased. (Here we see that JOSIAH MILLER had died before 2 NOV 1785) Therefore, the title falls to his beloved son, ROBERT MILLER who now sells ½ his share to ELIZABETH MILLER SR. / Wit. SAMUEL MILLER, THOMAS MILLER & Archibald McQuiston. There was a second deed of a release and the history almost the same. At the end of the 2nd deed of ROBERT MILLER to ELIZABETH MILLER SR. was attached “Camden District, S.C. proved at a Court held for Chester County at the house of John Walker the 19th day of April 1786. If you write to the Clerk of Court, Chester C.H., Chester. S.C., he will furnish you with a certified copy of this deed for $2. The script in this deed is old fashioned and hard to decipher. I spent nearly an hour on it. See the similar deed by THOMAS MILLER in #205 and it seems to me that THOMAS MILLER and ROBERT MILLER were deeding an interest in the lands of their father, JOSIAS MILLER, to their mother. A bit of detective work on my part proved this as you will see. 207. Robert Hindman, an old man who lived along about 1785 was constantly taking some part in the affairs of the MILLERs. He seemed a brother to MRS. ELIZABETH MILLE, the wife of JOSIAS MILLER. He is referred to once by THOMAS and ROBERT MILLER as “Uncle Robert Hindman”. I wish I had had the time to have searched the Hindman angle for definitely it seems that ELIZABETH wife of JOSIAS MILLER was nee Elizabeth Hindman although I did not have time to search for any definite proof and did not even check the Hindman Index. Most of the Hindmans resided however in Fairfield Co. on Little River. 207. MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER SR. of Rocky Creek 2 NOV 1791 makes a deed “To my daughter” Mrs. Jennet Knox of Fishing Creek, of all my household and kitchen furniture, my beds and bedding and my looms, etc.” / Wit. Samuel Wright, CHARLES MILLER & James Wilson before John Bell J.P. 208. There was another deed from MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER SR. to her daughter Jane Knox of Fishing Creek but it seemed to me the same Jennet who by this time was called Jane rather than Jennet. The Context of these deeds seems to indicate that MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER was making these deeds in order for the daughter, Jennet Knox to take care of the aged mother. I did a bit more on this Jennet Knox and found where she referred to her 100 acres of (missing data) See #3 in 1773 to her as JENNET MILLER and referred to it (missing data) # 34 MILLER Chester County deed data 209. I will now return to a study of MILLER land grants in #3. ..on Rocky Creek in Chester Co. in 1773: JOSIAS MILLER 400 acres indicates wife and six children under age 16/18 CHARLES MILLER 100 acres in 1773 JENNET MILLER 100 acres and see #208 JOHN MILLER on Sandy River in 1774 MARGARET MILLER 100 acres on Rocky Creek in 1773 and see #195 and I think she was the wife of JAMES MILLER and a sister of your ROBERT. MARY MILLER on Rocky Creek in 1773 (likely wed ROBERT MILLER) ROBERT MILLER 100 acres on Rocky Creek in 1774 & Likely ‘your’ ROBERT. ROBERT MILLER 150 acres on Rocky Creek in 1773 and see #204, not your’s. WILLIAM MILLER 150 acres on Rocky Creek in 1774 WILLIAM MILLER SR. 350 acres on Rocky Creek & Gill in 1774 Look now in #134, None I note on Rocky Creek Look now on #135 ROBERT MILLER SR. 227 acres on Rocky River 1818, ‘your’ ROBERT SAMUEL MILLER 2 grants on Rocky River 1793 THOMAS MILLER 299 acres on Rocky River 1802 In these grants I have been unable to determine the children of JOSIAS & ELIZABETH MILLER, save ROBERT MILLER. THOMAS MILLER (No(missing data) Jennet Miller Knox, MARGARET MILLER (and perhaps MARGARET MILLER wife of JAMES MILLER for all indications point to this and her husband was a son of the WILLIAM MILLER with 350 acres above on Rocky Creek in 1774) From the evidence it seems that CHARLES MILLER and JOHN MILLER may have been (missing data) 210. JAMES & MARY MILLER 14 MAR 1794 make a deed of 100 acres of land to “My son”, JAMES MILLER JR. of Spartanburg Dist. The said 100 acres of land originally granted to MISS MARY MILLER, and and to JAMES MILLER. Said 100 acres grtd. To MARY MILLER 8 FEB 1773 / Wit. (missing data) Grisham, SAMUEL MILLER & NATHANIEL MILLER. Here we find a daughter of JOSIAS MILLER and she married JAMES MILLER. Now did her sister, MARGARET MILLER also wed JAMES MILLER #195? Or do you think this was a daughter of the JAMES MILLER IN #195? I think she is a daughter of old JOSIAH MILLER. Andrea 211. SAMUEL MILLER & wife MARGARET MILLER 2 OCT 1810 a deed of gif(missing data) slave boy to JAMES REID MILLER, the son of SAMUEL & JENNY MILLER / Wit. Samuel Banks & JAMES MILLER. This JAMES REID MILLER seemed a grandson. 212. THOMAS MILLER 9 APR 1799 Deed to ROBERT MILLER of Rocky Creek, of the 400 acres of land granted to “Our father”, the late JOSIAH MILLER, (missing data) day of FEB 1773. / Wit. SAMUEL MILLER & CHARLES MILLER before J. Cooper, J.P. 212. SAMUEL MILLER 9 APR 1799 deed to ROBERT MILLER 70 acres of land on Rocky Creek being a portion of the 200 acres granted to me the 4th day of JAN 1792. This deed form me to equalize a division of the estate of (name not legible) / Wit. CHARLES & THOMAS MILLER. 213. SAMUEL MILLER 9 APR 1799 deed to JAMES MILLER a deed to 89 acres of land, part of the 200 acres originally granted to JOSIAH MILLER of 400 acres and for a division of the Estate at death of our mother and by the lands of SAMUEL MILLER. / Wit. Samuel Lacey Jr. & CHARLES MILLER. In another paper SAMUEL MILLER calls JAMES MILLER ”My brother in law”. 214. ELIZABETH MILLER SR. makes deeds to CHARLES MILLER as I noted in Index but had not had time to check. He was likely her son. Also, (missing data) # 35 MILLER Chester Co. 215. Mary Hannah of St. Mark Parish in Craven Co. dated 14 MAY 1777 a deed for 100 acres of land org. granted to MISS MARY HANNAH and deeded to WILLIAM MILLER of Rocky Creek. / Wit. Agnes Hannah. This deed was not recorded until 1789 in Chester Co. and seemingly when recorded by WILLIAM MILLER that the land had been deeded to him by his wife who was nee Mary Hannah. 216. 6 JAN 1780 ANN MILLER, widow, (otherwise, Ann Hart) receives a deed of gift for 100 acres of land on Fishing Creek on the Saludy Road and granted me in 1773. Deed signed by John Jimely and witnessed by John Mills, William & David Boyd. 217. In the lands on Rocky Creek and granted to JOSIAS MILLER and the string of deeds seemingly in the division and equalizing of the lands I saw these indexed but did not have time to check and all before 1799: JAMES & THOMAS MILLER joint deed to SILAS & CHARLES MILLER JAMES & SAMUEL MILLER joint deed to JOSIAH & CHARLES MILLER SILAS & CHARLES MILLER joint deed to THOMAS & SAMUEL MILLER ROBERT MILLER & James Knox joint deed to CHARLES & wife of JAMES MILLER ROBERT MILLER SR & THOMAS MILLER joint deed to WILLIAM MILLER. A careful study of all these names and deeds may give a complete list of the children of JOSIAS & ELIZABETH MILLER. 218. CHARLES MILLER & WILLIAM MILLER (seemingly brothers) joint deed to John Murphey (seemingly a brother in law)for 84 acres of land on Rocky Creek being a part of 3 tracts of land and for an equal division. Land of Michael Dickson & John McCluer and dated 29 MAY 1798. One of the McCluer men seems also a son in law of JOSIAS & ELIZABETH MILLER and note John McCluer in #204 where ROBERT, HENRY & MARY MILLER deed him 25 acres. 219. Archibald Miller Paul dated 19 FEB 1819 a deed to William Richardson Davie for a tract of land originally granted to the late William Paul & said land heired to me, his son. I wondered if this Archibald Miller Paul was a son of Victory W. Paul and this William was her husband. Andrea. 220. Book FF, page 53 and dated 11 OCT 1845. James Henry with dower by his wife, Jennet Henry execute a deed in Green Co. Ala. to ROBERT H. MILLER of Chester Co. S.C. for a 3 acres lot of land in the town of Chester & said land bid in by James Henry at a Sheriff’s Sale in 1828. / Wit. William & Robert Boyd before William Otis J.P. . 13 OCT 1845 Lydenham Moore, Judge of the Probate of Green Co., Alabama certifies that this is a true signature of William P. Otis, the Justice of the Peace who probated the signatures of the within named deed from James Henry to ROBERT H. MILLER. 221. I had no time to check on the Henry data for you save this one item, #220. I did check the Henry index for wills & administrations: T.M. Henry Estate admst. SEP 1842 by W.D. Henry, also W.D. Henry named as guardian for the minor children of T.M. Henry. W.D. Henry Est. Executed by J.L. Gaston in NOV 1856 W.F. Henry Est. Admst. MAY 1867 by H.E. Henry Hughes Henry Estate Admst. NOV 1867 by John Kees J.L. Gaston named as guardian in 1855 for Claude J. Henry, Margaret & Jane L. Henry. John Torbert Henry Est. Admst. In 1896 by J.K. Henry. This completes the Henry files in Chester Co. & none before 1842. I am sorry that I had no time to further complete this check, as it was, I was as completely exhausted as ever I was in my life when I got thru. Andrea. # 36 MILLER REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONS 222. ROBERT MILLER # S 47 514 applied for pension 27 OCT 1818 and pension was allowed. ROBERT MILLER stated in 1820 that he was then aged 63 years. He enlisted 8 NOV 1777 and served as a private in Capt.

