Unassigned Millers

These notes were gathered in my partially successful attempt to sort out my Miller family in Rutherford County. Some of the people below may be related to my ancestor Henry, but most are not. They weren't gathered with the intent of public distribution, nor were they meant to be comprehensive. Some entries aren't as complete as they could or should be. In addition, much of the information is unverified. In spite of that, this file has been included in the hope that even the tiniest snippet might help another researcher. If you have information on any of the individuals below that you think should be included, please contact me at nancy@nancysdeadrelatives.com.

In Rutherford County, Tennessee:

1803: Jacob, John, Lee, and Simon Miller all signed the petition to form Rutherford County.

13 Dec 1803: A deed from Jonathan Magness to William Arnold described a parcel at the mouth of Falling Creek and Stone’s River adjoining William Nash and John Miller. The tract had been granted to Ambrose Jones, assignee of Daniel Hay. Witnesses: William Nash and John Bowen.[1]

3 Jan 1804: The first court held in Rutherford County was held at the home of Simon Miller, just south of present-day Watkins, on the “old road to Jefferson”. This was often the case in new counties until a courthouse could be built. At that first session, Simon Miller Junior was called as a juror.[2]

23 Apr 1804: Elizabeth Miller wed Richard Cooper. Sureties: William Nash and Samuel Wilson.[3]

16 Jul 1804: Simon Miller sold 215 acres on the Forks of Stones River to Thomas Rucker. Witnesses: William Nash and James Rucker.[5]

29 Apr 1805: Simon Miller and Hugh Robison witnessed a deed from Nimrod Menifee to Thomas Hubbard.[6]

16 Jul 1805: Simon Miller Junior purchased 320 acres from John Nichols. The deed was witnessed by Thomas Rucker. On that same day Simon Miller [Junior or Senior not specified] witnessed a deed from John Nichols to Thomas Rucker. The other witness was James Cummins.[7]

20 Jul 1805: Simon Miller Junior purchased 640 acres adjoining Stokely Donelson from Thomas Rucker. Witnesses: James Rucker and Edward Good.[8]

10 Aug 1805: Thomas Rucker sold 15 acres to Simon Miller Senior. Witnesses: William Nash and James Rucker.[9]

15 Oct 1805: Simon Miller Senior purchased 228 acres from Wetherel Latimer. Witnesses: W. R. Miller and Thomas Rucker.[10]

6 Feb 1806: Simon Miller Senior sold 550 acres adjoining Isaac Shelby’s survey, Thomas and James Rucker to Joseph Burris of Amherst County, VA. Witnesses: Thomas Rucker and Edward Good.[11]

10 Jun 1806: Elizabeth Miller married James Wade with William Drennan as surety.[12] Could this woman have been the daughter of John and Elizabeth Miller? That daughter would probably have been too old. She was more likely a granddaughter.

14 Oct 1806: James (x) Miller and William Henderson witnessed a deed from James Henderson to John Henderson adjoining Charles Steward and John Civil.[13]

7 Oct 1806: Simon Miller sold 640 acres adjoining Stokely Donelson to John Davis.[14]

25 Feb 1808: James Miller bought 237 acres from John McPeak. The parcel adjoined Robert Smith’s survey. Witnesses: William Nash, Henry McPeek, Charles Lowry, and David Drennan.[15] This was definitely one of our Millers, but was he the son of John Miller, the son of our Henry, or another relative entirely?

3 Oct 1808: Johanna Miller married Travis Colman Nash. Surety: John Miller.[16]

April 1809: John Arnold, administrator of the John Miller estate, made his report, as did James Sharp and William Nash, who returned the inventory. Names listed in the latter were Henry Miller, Nicholas Conrad, Dickson, William Young, James Sharp, and John Arnold.[17] Once again, this is one of our Millers; but is it John Senior, husband of Elizabeth, or John Junior, husband of Prudence?

Rutherford Deed Book G was lost, but the following Granters and Grantees were compiled from the surviving indexes: 1) Grant to Simon Miller and William P. Anderson; 2) Presley Norman to Matthew Miller; 3) William Loftin to John Miller

John, 2 1 0 1 0 - 3 0 0 1 0 - 0 1 Obviously a different John Miller than the one who died in 1805. And his widow Prudence must be living in another household.

Our Henry is missing. No unnamed males 26-45 are present in any household. Nathaniel Miller, though absent, supposedly paid taxes that year.

6 Jan 1812: A bill of sale from William Lofton to Robert Miller for one slave named Soll, a boy about four years old, was proved in court by James Higgins and Eldridge Lofton. Simon Miller was mentioned in the minutes that day regarding a suit, but reference is very hard to understand.[27]

10 Jan 1814: John Brothers was appointed road overseer in room of Matthew Miller.

The final settlement by administrator Isaac Miller was submitted on 30 Mar 1816 "at the home of John Miller Esquire".[48] Yet Isaac had turned in the initial report of sale - at least it was recorded in the court minutes - on 15 Oct 1814.

