  • Notes 
    • DAR-PATRIOT: Sol, SC

      Served in the Revolutionary War in the Quartermaster.

      John Miller served eighty days, from 9 January to 8 July, 1779 under Capt. John A. Sumners and Col. Waters.

      Birth order of his children matches the list in the estate papers, which probably listed them from oldest to youngest.

      There is a note in the estate about a charge against the estate for assessing land in Edgefield. It appears that John Miller may have had land in that county as well at the time of his death.

      There is a will from Hanse Miller in Will Book A that bequeaths property to John Miller. Is this his father?