This book is a history on several hundred pages of the Battle of Kings Mountain, S.C. 225. WILLIAM MILLER of Russell Co., KY. # R 30 181 in 1829 applied for a pension and stated that he was born in S.C. and served in the Revolution under Capt. Benjamin Tutt. 226. JOHN MILLER # W 3 706 made application for a pension dated 29 AUG 181(2?) and stated that he served under Capt. Smith in Col. Williamson’s Regt..

GEORGE MILLER states that he removed to Gibson Co., IN. in 1806. The pension was allowed first in TN and later in was transferred to Indiana. 228. In the Old Stone Presbyterian Church in Pendleton are these graves: Abner Ledbetter, Sarah Calhoun wife of Abner Ledbetter, and wife of JOHN CALHOUN MILLER of Abbeville Dist.

WILLIAM ANDERSON, Nephew, Son of WILLIAM ANDERSON “to have 1/3 of my estate if my unborn child or children dies…” JAMES NEILEY, brother in law and Ex. WITNESSES: JAMES YOUNG JOHN ANDERSON ELIZABETH ANDERSON (X) It is my belief that this JOHN ANDERSON lived in the northern or north west section of the county and that he was not related to the WILLIAM ANDERSON/NANCY STITSON set of Andersons. The JAMES NEELY/NEILY here was probably the son of old SAMUEL NEELY (1726-1803) and his wife SARAH (1731-1806) buried in old Fishing Creek Graveyard. If so, SARAH ANDERSON predeceased her father, she is not mentioned in his will. JAMES NEELEY married JANE SIMPSON, dtr. Of Rev. JOHN SIMPSON (1740-1808) and died 1804 leaving one son, JOHN SIMPSON NEELY. In 1808 JANE (SIMPSON) NEELY married a second time , JOHN BOYD. Note JAMES YOUNG here as witness and see him as one of the original grantees of land with THOMAS ANDERSON and JAMES ANDERSON on page ___ of this compilation and in 1812. I do not know who this JOHN ANDERSON was who witnessed the will but I would hazard a guess that he was the same JOHN ANDERSON to whom WILLIAM ANDERSON deeded land in 1797 “ in trust for JOHN ANDERSON, son of JOHN dec’d. “So it would seem that this JOHN ANDERSON & SARAH his wife had a son and his name was JOHN ANDERSON.

John Kellogg also began to sign and seemingly he was married to the widow McKenzie. 38.