12 Jan 1815: A bond from Matthew Miller to Isaac Miller was proved by Champian Bailey. Isaac also reported taking up a stray steer, which proved to be the property of W. White.[50]

Isaac’s securities were James Higgins and James Jones; Robert’s were Stephen White and John Brothers; William Johnson’s William Norman and William G.

On that same day Mary Taylor, widow of Matthew Miller, petitioned that her dower lands be laid off in two tracts of 100 and 200 acres, with permission being granted by Administrator Isaac Miller.[54] See 10 Jan 1814, 9 Jan 1815, and 10 Jul 1815.

Executors: Wife Mildred and son Isaac. Is this a different son Isaac? Witnesses: Isaac Miller and William Johnson. Wife Mildred had most probably been Mildred Johnson, named in the will of William Johnson. See 19 Jan 1816. John's will also mentioned land bought of Robert Miller.[65]

30 Jun 1820: Shaderick Miller owed taxes of $39.30 for 4,000 acres of land on the Reelfoot River.[66]

21 Dec 1827: Felix G. Miller married Elizabeth Mayfield. Surety: William W. Miller.[77] Felix Grundy Miller was the son of Matthew and Mary Frances Johnson Miller. The surety William W. Miller is almost certainly the son named in the will of John Miller on 17 Oct 1819. If so, his full name was William Wilson Miller.

The 1830 Census listed the following Millers in Rutherford in addition to our Henry:

1 Jun 1832: William P. Miller left his entire estate to his father Isaac Miller.[78]

11 Sep 1848: Mary N. Miller married Thomas C. Goss. Mary Miller Goss was 25 in the 1850 Census, Fosterville District.

25 Sep 1848: John R. Miller and Aribella Jarratt were married.[106] John wrote his will in 1859. It's located in Book 20, p. 196.

31 Jan 1849: Robert Miller married Sarah A. Nichols.[108] Both bride and groom must be related to the couple of James Miller and Susan A. Nichols, who married 16 Oct 1845.

The 1850 Census includes the following Millers besides our Henry and Thomas, who were enumerated on 7 Sep 1850 in Fall Creek District . . .

James: Farmer 25, born TN; Elizabeth [nee Arnold] age 21, born TN; Josephus 1; enumerated in Fall Creek District. They were enumerated next to Patton McPeak, close to John McPeak, William Arnold, and William Jones.[109] This family moved to Williamson County, IL; see their marriage 15 Dec 1847.

Margaret: Age 67, born PA, residing with Lorenzo D. and Cassa Newman, ages 44 and 38, fairly close to Felix G. Miller; recorded 21 Oct 1850 in Millersburg.[115] Could this couple’s surname actually be Norman, or was Norman in error?

Felix: Farmer 22, born TN; Sarah [nee Given] 20, born TN; Mary J. 1; recorded 23 Oct 1850 in Millersburg.

William: Farmer age 53, born KY; Margaret 44, born TN; Mathew C. 15; Hannah E. 13; Felix K. P. 11; Thomas G. 9; William J. 7; Margaret 5; Nancy 2; enumerated 23 Oct 1850 in Millersburg.[116] This is probably the couple who married on 12 Mar 1834; wife’s surname was Norman. William is also probably the man who left his willed dated 1857, which can be found in Book 19, p. 130.

Mary: Age 33, born TN; Thomas J. 10; Isaac J. 8; John A. 5; James R. 3; Stokely 22; in Millersburg on 23 Oct. Next to Catherine Miller.

Miller and Sarah G. Hawkins who married 16 Oct 1845. Sarah was obviously not the mother of the older children. Isaac’s will dated 1851 or 1861 can be found in Book 16, p. 115 or Book 21, p. 141. Are these two different wills and men?

Samuel G: Farmer 25, born TN; Sarah C. [nee Gilmore] 17; Burrel Johnson 22; enumerated in Fosterville on 30 Oct.[121]

Enumerated 20 Sep 1850 in Jefferson District.[125] This couple wed on 4 May 1835 with James Elder as surety. The bride’s name was Martha Ann E. Read. Is this the N. C. Miller who wrote his will in 1857? That will can be found in Book 19, p. 18.

William: Farmer 37, born VA; Ann 23, born NC; Mary E. 7; John F. 5; Richard B. 4; Joseph 3; James 6/12; recorded 4 Sep 1850 in Milton District.[126]

There's no James Miller in White County in 1840, in fact, no likely Millers at all.

The families of Miller, Neely, Faris, Dunsmore, and Carothers supposedly all came to York County, SC about 1750 from York, Lancaster, and Union Counties, PA.[152] But are they really our Millers, or another with that common surname?

"The Millers" donated the land for the Sharon ARP Church (breakaway Presbyterian) in 1796. The ARP Church of the Carolinas allowed hymns. John Miller, along with Andrew Ferguson, attended the meeting of that body on Black River, SC to "obtain supplies".[162] Perhaps hymnals?
