The Miller Family

THE MILLER FAMILY

Jacob Miler, the progenitor of this family, was one of the earliest
settlers of Kiskiminetas township, where his descendants now reside. He was
born in Loudoun county, Virginia, in 1774, and his wife, Mary Uncafer, was
born the same year. They emigrated to this county in the spring of 1803, the
year the county was organized judicially, and lived here the remainder of
their lives, rearing a family of five children. Jacob Miler died May 3, 1856,
and his wife in 1821. Their children were: Joseph, born October 31, 1798, died
October 31, 1862; John, born February 18, 1800; Margaret (wife of David
Black), born December 18, 1803; William, born May 13, 1806; Andrew born April
15, 1814; and Mary, born 1809, who died in infancy.

Andrew Miller, who owns the old homestead farm, and lived upon it, married
June 21, 1855, Miss Mary Jane Baker, who was born in Westmoreland county,
October 4, 1834. They had had eight children, as follows: Wilhelmina, born
September 18, 1856 (wife of William McKustry, and a resident of Kiskiminetas
township); Oliver Milton, born February 25, 1860; William John, born November
21, 1861; Jacob Andrew, born July 7, 1865; David Franklin, born July 21, 1867;
Harry A., born February 10, 1870; and infant not named, born January 31, 1874,
and Ida Rosetta, born April 27, 1875. Andrew Miller has been all of his life a
farmer. He owns about 130 acres of land, the old homestead, which is well
improved and valuable.