He and MARY MILLER HUDSON are the grand parents of Mrs. William A. Huey. 42. (see #27) Last evening, I called by to see Mrs. W.H. McCaw at 1719 Green St., Columbia, S.C. I wanted to see how she was aking out with her Eisenhower line which she is working in conjunction with Mrs. Fannie B. Richardson, 681 East Main St., Greenwood, Indiana. This is the same Eisenhower as the U.S. President Eisenhower. In my conversation I merely mentioned that today I copied some WENDELL MILLER data. Mrs. McCaw descends from him. Here are the remarks in brief: Andrea.. a. WENDELL MILLER did not remain in Orangeburg but went into the far interior of Carolina to what is now Conover, Catawba Co., N.C. but then called Rowan County and a part of Rowan. Old WENDELL MILLER and his wife, CHRISTINI MILLER, lie buried in old St. John Lutheran Church in Conover, N.C.. He had seven sons: PETER MILLER, stayed for a time in S.C. DAVID MILLER, lived near Salisbury, N.C. GEORGE MILLER, was at Beach Island in S.C. HENRY MILLER, buried at Conover, N.C. FREDERICK MILLER, settled in Surry Co., N.C. HANS MILLER or JOHN, settled in Surry but about the time of the Revolution moved back to S.C. PHILLIP MILLER, remained at Conover, N.C. Page 410 of Wheelers History of N.C. shows FREDERICK MILLER of Surry Co., N.C. as a member of the N.C. Provincial Congress. *comment: Mrs. McCaw has 50 to 60 page booklets on the following Families: Hunziger-Hunsucker, Bolick, Heffner, Holler. These were published for .25 cents each circa 1875 and are well done and on endurable paper and well bound with thick paper backs. She tells me that she has tried and tried to get the one of the series of WENDELL MILLER and his descendents. She had seen a copy and got the list above, except the names of the daughters. She knows who has a copy of the MILLER booklet and will try to secure it for my examination. P.S. Attention of Miss Jane Lyle - Is this the HANS MILLER who came to Laurens Co., S.C. and thru whom you descend through his daughter, LUCRETIA, wife of James Gammill whose will is in Surry Co., N.C.? MILLER II 42-b. Son of WENDELL / FREDERICK MILLER of Surry Co., N.C. had these children by his wife, CATHERINA MILLER. These children lived: Mrs. Rhoda Winston, to TN. FREDERICK MILLER JAMES MILLER HANS or JOHN MILLER (missing data) c. Son of FREDERICK MILLER / JOHN MILLER b. 5 DEC 1763 d. 27 MAR 1822 m. CHRISTINI BOLICK MILLER b. 1780 d. 1854 Buried at St. John Lutheran Church at Conover N.C. (#27-b) Mrs. McCaw said that the stone of CHRISTINI BOLICK MILLER had broken some years back and the family removed it and placed the present marker without month and day. Used modern style. This JOHN MILLER appears as HANS MILLER also and was in the 10th N.C. Regt. in the last years of the war. So this is not the HANS MILLER who came to Laurens. Likely it was the HANS, son of WENDELL MILLER. d. Son of JOHN #42-a / EPHRAIM MILLER b. 3 FEB 1821 d. 16 NOV 1860 and m. 25 JAN 1841 to Amy Eisenhower. Children: *MARTHA C. MILLER m. Adlai D. Holler, to York Co., S.C. **ELLEN MILLER m. Francis Smyre TENNESSEE MILLER m. Mary Carp Hefner MARY MILLER m. John F. Hunsucker of Surry Co., N.C. PINOLA MILLER m. J.S.O. Shell of Laurens Co., S.C. PINCKNEY MILLER m1. Ellen Smyre m2. Ellen Hefner GERARD MILLER m. SABE MILLER *MARTHA C. MILLER is the grandmother of Mrs. W.H. McCaw and gave this Bible of EPHRAIM MILLER to her daughter, Mrs. Anderson who is aged 96 years old and resides in Rock Hill, S.C.. Mrs. Anderson is the mother of Mrs. McCaw. **Mrs. McCaw has copies of letters from ELLEN MILLER Smyre and some written from TN. *comment: About the time that MARTHA CATHARINA MILLER m. Adlai D. Holler of Surry Co., N.C. and moved to York Co., S.C.. Her father moved on to TN. Later he moved to Missouri and there died. His widow returned to Surry Co., N.C.. However EPHRIAM MILLER had moved to TN about the time he married and was there with the Winstons, his cousins. He also spent two years in Arkansas and from there to Missouri and then came back to N.C. and was in N.C. when MARTHA C. married Adlai Holler. *comments by Mrs. McCaw: She states that the Bible of EPHRAIM MILLER looks like a geography book since he wrote down each place where his children were born. She has promised to get a complete copy of the EPHRIAM MILLER Bible from her mother in Rock Hill. Old Mrs. Anderson despite being aged 96 years old stopped over last week enroute home from Charleston to Rock Hill. She is now planning a trip to see a grand daughter in California. e. I asked Mrs. McCaw re: HANCE or HANS MILLER of Laurens Co. and told her that in Surry I had seen his name on land records circa 1774 and had found there the will of his son in law, James Gammill or Gammell. Mrs. McCaw stated “I thought those kin were Gamble or Gambell. MILLER II 42-e. continued…..I have heard of them as going to TN. and Grandma EPHRAIM MILLER told me she visited the Gambells in TN and about when Grandpa EPHRAIM was moving everywhere from N.C. through TN to Arkansas to Missouri that they ran into the Gambell kin folks. They were some sort of cousins to EPHRAIM MILLER. Mrs. McCaw. Mrs. McCaw had never heard in what section of S.C. HANS MILLER settled. She said she thought that her Anderson set mixed in with the HANS MILLER set in S.C.. Her Andersons came from VA. Through N.C. to S.C.. I do not know how much Mrs. McCaw has on Anerson. 43. Mrs. Lloyd G. Spivey / Mrs. Spivey has the following problems. I have broken them into sections. a. Jackson Co., GA 1830 Census / In 1835 EBENEZER MILLER is found in Alabama. In 1840 he is found in Mississippi and was still there in 1850. EBENEZER MILLER 50-60 Female 30-40 Male 20-30 Female 5-10 b. Neshoba Co., Miss 1850 Census / It is known that MARGARET was a second wife of EBENEZER MILLER. His first wife was born in GA, Mary E. Smith. EBENEZER MILLER 64 b. S.C. ELIZABETH MILLER 13 b. Mississippi MARGARET MILLER 46 b. KY CYNTHIA MILLER 9 b. Mississippi MARILDA MILLER 15 b. ALA WM. MILLER 9 b. Mississippi – TWINS c. Son of EBENEZER MILLER / JAMES PLEASANT MILLER b. 13 SEP 1808 in GA. d. 27 APR 1892 in Newton Co., Miss. He was married in 1828 or 1830, in GA to Dorcas Tabitha Greene b. 9 JAN 1811 in S.C. d. 2 JUN 1885 in Newton Co., Miss 1880 Census for Newton Co., Miss J.P. MILLER 72 b. GA, -father b. S.C. –mother b. GA DORCAS MILLER wife 69 b. S.C., -father b. N.C. –mother b. S.C. The above dates are verified by the tombstones in Newton Co., Miss. Mrs. Spivey comes through a son. d. Son of JAMES PLEASANT MILLER / OZAIS SYLVANUS MILLER b. 5 FEB 1846 in Attalla Co., Miss. d. 7 MAY 1916 at Canton, Miss. He was married 22 FEB 1887 to Florence May Waller b. 3 JUL 1867 in London, England d. 25 SEP 1915 in Canton, Miss. These are the parents of Mrs. Spivey. e. For some reason the tradition has persisted in this MILLER Family that the family were of German origin and came to the Carolina from Allaace-Lorraine. Some state that the father of EBENEZER MILLER was named DANIEL or OZIAS or else a combination. Mrs. Spivey / The first EBENEZER MILLER I have found in S.C. records is in #19, however later you will find another EBENEZER MILLER. f. Dorcas Tabitha Greene b. S.C. and is supposed to have been the daughter of an Elisha or Elias or a William or an Elihu Green. (In the family of my half sister, through their Revolutionary Ancestor, Elisha Green, he had a daughter named Dorcas and one named Tabitha and this Elisha Green may have been related to your set of Green in S.C.) Write to Mrs. Ansel Hawkins, P.O. Box 315, Greer, S.C. who has much data on Elisha Green. MILLER II g. Susan Constance Hesterlo or Hesterloe was the mother of Dorcas Tabitha Green. She seems to have been the daughter of a Revolutionary Soldier, John Hesterlowe of VA.. In N.C. Census for 1790 was a widow, Eva Hesterle 2-1-3 Lincoln Co. and Lincoln Co., N.C. adjoined S.C. at that date. h. Another tradition / ABRAHAM MILLER 1758-1821, Revolutionary Soldier of Chester Co., PA m. Nancy Warwick as his 2nd wife. It is said that EBENEZER MILLER had a brother who was called ABE MILLER but of S.C.. END of the problems of Mrs. Spivey. 44. Mrs. Gilbert T. White / Mrs. White sends me the following data: a. WILLIAM MILLER and his wife, MOURNING MILLER, show in the 1840 Census for Talledega Co., AL. He, aged 40-50 and she, aged 30-40. 2 girls and 4 boys aged 0-15, 1 boy and 1 girl aged 15-20. The known and proved children are as follows: FRANCIS WASHINGTON MILLER ISAAC MILLER AARON MILLER WILLIAM MILLER JR. THOMAS MILLER JAMES MILLER ROBERT MILLER HARRIET MILLER NANCY MILLER SARAH MILLER MARIE MILLER MATILDA MILLER By 1850 this Family unit were residing in Winston Co., Mississippi. What is known about some of the children: AARON MILLER m. Henrietta Honeycut, to Texas WILLIAM MILLER JR. m. Adeline Honeycut, to Texas MARY MILLER m. _____ Carter who was killed in CSA in 1863 FRANCIS WASHINGTON MILLER b. 23 JAN 1825 d. 31 MAY 1889. He married in Winston Co., Miss. 20 SEP 1847 to Nancy Honeycut b. 24 FEB 1829 d. 5 APR 1911 and a daughter of Elijah Honeycut. FRANCIS W. MILLER moved to Drew County, now Ashely, in Arkansas. In the 1880 Census, FRANCIS W. MILLER and his father and his mother all show as having been born in S.C.. b. Isaac Knox from Camden Dist. S.C. came with the MILLERs to Alabama. Isaac Knox settled in Pickens Co., Alabama. In Kershaw County, S.C. is an Administration for ELI MILLER made by his widow, ELEANOR MILLER and her father, Isaac Knox. The file does not list the children of ELI MILLER. The WILLIAM MILLER set know they are kin to the Knox family of Camden Dist., S.C. and it is a tradition that this WILLIAM MILLER came from Kershaw Co., S.C. to Alabama and then to Winston Co., Mississippi and that he was a son of Eleanor Knox and ELI MILLER. Want proof. 45. William Calvin Wells III / Mr. Wells has not had me doing any MILLER work. He has me checking Wells. He wrote me of his two MILLER lines. I. ROBERT MILLER of Scotland b. 1630 , his son II. ROBERT MILLER of Scotland b. 1664 m. Helen Meldrum III. REV. ROBERT MILLER b. 1730 and m. 1759 to Jane Pickens, a daughter of Andrew Pickens who died in Anson Co., N.C. on 4 NOV 1756 MILLER II 45. continued… Mrs. Spivey…This Rev. ROBERT MILLER had a son, EBENEZER, as will show in the following sections. Mr. Wells also has another MILLER line from Col. JOHN HENRY MILLER b. 20 JUN 1812 in Abbeville Co., S.C. and m. 27 NOV 1838 to Eliza Givhan. 46. Robert Pickett Hamer Scrapbook before 1912 / My great, great, great grand father was STEPHEN MILLER who m. Hannah Webb (see #19) and came with his father and several brothers from up north to Lancaster Co., S.C.. STEPHEN and HANNAH WEBB MILLER settled in Anson Co., GA. Two children: JAMES MILLER ELIZABETH MILLER m1. James Lowery m2. Lemuel Alsobrooks Mr. Hamer goes into detail as to the this family and traces them down from STEPHEN whom he says was Uncle of Gov. STEPHEN D. MILLER of S.C.. END of this Section.. 47. See #27 & #42 / I have now had some access to the Book on the Family of JOHN MILLER #27-b. This treats mainly of his direct line and takes each generation down from each child of JOHN MILLER, who was a son of FREDERICK MILLER, who was a son of WENDELL MILLER. The book has but this item on WENDELL MILLER: a. WENDELL MILLERA b. 1704 in Germany d. 1804 in N.C. where his will is recorded in old Rowan County. He had outlived most of his children and they were not listed in his will. His will, sg. 17 NOV 1804 and recorded in Book D, page 203 in Rowan Co., N.C.. He owned lands in Surry Co. He came first to PA and from thence down through VA to N.C.. He was in N.C. by 1745 when he signed a petition and also showed on the Communion List of the famed old Organ Lutheran Church where he is buried. His family, however, are buried at old St. John Lutheran Church at Conover, N.C. and here he has also a marker. His wife was named CHRISTINI MILLER and her surname is unknown. He had proved children: PETER MILLER DAVID MILLER HENRY MILLER FREDERICK MILLER of Surry Co. HANS or JOHN MILLER PHILLIP MILLER ANNA MILLER CATHERINE MILLER m. John Brown MARIE MILLER PHILLIPINA MILLER ELIZABETH MILLER SARAH MILLER RACHEL MILLER CHRISTINI MILLER SUSANNAH MILLER GEORGE MILLER to Beach Island, S.C. These children all were industrious and all became a credit to their parents. One son was FREDERICK MILLER who was a soldier from Surry Co., where he and his brother JOHN or HANS MILLER settled. FREDERICK MILLER had a wife whose first name was CATHERINA. They had these children: FREDERICK MILLER JR. m1. ______ m2. Rhoda Winston and moved to TN JAMES MILLER JOHN MILLER b. 5 DEC 1763 d. 24 MAR 1822 m. Christini Bolick. He was a soldier of the Revolution. He resided in Surry Co., N.C. Check back to #42-b and Mrs. McCaw had listed Rhoda Winston as a child of FREDERICK MILLER. The book gives her as wife of FREDERICK MILLER JR. MILLER II 47-b. The book treats for the rest of the time on each one of the children of JOHN MILLER, son of FREDERICK. One item mentions also: WENDELL MILLER came into Orangeburg District where he had a brother JACOB MILLER to settle and WENDELL bought lands in Orangeburg and in 96 Dist. which was given to sons of his. HANS or JOHN MILLER, son of WENDELL MILLER, was born in Germany circa 1727 and came to Pennsylvania with his father and came into N.C. some time after his father came. He settled in Surry Co., N.C. near his brother FREDERICK MILLER. He later moved away but it in not known exactly where he moved to. It is thought he went to S.C.. Some of his children or grand children settled in TN in Caldwell Co.(see #49) and thereabouts in the same area where FREDERICK MILLER JR. (son of FREDERICK) had settled. It is thought that the wife of HANS MILLER was named Susanna and was a Hunziger which later became Hunsucker. The Hunzigers came from Ramweiler Parish and were of the Reformed Church. 48. The Rev. C.L. MILLER of Conover N.C. is the only known descendent the compiler of the MILLER book knew in 1875 who was a descendent of PHILLIP, son of WENDELL MILLER. 49. CORRECTION: Carroll Co., TN was the place where FREDERICK MILLER JR. moved to, not Caldwell Co. as typed in #47. The MILLER book was compiled in 1875 by JAMES T. MILLER of Conover, N.C. which is situated in what is now Caldwell Co. N.C. but once was a part of old Rowan Co. and Surry Co.. 50. Johannes Theobold Hunziger had a wife nee Maria Pierson, daughter of Elizabeth Puersan and Theobald Rish. They came to Pennsylvania and on to N.C. with the MILLERS. Children: Martin Hunziger b. 11 SEP 1731 Thomas Hunziger b. 1 OCT 1734 (twin) Daniel Hunziger b. 1 OCT 1734 (twin) Jacob Hunziger b. 28 SEP 1726 Rev. Abram Hunziger b. 1717 Johannes Hunziger Jr. b. 15 SEP 1748 (Likely a grandson) Susannah Hunziger no date but thought to have wed HANS MILLER. I was unable to see the Hunziger or Hunsucker Book and these were notes from Mrs. McCaw’s notes taken from the book. There is a Bolick and a Holler series of these books. The Eisenhowers also intermarried into Holler, MILLER, Hunziger and other families and they came from Germany with the MILLERS, Hollers, Hunzigers and Bolicks. Some of the Eisenhowers remained in Pennsylvania and others came to old St. John Lutheran Church at Conover N.C.. Mrs. McCaw had an Eisenhower line herself. 51. Clients: None of you write me as to notations or your ideas as to the data I have been sending you. Mrs. Wefel wrote me re: the Witherspoon Colonial Dame service of the MILLER-McKee-Witherspoon. This I hope to do in the 96 District section on MILLER. MILLER II 52. Funeral Notice in Georgia State Archives / MRS.

Suit stated that MISS SARAH MILLER left surviving her heirs at law. Her mother, Mrs. Sarah T., wife of James Stubbs and former widow of ABNER MILLER when a widow, MRS. SARAH TALLENT MILLER m. 1 JAN 1806 to James Stubbs, a widower. JEMIMA MILLER, later the wife of John W. Bowyer MARY MILLER, later the wife of Aaron Breedin or Breeden THOMAS MILLER, deceased, leaving heirs including a widow, MRS. ANN MILLER of Cheraw S.C. MISS SARAH MILLER died interstate and single in SEP 1817. THOMAS MILLER, MARY MILLER and JEMIMA MILLER were all brother and sisters of MISS SARAH MILLER. 81. Kershaw Co., S.C. / 45-1571 / COL. DAVID MILLER, his estate Admst. 21 FEB 1842 by his widow, MRS. SARAH MILLER and her bond sg. by John C. Cunningham and William Cunningham. Citation stated “COL. DAVID MILLER d. 15 JAN 1842” This was a large estate. MILLER II 81. continued… MRS. SARAH MILLER seems to have died for on 19 OCT 1850 the Estates of COL. DAVID MILLER and of MRS. SARAH MILLER were administered by GEORGE A. MILLER and his bond stated it was signed by John W. Ingram and William C. Cunningham. Mr. P.I. Villepigue stated “MRS. SARAH MILLER is my sister” No list of heirs in the file. Since this was such a large estate there is likely some sort of a final settlement or an Equity on this COL. DAVID MILLER. *comment: I checked the Villepgue data in the book, Historic Camden. The MILLER data is not included. In fact, only the Protestant son of the first French immigrant is listed. Francois Villepigue, with his wife and children came to Camden after the salve uprising on Santo Domingo Island. They were wealthy Catholics and were the founders of the first Catholic Church in Camden. One son was named Paul Francis Villepigue who m. Agnes Mattuce. No MILLER data shows. *(See #98) 82. 45-1572 / ELY MILLER, his estate Admst. 26 SEP 1825 by his widow, MRS. ELEANOR MILLER nee Eleanor Knox and by Power of Attorney by COL. DAVID MILLER. Her bond was sg. by Patterson Knox and by COL. DAVID MILLER (#81) This was a very wealthy man. Inventory made by John Truesdale, John Fletcher and Isaac Knox. No list of Heirs in this file. I believe that a complete search of Divisions, deeds and Equity Court may show the names of the heirs. (See #44 in MILLER II) 83. 45-1574 / GEORGE MILLER, his estate Admst. 1 DEC 1823 by COL. DAVID MILLER and his bond sg. by Thomas J. Shannon and John Fletcher of Beaver Creek. By a deed it is known that the wife of this GEORGE MILLER was named RACHEL MILLER (Deed Book K, page 222) Inventory of the large estate made by Samuel P. Harmon, John Truesdale John Shropshire, Henry Shrook and John P. Clanton. No list of Heirs. Heavy buyers at the sale were as follows: COL. DAVID MILLER #81 ELY MILLER #82 ABIJAH MILLER ROBERT MILLER George Jones John Ingram (see #81) John Fletcher (see #82) Each of these bought so heavily at the sale that seemingly they were sons and sons in law of this GEORGE MILLER. With this much money, there is likely an Equity that will show the names of heirs. 84. 45-1575 / GEORGE R. MILLER d. 1 JAN 1866 and his estate was Admst. by SERENA MILLER and Columbus C. Haile. Bond by Seaborn Jones and James Truesdale. Nothing further in this file. *comment: Seemingly in the passing of time, people searching the estate files of Camden for data were too lazy to copy down from the files the names of the heirs and children. They were rushed for time and seemingly just took with them these lists. More than two-thirds of the Camden files have these heir lists missing…Andrea. MILLER II 85.

Check MILLER I #15 for the MILLER immigrants arriving from Ireland. Many of these settled along the edge of Chester and Fairfield Counties. I shall first take some Memorial Tax Returns for lands in the area of Chester and Fairfield and further north and west. These are all taken from the Memorial Books in the S.C. State Archives. 30. 12-213 / ROBERT MILLER-Memorial return made 2 JUN 1773 by David Anderson for 800 acres land supposed to have been in Anson Co., N.C. but later found in S.C. on north side of Lawson Creek, a branch of Pacolet River. The grant was made by the Hon. Nathaniel Rice, President of the N.C. Council 18 NOV 1752 and the entire 800 acres by vacant land and surrounded by a ring of trees, each of which was marked, RM. 31. 12-322 / ROBERT MILLER-Memorial return made 3 MAY 1774 by Alexander Turner for 150 acres land in Craven County on waters of Rocky River and bounded by lands of Robert Walker, John McKeown and by lands laid out for Agnes Henry.

Surveyed by Alexander Turner, 11 JAN 1773 and granted 6 FEB 1773 to ALEXANDER MILLER. (had wife and 1 child) *comment: Bounty grants for immigrants gave 100 acres to husband, 50 acres more for a wife and 50 acres more for each child between age of 2 and 16. No land was allowed for a child aged under 2, nor for a child over 16. Those aged 16 or over could take their own land. MILLER III 35.

Surveyed by Alexander Turner, 11 JAN 1773 and granted 6 FEB 1773 to JOSIAS MILLER. *comment: This JOSIAS MILLER is the ancestor of Miss Jane Bell Lyle and of Mrs. W.O. Hearn. He is the immigrant. He came to Fairfield in 1759 but returned from S.C. back to Scotland and thence to Ireland and back to S.C.. Ayr Scotland was his home. 36. 12-223 / MARGARET MILLER-Memorial return made 3 MAR 1774 by John Smith for 100 acres land in Craven Co. on Rocky Creek and by vacant land and land of Arthur Scott and Andrew Harmon.

Surveyed by Robert McFadden, 5 OCT 1772 and granted 8 JUL 1774 to WILLIAM MILLER. a. All of this clan of MILLER came in about the same time from Ireland and all settled in area of Rocky Creek in Chester and Fairfield or near by. What relationship, if any, in unknown or unproved. However some were later proved to be brothers and sisters and some parents of those. Check carefully with MILLER I #15. (edit note: #15 missing) These MILLERs were a numerous clan in Chester area. *comments: You can very likely check the surveyor and whoever made the tax return and also whose land bounded each other and in some way obtain a clear picture of these families. I feel sure that these were all cousins in Ireland i.e. sets of brothers and sisters were cousins to each other. MILLER III 42. Chester Co. Problems / In the Chester County files are many papers that have been placed in the wrong files over the years. It is often very hard to see which paper belongs to which file. I use the Court Order Books and this helps me a great deal. The Judge of Probate is very helpful and always tries to get the correct papers in the correct files. Many papers are filed in what is called “loose papers” and it often pays to check these loose papers in Chester and else where in S.C. Counties. 43. Chester Co. S.C. / JOSIAS MILLER who is also termed as JOSIAH in some of the records. He, however, always uses JOSIAS when writing his name. JOSIAS MILLER came into S.C. in 1755 and took a land grant on Little River of Fairfield County for 150 acres of land on 24 MAR 1756. In his declaration he stated he had a wife and one child. This JOSIAS MILLER returned to Ireland. Now whether he is the same JOSIAS MILLER who returned to Chester County in 1772 and took 400 acres of land 6 FEB 1773, I do not know. He seems to be the same man. a. JOSIAS MILLER when he took land in 1773, declared in 1772 that he had a wife and five children under the age of 16 years. He had recently come from Ireland but was a native of Ayr Scotland. (This native of Ayr Scotland is in the Bible of one of his children.) JOSIAS MILLER evidently had children aged 16 or over as noted in #s 31 through 41. Now which of these MILLERs who took land grants on the Bounty and aged 16 or upwards, I am unable to say which were the children of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH MILLER. (MILLER I has numerous references to JOSIAS or JOSIAH) b. Robert Hindman in papers states he is the brother of MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER the widow of JOSIAS MILLER. This establishes the fact that JOSIAS MILLER married somewhere in Ireland to Elizabeth Hindman. c. Will or Estate / No will shows for JOSIAS MILLER in Camden, Chester or in Chaleston. He evidently died without a will and if he had an administration, it can not be found. If at that date he died without a will, under the law prevailing then, his wife would have had a dower set off and then the rest of the estate would have been heired by the eldest child. By the next item we definitely know that JOSIAS MILLER was dead before 2 NOV 1785. d. A-99 / ROBERT MILLER-A deed of Gift sg. 2 NOV 1785 to my mother, ELIZABETH MILLER, all my rights in 200 acres of land in Craven County, in a 400 acre plat of land which was originally surveyed for John Mills but was later granted to my deceased father, JOSIAS MILLER and my rights in the 200 acres fell to his beloved son, ROBERT MILLER and I now in turn deed my rights to my beloved mother, ELIZABETH MILLER / Wit. SAMUEL MILLER, THOMAS MILLER and Archibald McQuiston. There is a second deed of release and both deeds were proved in Camden District Court held at Chester 19 APR 1786. e. Line of Mrs. W.O. (Estelle) Hearn / Here in #43-d is documented proof that ROBERT MILLER is the son of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH HINDMAN MILLER..Andrea. MILLER III 43-f. C-290 / THOMAS MILLER-A deed of Gift sg. 5 NOV 1791 to my beloved mother, ELIZABETH MILLER SR., for all my rights and interests in land on Rocky Creek, my rights in 200 acres of the 400 acres which was granted to my father, JOSIAS MILLER 6 FEB 1773 and by the lands of John Mills and JOSIAH MILLER JR. / Wit. CHARLES MILLER, JAMES MILLER and James Wilson. *comment: Here we have proof that THOMAS MILLER is a son of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH HINDMAN MILLER. g. It seemed to me that these different children were ratifying the dower rights to their mother, ELIZABETH, widow of JOSIAS MILLER. Also, I believe that the cesspool of loose papers or the Equity may show more on the children of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH MILLER. h. JAMES MILLER and his wife, MARY MILLER-A deed of gift sg. 14 MAR 1794 to “Our son” JAMES MILLER JR. of Spartanburg Co.. It being the 100 acres originally granted 6 FEB 1773 (see #32) to MARY MILLER and then a spinster but now the wife of JAMES MILLER SR. and granted the same time as the 400 acres granted to the father of said MARY MILLER / Wit. Thomas Grisham, SAMUEL MILLER and NATHANIEL MILLER. *comment: MARY, wife of JAMES MILLER does not in this deed give the names of her father but we know that in that are the only 400 acres granted on 6 FEB 1773 was to JOSIAS MILLER. PROOF: Here is the proof that MARY MILLER is the daughter of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH HINDMAN MILLER. i. THOMAS MILLER-A deed sg. 9 APR 1799 to ROBERT MILLER of Rocky Creek. 50 acres of the land granted to our father, JOSIAS MILLER, now deceased, 6 FEB 1773 / Wit. SAMUEL MILLER, CHARLES MILLER and James Cooper J.P. *Further proof that THOMAS MILLER is the son of JOSIAS MILLER. j. SAMUEL MILLER-A deed sg. 9 APR 1799 to ROBERT MILLER, 70 acres on Rocky Creek and it being a part of 200 acres of land deeded to me 4 JAN 1792 in an equalization of the estate of ___Not Legible___(Likely JOSIAS MILLER) / Wit. CHARLES MILLER & THOMAS MILLER. Also, SAMUEL MILLER-A deed sg. 9 APR 1799 to JAMES MILLER, for 89 acres being that much of the 200 acres of the original grant of 400 acres to JOSIAS MILLER, 6 FEB 1773 and made for a provision for the estate of Our Mother, and adjacent to the lands of SAMUEL MILLER / Wit. Samuel Lacey Jr. & CHARLES MILLER. PROOF : Here is proof that SAMUEL MILLER is a son of JOSIAS & ELIZABETH HINDMAN MILLER. k. CHARLES MILLER shows in Index as receiving lands from his mother, ELIZABETH MILLER. I was unable to find this deed since it is evidently in the Index Book wrong as to book and page. PROOF: While I found no actual documented proof that CHARLES MILLER is a son of JOSIAS, I am inclined to believe that close study in Chester will prove him to be a son. l. CHARLES MILLER and WILLIAM MILLER, a joint deed sg. 29 MAY 1798 to John Murphey, 84 acres land on Rocky Creek and it being a part of three tracts of land set together for an equalization for a division and it being by the lands of Michael Dickson and John McClure. / Wit. John McClure and Michael Dickson. MILLER III 43-l. continued… Also, Mary Hannah of St. Mark Parish in Craven Co., a deed sg. 14 MAY 1777 to WILLIAM MILLER of Rocky Creek and 100 acres being an original grant to Mary Hannah, spinster. / Wit. Agnes Hannah This deed was not recorded until 1789 in Chester and then recorded by WILLIAM MILLER and his wife MARY MILLER. Evidently WILLIAM MILLER wed this Mary Hannah. PROOF: No proof here that CHARLES and WILLIAM are sons of JOSIAS MILLER but since this is a joint deed, the inference is that WILLIAM and CHARLES MILLER were brothers or brothers in law. m. Deeds not examined due to lack of time: JAMES & THOMAS MILLER, joint deed to SILAS & CHARLES MILLER JAMES & SAMUEL MILLER, joint deed to JOSIAS JR. & CHARLES MILLER SILAS & CHARLES MILLER, joint deed to THOMAS & SAMUEL MILLER James Knox & ROBERT MILLER, joint to CHARLES MILLER and to MARY, wife of JAMES MILLER. ROBERT SR. & THOMAS MILLER, joint to WILLIAM MILLER All of these deeds are early and before 1800. They may help in deciding and proving children of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH MILLER. n. ELIZABETH MILLER SR-A series of 6 deeds that I have no time to examine. One was to CHARLES MILLER. She also had 2 deeds to her daughter, Jennett or Jane Knox, widow. o. MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER SR.-A deed of gift sg. 2 NOV 1791 to my daughter, Jannet Knox of Fishing Creek. All my household and kitchen furniture, my beds and bedding and looms and in return Jannet Knox is to care for the said ELIZABETH MILLER as long as she lives. / Wit. Samuel Wright, CHARLES MILLER and James Wilson, John Bell J.P. There is also another deed from MRS. ELIZABETH MILLER SR. to her daughter Jane Knox. PROOF: Here is proof that Jannet, widow of James Knox, Jr. is the daughter of JOSIAS and ELIZABETH Hindman MILLER. p. Miss Jane Bell Lyle of Little Rock, Arkansas descends from this JOSIAS and ELIZABETH Hindman MILLER through their daughter, Jannet, widow of James Knox, Jr., a soldier of the Revolution and who was killed by the Tories. 44. Resume / JOSIAS MILLER of Scotland and Ireland came to Rocky Creek in Chester County by 1773. He as dead before 2 NOV. 1785. He married, in Ireland, to Elizabeth Hindman and she was alive in Chester Co., 2 NOV 1791. Proved children: THOMAS MILLER 43-i SAMUEL MILLER 43-j ROBERT MILLER 43- MARY MILLER, wife of JAMES MILLER 43-h JANNET(JANE) MILLER, wife of James Knox, Jr. 43-o I believe by further study that these will be proved to be children: CHARLES MILLER JOSIAS MILLER JR.

This paper is: JAMES MILLER, deceased, by his Administrator, ROBERT H. MILLER. Since JAMES MILLER renounced his inheritance in order to allow the will of his beloved father to be probated, I wonder if the estate allowed him to heir anyway? MILLER III 58-d.

Inventory made by these men: James Wilson, Abraham White, Robert Nelson & John Reedy. Much data in this file. No wife was listed and no heirs listed except a son: SAMUEL MIILER, a minor and his Uncle ROBERT H. MILLER is his guardian. In the file and evidently by error. I did not check the Court Order Book to see if my error. I take to be my error. JOSIAH MILLER, a minor and his guardian listed as ROBERT H. MILLER. This, I think, is another JOSIAH and the ROBERT H. MILLER is ROBERT HUDSON MILLER. It is so easy to confuse ROBERT HINDMAN with ROBERT HUDSON MILLER for both usually signed as ‘ROBERT H. MILLER’. However, I learned to see a difference in their hand writing and was fairly successful in keeping them straight. 63. WPA Copy / JAMES MILLER, his will sg. 30 OCT 1826 and no proving date.

WILLIAM MILLER of Green County Alabama. Power of Attorney sg. 14 SEP 1837 and made to ROBERT HUDSON MILLER of Chester Co., S.C.. Giving him power of Attorney to enter suit and to sue and collect for me my part in 100 acres of land on Rocky Creek by the lands of the William Junkin Estate, land of David Dunn, land of Hugh White, and land of JAMES MILLER JR.

Jones J.P.. When this Power of Attorney was recorded, ROBERT HUDSON MILLER entered suit on behalf of “My brother, WILLIAM MILLER of Green County, Alabama) *comment: This data leads me to believe this JAMES MILLER #63had two wives. The first wife was MARY, daughter of JOSIAS MILLER in 43-h and his second wife was MARGARET MILLER, a sister of his first wife. He left out of his will the children of his first wife. b. Inventory of Estate of JAMES MILLER / Edward Blackstock, William Boyd and James McAliley. c. James McAliley refused to serve with JOSIAH MILLER as executor of the will of JAMES MILLER.

I still do not know what is what and feel papers are mixed….Andrea f. My reason for thinking mixed, The suit states, JAMES MILLER SR. in his will. He gave all to his wife, MARGARET MILLER, except what he willed to the following children: Elizabeth Cook, 1 shilling JAMES MILLER JR., 100 acres of land on Rocky Creek MARGARET MILLER, 75 acres land by Isabelle Wilson on Rocky Creek MARY MILLER, 75 acres land by Wm. Cook on Rocky Creek JOSIAH MILLER, A tract on Rocky Creek by Edward Blackstock William Boyd, Peter Wilson & James Graham Compared with will above, said will was witnessed by Wm. & Elizabeth Cook and Wm.

He died before his father’s will was probated or settled and his 100 acres of land was decided by the court as not included in the will. The court ordered the 100 acres as property of all the heirs of JAMES MILLER SR. including children of both wife of JAMES MILLER SR. His last wife was #36 and likely a sister of his first wife, MARY MILLER. MILLER III 68. When Mrs. Hearn sent me to Chester in 1946 to check this MILLER data, she commissioned me to check only enough to CLEAR her line for D.A.R. Membership and to try to find the parents of her ROBERT MILLER #58. Hence, many MILLER estates are in Chester that are not solved so far. I did take all WPA wills for MILLER. Deeds and estates not examined save those shown. a. Check back to comment #63-h / JAMES MILLER JR. died with no wife or children. MARY MILLER does not appear later in the division. From her father’s will I presume she was married to a MILLER for he gave her share to her and her children. Now it seems that the minor child, JOSIAH MILLER, whose guardian was ROBERT H. MILLER, may have been the son and only heir of MARY MILLER, daughter of JAMES SR.. Evidently, MARY wed a MILLER for if the child had been bastard born, the child could not have heired at all under S.C. law. 69. Evidently this JAMES MILLER SR. is the ancestor of Mrs. E. Talmadge Bowen (Jean Starns) and of Miss Margaret Drakeford, both descend from this JAMES MILLER SR. but wheter by his first wife, MARY MILLER or by his second wife, MARGARET MILLER, I do not know. MARY MILLER, the first wife, was alive (see #43-h) on 14 MAR 1794 when they deeded to their son, JAMES MILLER JR. 70.

Phillip Pearson, see will as Annah C. SARAH MILLER m. William McFadden DAVID HINDMAN MILLER, no data on him. MILLER III c. Fishing Creek / Miss Drakeford writes me that ROBERT HUDSON MILLER has a tombstone at Fishing Creek. By dates on that tombstone it may show when he was born and one can determine whether he is by the first wife of JAMES MILLER SR. whose wife, MARY MILLER was still alive 14 MAR 1794, see #69. d. Miss Drakeford and Mrs. Bowen both tell me that the tradition in the families is that the father of ROBERT HUDSON MILLER came to Chester from Kershaw County. He resided in West Wateree Township of Kershaw. Definitely JAMES MILLER SR. # 63 is not a son of JOSIAS MILLER #44. However, this JAMES MILLER is a son in law of JOSIAS MILLER. Perhaps a son in law twice. I know his is a son in law by first wife MARY, wife of JAMES MILLER SR….Andrea 71. Son of ROBERT H. MILLER #70 / ROBERT LEROY MILLER m. 25 MAR 1841 to Jane White.

Mary Campbell Black *Mrs. Cynthia Miller Coleman lived to be 100 years old. She owned this old Bible. She is the grandmother of Jean Starnes Bowen and Mrs. Coleman died in the home of Mrs. Bowen’s mother, in Ridgeway, S.C.. *comment: In the years 1922 to 1926 Miss Jean Starnes taught with me and she and my sister were good friends. We often visited in the Starnes home in Ridgeway. I enjoyed talking to old Mrs. Cynthia Coleman nee CYNTHIA MILLER. Mrs. Coleman seemed to be one of those women who knew the ancestry of all the old families of Chester County. Then I was not interested in genealogy and kept no notes. Now I often wish I had Mrs. Cynthia Miller Coleman to assist me in my preparation of genealogical data. When Mrs. Coleman died she was taken back to Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Chester Co. to be buried. No, I think to Pleasant Grove Church. 72.

AUGUSTUS MILLER called by us “Uncle GUSS MILLER’ came to Greenville Gounty in 1866 from Moore Station in Spartanburg County. GUS came to my grandfather’s place, Italia, in Greenville, Co.. He began to work for my grandfather, Auguste Andrea. When my grandfather Andrea died in 1875, Old GUS continued with my grandmother, Mary Jane Wyatt Andrea until she died in 1920. Lou, the wife of GUS MILLER died and so did his two children, LOOMIS MILLER and little LOU MILLER. They were all buried at St. Luke Colored Methodist Church. When GUS died my father and his brothers had died, but according to a promise made by our grand mother Andrea, I took old uncle GUS MILLER and buried him at St. Luke. GUS used to tell us that he was “A MILLER Negro”. GUS went through the Confederate War and as a body servant to two of the Moore boys. He brought back to S.C., the bodies of the two Moore brothers that died in Virginia. GUS used to say “When Freedom came, I took the MILLER surname for I was no Moore. My master’s widow gave me to the Moores. I began to think of Old Uncle GUS MILLER when I read the will # 15 which very likely explains, GUS said when the war “Come on, I belonged to Dr. Moore when by rights I was a MILLER Negro”.

This same HANS or often as JOHN MILLER came into Laurens evidently from the area of Surry Co., N.C.. There is no indication that his older children came to Laurens Co. S.C. with him for no record is found of them. See MILLER II #s 42 & 47. Also check fully the Swiss data. Evidently HANS MILLER may have first been in Pennsylvania and in the Great Valley of VA. He lived near the Tunker Baptist Congregation and he may have been a member of that sect. He was also near the famed and old Duncan Creek Presbyterian Church yet no evidence that he was a member of Duncan Creek. HANS MILLER also had lands in Edgefield at Beach Island where the German-Swiss settled in 1742. The Zinn Family came down from Pennsylvania to Virginia (Augusta Co.) and to Surry Co., N.C. and some came on to Beech Island in old Edgefield. The MILLERS and the Zinns evidently knew each other in Surry Co., N.C. for in Edgefield the Zinns and the MILLERs were neighbors.

Lexington Co., S.C. / There is much data here on MILLER even though Sherman burned the Courthouse in 1865. The deeds from 1820 on were saved and also the Court of Equity Files. I have never done these on MILLER but I once jotted down a few notes as follows. a. S-581 / JACOB MILLER, and his son, JOHN S. MILLER, a joint deed sg. 4 SEP 1854 to Samuel T., George W., Wade A. and John S. Swygert. All that part or parcel of land that was an original grant to Abraham Geiger who conveyed same to John C.

Mrs. Evans so often did not copy down the names of the witnesses nor often not the book and page. It is much my fault for not telling her how much depended on it. 54. 49-114-1198 / GEORGE MILLER JR., his Estate Admst. (Mrs. Evans did not take the date by his widow) MRS. MARY POLLY MILLER.

Heirs were: JOHN B. MILLER SUSANNA, wife of William Cromer Mary Alewine, a widow Hannah, wife of Adam Wedeman Christina, wife of Thomas Buchanan GEORGE MILLER & ANN MILLER seemingly his wife. NO. ANNA MILLER later shows as wife of John F. Glymph (see # 60-correction) These two show but seemingly children of the widow FAIRZINIA MILLER. JONATHAN MILLER ELIZABETH MILLER In file / ELIZABETH MILLER, the daughter, died and her share given ½ to her mother, FAIRZINIA MILLER, and the other ½ to her brother of the whole blood, JONATHAN MILLER.

I am in error in #56 when I place Anna as wife of John F. Glymph. He, as her executor, was signing for her share of estate of JACOB MILLER. 61. 108-284-2817 / JAMES MILLER, died in testate in Newberry on Duncan Creek. I. Bearfield asked to administer. JAMES MILLER was a single man (we forgot to check the date) The citation stated: “The father and brothers of JAMES MILLER are his heirs and they all have removed to the Western States” Names not listed. *comment: Western States meant anywhere beyond Georgia and North of Tennessee. 62. 111-291-2966 / JOHN GEORGE MILLER died 23 APR 1855 and his estate was Admst. 1 MAY 1855 by his widow, MRS. NANCY MILLER, children: FRANCES MILLER SUSANNAH MILLER NANCY E. MILLER HARRIET MILLER MARY MILLER DAVID MILLER JOHN MILLER MARTHA MILLER Some of these children were minors. 63. END OF NEWBERRY / The MILLERS of Newberry all resided along the Laurens County line and were likely of the HANS MILLER set. The other MILLERS in Newberry resided along the Lexington and Edgefield County lines. All of them seemed to be of German-Swiss extraction. 64. S.C. State Archives / The 3rd S.C. Continental Regt. / MILLER names: HENRY MILLER enlisted 16 NOV 1778, remained to the end JACOB MILLER enlisted 1 MAR 1778, discharged 1 FEB 1780 JOHN MILLER enlisted 14 OCT 1776, and name omitted from the roll after 31 MAY 1777 PHILLIP MILLER enlisted 26 MAY 1778 and taken prisoner by the British 6 JAN 1779. Died in Charleston Harbor on a prison ship. a. Bounty land, Revolution 4-228 / WILLIAM MILLER, heir at law of PHILLIP MILLER of the Continental Army and only son. 200 acres of land in 96 Dist. on the Reedy Fork of the Reedy River. Granted to WILLIAM MILLER 2 OCT 1786 for the Revolutionary service of his father. b. This land was in Laurens County and near Anderson Co.. The 200 acres was not over 10 miles from Greenville Church in Abbeville County. The only WILLIAM MILLER this fits is the WILLIAM MILLER son of Mrs. Elizabeth Nicolls in # 53. This WILLIAM MILLER was in correct area to have been the ancestor of both Mrs. Picras and Mrs. Wefel. However, since the first name of PHILLIP did not come down in their families, I discount this theory to some extent. 65. S.C. Archives / PHILLIP MILLER of Georgetown Dist.. Service for 315 days in an Independent Company of Militia from 21 APR 1779 to 29 FEB 1780. PHILLIP MILLER Estate of Georgetown Dist. made the claim for the pay indent. 15 JUN 1792 Hugh Horry of Georgetown Dist., S.C. certifies that Henry William Hamm is the executor of the will of PHILLIP MILLER and to pay the claim to W.H. Ham. No Bounty Warrant was ever issued for Militia Service. This PHILLIP MILLER evidently died before 1790 for his name does not appear in the 1790 Census for Georgetown. (# 18-a?) 66. See # 64 / The men in this 3rd S.C. Regt. were mainly from Orangeburg, Lexington, Newberry, Edgefield, Laurens and Richland. 67. Abbeville Co.-Check the Census # 21 in MILLER I / 96 Dist.

During the Revolution most estates were not administered until the end of the war…e.g. in # 67 this sale in 1777 but not filed until the summer of 1782. 71. U.S. Archives # S.1702 – Revolution / JOHN MILLER applied for a Revolutionary pension in Gibson Co., IN and was living with his son ISAAC MILLER. JOHN MILLER stated that he was the son of CAPT. ANDREW MILLER of 96 Dist.. His father, ANDREW MILLER served under Aaron Smith until Smith was killed in the Cherokee Uprising in 1776. After Smith was killed, ANDREW MILLER was made a Capt. and served as such until 17 JAN 1781 when he was killed in an engagement under Tarleton, the British leader. Capt. John Norwood of 96 Dist. took the place of CAPT. ANDREW MILLER. JOHN MILLER served as a private under his father, CAPT. ANDREW MILLER and later under Capt. John Norwood. The pension was paid in the Indiana Agency. JOHN MILLER married twice. FAMILY JOHN MILLER married first in Abbeville Co., in 1786 and by his first wife had three children. The first wife died in what is now Anderson Co., S.C. and JOHN MILLER married a second time in Anderson Co. in 1793 and has children also by his second wife. JOHN MILLER moved to the Western Lands in 1801 and first lived in Tennessee and later in Kentucky and then to Indiana. a. GEORGE MILLER makes an affidavit in Gibson Co. Indiana in which he states, “I, GEORGE MILLER, was born 11 OCT 1772 and as a small boy I remember seeing my cousin, JOHN MILLER, come and go to the Wars and I know he was a soldier in the Revolution and served in S.C. and fought under my uncle, CAPT. ANDREW MILLER.” JOHN MILLER pension was first paid in Tennessee and later in Indiana. Stated also, JOHN MILLER stated that his mother remained in 96 Dist. S.C. until 1786 when she moved away. 72. 64-1520 Could be a son of ANDREW MILLER # 89 / ANDREW MILLER, His estate was Admst. 6 OCT 1802 by EBENEZER MILLER and his bond sg. by JOSEPH MILLER and Andrew Bowie. The widow was ELIZABETH MILLER. A settlement made 6 OCT 1818: Paid to ROBERT MILLER, ½ a share Paid to JOHN S. MILLER, ½ a share Paid to JANE MILLER, a share Paid to MARGARET MILLER, a share Likely this is but a partial settlement and evidently made after the death of the widow, ELIZABETH MILLER. Of this I am uncertain. 73. 44-995 / ANDREW MILLER with his bond sg. by EBENEZER MILLER and Samuel Reid, 29 JAN 1830, was made guardian of William Haddon, a minor over 14 and David Haddon, a minor over 14. Each received from the estate of A. Haddon. a. 44-996 / William Haddon, his estate Admst. 9 OCT 1826 by Elizabeth Haddon, the widow, Her bond sg. by Andrew Haddon, EBENEZER MILLER and Samuel Reid. Some payments of this estate, 14 APR 1828: Hugh Gaston, $285 distributee and EBENEZER MILLER, $46 share. I happen to know from my Haddon files that this William Haddon married ELIZABETH MILLER. From a diary kept by MRS. Ebenezer Smith of Rush Co., IN and nee Mary Ann Hadden/Haddon who was born in Abbeville Co., S.C. in 1809. She stated: “Andrew Haddon, my brother, was born in 1806”, the son of ELIZABETH MILLER and William Hadden. She went on to state that, “My brother, Andrew Hadden, was named for his grandfather, ANDREW MILLER. She stated she had Uncles, EBENEZER MILLER and ANDREW MILLER. HOWEVER, she stated again “My maternal grandparents were Elizabeth Robinson and Andrew DeFoor.” I am at a loss to know whether she meant that the parents of ELIZABETH, widow of ANDREW MILLER #72 were a DeFoor. b. 61-1431 / William Mayn, also as Maine and Mayne, his will sg. 12 AUG 1819 pr. 6 SEP 1819.

This set of Hadden/Haddon mix in with the ANDREW MILLER set and are kin to MILLER….Andrea. 74. Abbeville Co., S.C. – National Archives # W.3706 / JOHN MILLER applied for a pension 29 AUG 1818 and the pension was allowed in Bourbon Co., KY. JOHN MILLER died 23 AUG 1825 in Bourbon Co., KY. He stated he served under Capt. Smith, under Col. Andrew Williamson and as a private. He was a resident of Abbeville Co. at the time. He removed to Green Co. Tennessee after the Revolution and there he married, 13 MAR 1798, to Mary Smiley. In 1802 he moved from Green Co., TN to Bourbon Co., KY where he lived 16 years. His widow then applied for a pension and was granted to her. 75. Memorial Book 12-213 / ROBERT MILLER of the Waxhaws. A tax return made by David Anderson for 800 acres of land that was granted 18 NOV 1752 and at the time it was supposed to have been in Anson Co., N.C. and on North side of Lawson Fork of Pacolet River and all sides by vacant land and surround by trees marked with ‘RM’. a.

Check Land Grants in #5, MILLER I / ROBERT MILLER, the Presbyterian minister. He got into very serious difficulty with a lady in his congregation at the Waxhaws. The Church asked him to leave under a moral charge. His wife, JEAN PICKENS MILLER, stood by his in his troubles. Eventually the Rev. ROBERT MILLER came to 96 Dist. 76. The Pickens Family / This excellent book was compiled by Mrs. Kate Pickens Day of Easley S.C. and printed in 1951 by the Hiott Press, Greenville, S.C.. It is well worth the $5 it costs. It does not have much of the REV. ROBERT MILLER Family but I will give what it has in a general way. Only thing bad about the book, no index. Pg. 75 / The REV. ROBERT MILLER was born in Scotland and came early to America with his parents and settled in Bucks Co., PA. He came to the South and settled near the Waxhaws in S.C. but his residence was actually in Anson Co., N.C.. Before 1758 he had married Jane Pickens, a daughter of Capt. Andrew Pickens. The REV.

He also served in the 14th Virginia Regt. under Charles Lewis and in the 1st Virginia Regt. under Col. William Davis. Other data: ROBERT MILLER in 1818 was a resident of Pendleton Dist. S.C. and in 1821 he referred to his wife, ANNIS MILLER as being aged 57 years. He mentioned a son, SQUIRE MILLER as aged 17. *comment: This ROBERT MILLER seems to have moved from S.C..

They had among their children a daughter, Jane Calhoun, who wed William Holmes and had several Holmes children. Upon the death of William Holmes, she married CHARLES MILLER of Pendleton. By MILLER she had these children: PATRICK MILLER JOHN CALHOUN MILLER JANE MILLER. I may be able to check more fully into my Calhoun data and obtain all the data Re; the Holmes and MILLER children. The son, JOHN CLAHOUN MILLER married Sarah C. Ledbetter. (see # 91-o) At old Stone Church Yard, I can get dates – Here lies / Sarah Calhoun / wife of / Abner Ledbetter / and wife of / JOHN C. MILLER. From my Calhoun data I know that Sarah Calhoun Ledbetter MILLER was a daughter of Alexander and Susannah Calhoun of Pendleton. 113. 96 Dist. S.C. Archives / At least five men by the name of WILLIAM MILLER served in the Revolution in South Carolina. a. WILLIAM MILLER of Fairfield County. He has been classified and always resided in that area. b. 6th S.C. Regt. / WILLIAM MILLER as state and listed in # 105 in MILLER II. He lived and died in Richland County S.C.. c. WILLIAM MILLER of the Edgefield-Barnwell area. He served under Capt. Benjamin Tutt. He later moved to Russell County Kentucky where he applied for a Revolutionary pension in 1829 and was a resident of Russell County. The pension was rejected. *comment: I first thought this to be the WILLIAM MILLER from whom Mrs. Wefel and Mrs. Picras descend. I was mistaken. d. 2nd S.C.

There are hints of one or two more men by the name of WILLIAM MILLER who served in the Revolution in S.C. and by hints i.e. scraps of evidence in files that have papers all lost. 114. Question: / Which one of these men by the name of WILLIAM MILLER who served in the Revolution was the Revolutionary ancestor of Mrs. Wefel and of Mrs. Picras. a. Old Armstrong Cemetery (see # 104-g) / This family cemetery is located not too far from the old Abbeville County line. Has many tombstones, two are: WILLIAM MILLER / Died / 6th day of August 1832 / In his 70th year of his age / Soldier of the Revolution. MARGARET / Consort of / WILLIAM MILLER / Died / 2 AUG 1842 / in the 87th year of her age. From the above we know: WILLIAM MILLER was born circa 1762. MARGARET SEAWRIGHT JOHNSON MILLER was born circa 1755. According to this, WILLIAM MILLER, was not the man who enlisted 4 NOV 1775 for then he was aged only 13. Since the Seawrights were first in old Orangeburg Dist. it is possible that your WILLIAM MILLER was one of those in that area. I am unable to figure just which one was your WILLIAM MILLER. 115.

Greenville Church - Donalds, S.C. / William Seawright and his wife Esther Thompson came from Ireland to S.C. circa 1732 and settled first on the Wateree River and then moved to Beaver Creek in old Orangeburg Dist.. See pg. 17 for the children of this couple. Wyatt Reunion Book. a. One son was buried at Greenville: Andrew Seawright 1712-1777 married Mary Eleanor Dickson and they had these known children: James Seawright m. Elizabeth McCullough Eleanor Seawright m. Edward Sharp Elizabeth Seawright m. Samuel Agnew or John Owen Margaret Seawright m1. Francis Johnson m2. WILLIAM MILLER Likely other children were: Andrew Seawright Jr. Sarah Seawright m. Nicholas Corry. Later data has been found since the book was published that shows that Samuel Agnew wed Elizabeth Seawright, daughter of Samuel Seawright and that the other Elizabeth Seawright wed John Owens. Both Samuel Agnew and John Owens wed, in Greenville Church area, wives named Elizabeth Seawright. 117. Abbeville Co. 50-1160 / Francis Johnson, his estate Admst. 8 NOV 1783 by his widow Margaret Johnson with ALEXANDER MILLER. Bond sg. by VERNON MILLER and NATHANIEL MILLER. Inventory made in NOV 1783 by: John Lesley, James Seawright and JOHN MILLER. No list of heirs. Names of the children were obtained from the Revolutionary Pension. The were: Isabella Johnson m. Samuel Black, moved to Arkansas John Seawright Johnson m. Mary Ann Leslie, moved to Alabama Jennet Johnson m. John Dobbins, remained in Anderson Co., S.C. Mrs. Margaret Seawright Johnson married 2nd to WILLIAM MILLER. Conjecture: Since these MILLERS helped Mrs. Johnson with the administration of her husband, her second husband, WILLIAM MILLER, was likely of this same set of MILLERS. VERNON MILLER, bondsman, with the Spartanburg set of MILLER ALEXANDER MILLER, co administrators, See #s NATHANIEL MILLER, bondsman, He is mentioned elsewhere. JOHN MILLER, appraiser, See #89 I am still wondering if PHILLIP MILLER of Newberry who had a son, WILLIAM MILLER, is this same WILLIAM who wed Mrs. Johnson. a. National Archives, Washington / Francis Johnson and also as Johnston, Pension #W.21805 for his former widow, MRS. MARGARET MILLER. Pension data: Revolutionary Pension and Bounty Land Warrant for Mrs. MARGARET MILLER, former widow of Lt. Francis Johnson.

In 1792 one of these children is still under age of 12 years. She sends copies of the Letters of Administration (see # 117) to Washington and certified by John Thomas Jr. Ordinary of 96 Dist. S.C.. 11 NOV 1833 MRS.

WILLIAM MILLER, the second husband of MRS. MARGARET MILLER, served in the Revolution under Capt. ANDREW MILLER (See # 71) and that her 1st husband, Francis Johnson served under Col. Robert Andersona nd Gen. Andrew Pickens. *comment: The National Archives does not charge very much for a complete Photostat of all papers in this file. Mrs. Picras, since you are preparing to join the D.A.R. on this second husband, it may pay you to write and ask for the price of all papers in this file #W.21805 b. Back payment on pension / The Pension Bureau owed some back pension money on the pension due to MRS. MARGARET MILLER. Her children asked for the Pension payments still due them. They were notified that the Pension Bureau paid back payments only to the Living, Surviving Children and these were listed as: John S. Johnson, Margaret Miller Seawright, Isabelle Johnson Black, Rebecca Miller Stephenson, Mary Miller Rutherford. Mention was made that Janet, the wife of John Dobbins was dead. This data filed in 1854. c. S.C. Archives / Francis Johnston, his estate, claim filed by his widow, Mrs. Margaret Johnson. Francis Johnson served as a Lt. of horse 1779-80 under Col. Robert Anderson.

On back of the appraisement for the horse: Eleanor Black Francis Johnson Henry Johnson Margaret Johnston Frances Johnston Margaret Stenson Robert Black Thomas Lacey Thomas Stenson Wm.

Letters in the fileto and from the U.S. Pension Bureau in Washington. MRS. MILLER had died some time past and pension payments were still due her at her death. The Pension Bureau ruled that no division of the past pension payments were to be allotted to her deceased children and the estate was divided between her living children: John S. Johnson, Isabella Black, Margaret Seawright, Rebecca Stephenson, Mary Rutherford. Of these children, mention was made that Jennet, wife of John Dobbins, was deceased. Evidently ANDREW MILLER was also dead. From other data: MARGARET MILLER m. James Seawright, stayed in S.C. MARY MILLER m. Robert Rutherford, moved to Alabama REBECCA MILLER was the widow Stephenson in 1854 ANDREW MILLER was not mentioned. Evidently was dead. Anderson County has many MILLER files and deeds of data. a. Question: Why did MARGARET SEAWRIGHT JOHNSON MILLER apply for a pension on her first husband, Francis Johnson, rather than on her second husband, WILLIAM MILLER. The amount of the pension was the same for either husband. Answer: Her first husband was a Lt. and therefore thru him she was entitled to a Bounty Land Warrant of 160 acres of land. 119.

Edgefield Co. 53-2224 / JACOB MILLER, his estate Admst. 17 MAR 1845 by Alexander Hollingsworth and JOHN H. MILLER. In a letter the widow, MRS. JANE MILLER relinquishes her right to administer in favor of JOHN H. MILLER and Alexander Hollingsworth / Wit. James L. Shadrack Estate appraised by: Henry Shelnut, Joseph R. Aiton, Hugh Mosely & Henry Rush. The estate was many years in being settled. Eight children: WILEY MILLER, minor JOHN H. MILLER, of age HUGH MILLER, minor ELLEN MILLER, minor MARY JANE MILLER, minor JAMES MARION MILLER, minor ALEXANDER MILLER, of age LAURA ANN MILLER These all resided in what is now Greenwood County and near Callison, S.C…Andrea Evidently the widow, MRS. JANE MILLER, married again. M.C. Hall and his wife, Jane Hall were being paid each year for the board of the minor children. W.B. Heard later signed for his wife William Quattlebaum, later signed for his wife John H. Mead later signed for his wife. No final division was made until 1 JAN 1866 124. Equity / JAMES MILLER, deceased. He had been twice married but both of his wives predeceased him and both wives left children by JAMES MILLER who is now deceased. JAMES MILLER died 29 MAR 1847 and died without a will. His first wife died 17 JAN 1824 and by her he had three children named as: EDMUND MILLER, 5 years old when his mother died MARY MILLER, 2 years old when her mother died EMILY MILLER, 1 year old when her mother died JAMES MILLER, by his second wife had five children when she died. These children are not named. Of the first set of children, these were as follows: EDMUND MILLER, d. 1845 before the death of his father and left 2 children. MARY MILLER, m. Thomas R. Anderson in 1836 EMILY MILLER m. and d. before her father and left children as her heirs. One statement reads “EMILY MILLER m. John Rainsford” Depositions of George Tillman and he stated he was a brother of the first wife of JAMES MILLER. A complete study of this Equity may help. The Equity Suit was to protest the grand children in the rights of their deceased parents, EDMUND and EMILY. 125. 18-643 / MRS. SUSANNAH MILLER, her estate Admst. 29 SEP 1828 by WILLIAM R.

Mrs. Mary Jane Rush Broadwater of RD #1, Bradley, S.C. is a descendent of WESLEY ASBURY MILLER, and his wife, Mahulda Glover. She lists their children as: DEMARIS MILLER m.

Mrs. Broadwater remembers that her grandmother, DEMARIS MILLER Rush went to Floyd Co., GA to receive her inheritance when her father, WESLEY A. MILLER, died there. He left a will and left out Mrs. Worthington. Mrs. Broadwater remembers many of these MILLERS and describes them as “Dark Olive like skin, unusually black hair, dark and deep set eyes & turned-up nose” c. Brother of WESLEY A.

Miss Norah Marshall Davis, Troy S.C. / Miss Davis has an old advertisement of a singing school to be taught at Rehobeth Methodist Church in 1838 in which WILLIAM MILLER states he has returned to S.C. from Ohio to visit with his kindred and will be honered to have pupils attend his Singing School. The list has the names of the public who attended the singing school. I, as a boy, remember in my home county of Greenville, the old time singing school held each year in the rural Churches. Excellent congregational singing was taught and many courtships blossomed into later marriages at these singing schools as I recallcirca 1905 in Greenville, Co., S.C….Andrea. 133. Miss Norah Marshall Davis, Troy S.C. / Miss Norah has an original letter written by JANE IRWIN MILLER of Preble Co., OH dated 25 OCT 1829 to her sister, Miss Elizabeth Irwin of Abbeville Co.. (Lived on edge of Edgefield Co., S.C.) Jane Irwin m. WILLIAM MILLER and they moved to Preble Co., OH.

Hatches files, Edgefield / Capt. Benjamin Hatcher of Edgefield County was killed or rather died from wounds received in a Battle during the Revolution. His widow, Lucy Hatcher received a U.S. Pension #W-21275. Hatcher was married in Henrico Co., VA and came to S.C.. Their first child was Mary Hatcher b. in 1765. *comment: Errors. I have typed so land and so hard on this MILLER data and now for three weeks straight. I am nearly worried to death for fear I will never complete it. This in one of the very hardest tasks I ever undertook in Genealogical research. I will begin again. a. Capt. Benjamin Hatcher of Edgefield County died from wounds he received in Battle sometime in late November or early December in 1780/81. He moved to Edgefield from Mecklenburg Co., VA. He was married in Henrico Co., Va.. His eldest child, Mary Hatcher, was born in 1765 and they then moved to S.C.. 1 MAR 1838, his widow, Lucy Hatcher, aged 93 years, applied for a pension that was granted. Children from Pension, Equity and Wills: John Hatcher Mary, wife of Benjamin Tillman Benjamin Hatcher Lucy, wife of Francis Bettis Elizabeth, wife of JOHN MILLER This daughter, ELIZABETH MILLER, died early, without issue. b. Hatcher file / Equity of Benjamin Hatcher Estate shows that the daughter, Elizabeth Hatcher, wife of JOHN MILLER had long since died and she left no children. Her husband is buried in an old grave yard in Beech Island. Is buried as JOHN MILLER and buried in the Zinn graveyard. The Zinn family can be traced from Pennsylvania to The Virginia Valley (My manuscript on Zinn) to Scurry Co., N.C. where is found the will of the mother of these Zinns in Edgefield Co., S.C.. I have the tombstone inscription of the grave stone of this JOHN MILLER but just now I seem unable to locate it. Any way, no issue by JOHN MILLER and Elizabeth Hatcher. There was a second generation Elizabeth Hatcher who also married a JOHN MILLER. 136. Edgefield Historical Society / Frederick Tillman died in 1810.

The plantation of CAPT. JAMES MILLER came to his son, BENJAMIN H. MILLER who wed Sabra Wise and is now owned by a grand daughter of his, Mrs. Sabra Miller Day. *comment: The mother of Mrs. Day had this family lineage on the ancestry of CAPT.

Mrs. Day and Mrs. Lucas have the same line from CAPT. JAMES MILLER except the first wife of CAPT. JAMES MILLER was a grand daughter of JACOB MILLER # 120. CONCLUSION: Mrs. Lucas, I hate to leave your MILLER line hanging just as it was when I began this search. “Cousin” BOB MILLER once told me when I was living in Trenton S.C. that CAPT. JAMES MILLER was from Pendleton area, or it seems to me that he said he was. I shall go to Edgefield and work further on this man. I was also told he was a son of JOHN MILLER who wed Elizabeth Hatcher and that JOHN MILLER was a son of GEORGE MILLER and that GEORGE MILLER was a son of JACOB MILLER and JACOB was a son of GEORGE MILLER I. End of Section IV [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ MILLER SWITZERLAND BY: LEONARDO ANDREA For: Mrs. W.E. Evans St. Giles Day 1955 1. The name of Mrs. Wm. Elbert Evans whose home is in Columbia, S.C. has been shown on several manuscripts that each of you have received. Mrs. Evans has paid me only for this work from Switzerland since she is interested only in that phase. None of you are charged for this manuscript on Switzerland, but I am sending a copy to each of you in the kitty-pot on MILLER. a. The family of Mrs. Evans came from Switzerland or from the German states near Switzerland. They came to Pennsylvania and from thence to the Valley of Virginia and were mainly in Augusta Co., VA. They went from there to Ohio and thence to Alabama. b. Mrs. Evans did not know that any of her MILLER set came to S.C. until recently she got a death certificate from Alabama and the death was of a person born in Ohio and Mrs. Evans was surprised to see that the father whose name was MILLER was a native of S.C.. 2. Source of this manuscript / The Swiss section deals mainly with the 2-Vols. By G.M. Brombaugh and Albert B. Faust. The 2 books deal with the Swiss who left Switzerland for America and mainly to Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Most were listed under the surname of MULLER but they soon became in America, MILLER. You will note that in Switzerland (even to this day) when a woman marries she continues to use her surname and never takes the surname of her husband. a. The other items on MILER, MILLER, MILAR, MILLAR, MUELLER, MULLER and MULLAR are taken from the 3-Vol. Set of Chalkley’s records of Augusta Co., VA. Many of these from Augusta Co., VA went into S.C. and into Ohio and other states and usually by that time had become MILLER rather than MULLER. b. At the top of each item I will use page and Vol. Number as I-80 which means Vol. I, page 80 or II-128 which is for Vol. II, page 128. Same when I come to Chalkley in Virginia. 3.

Mrs. Mary Jane Rush Broadwater has a Miller line from WESLEY ASBURY MILLER and his wife, nee Mahulda Glover of old Edgefield County (Now in Greenwood). Her MILLER family lived along the edge of Abbeville and Edgefield before the new county of Greenwood was formed from both the older counties. He, WESLEY A. MILLER, moved circa 1851 to Cass County, GA and settled in the area of what is now Floyd County, GA. Mrs. Broadwater still, since her husband’s retirement, lives in the old house built by the MILLER Family before they removed to Georgia. a. Main Reason for the search / Mrs. Broadwater has always heard, down the MILLER generations, that the MILLERs on the Georgia side of the Savannah River were of the same family as the MILLERs on the S.C. side of the River. I am checking all the adjacent Georgia counties for MILLER. Using only the published records of the Georgia counties that bordered on S.C.. b. The MILLERs of Beech Island, Aiken Co. now, of old Edgefield were of the same set across the river in GA. Many of these Georgia families moved on into S.C. and some of them as far up as what is now Anderson County. 2.
