Mike, Fairly common last name, but let me give you what's in Fernow's work: There's a Pvt. George Miller, in Capt. Jonathan Titus' co., Col. Henry Livingston's 4th NY Continental line regt.; served from 10 Jul 1780 to 15 Dec 1780. There's a Pvt. George Miller, in Capt. John Sandford's co., Col. William Malcom's regt.; "one of the 16 regts. in the Cont'l Service, officered by Gen'l Wash'n, and not belonging to the line of any particular State, but credited to N.Y." In addition Miller's listing is, "1st m. Oct. 77. O, M R" - whatever that means. There's a Pvt. George Miller, in Capt. Samuel Kerseley' co., also Malcom's regt., with the exact same information as the one above. There's a Pvt James Miller, in Capt. Paul Neven (Nevins) co., also Malcom's regt. His listing states, "Aug. 15, '77; war, never joined." There's a Pvt. James Miller, of the 2nd Ulster County regiment. His listing is, "Private, Col. Thomas, June 10, 1779." There's a 1st. Lieut. James Miller, Capt. Charles Graham's 2nd. co., Col. Phillip Van Cortland's 2nd NY Battalion. At the beginning of this listing it states, "A list of the Officers of Four Battalions to be raised in the State of New York, arranged by a Committee of Convention of the said State, November 21st, 1776." I think these were subsequently regiments. There's a Lieut. James Miller, in Capt. Benjamin Pelton's co., Col. Phillip Van Cortlandt's 2nd N. Y. regt. His listing says, "Lieut., Nov. 21, '76; resigned Apr. 7, 1778, M R 1st Lt. 3d co., Mil. Com." There's a 1st Lieut. James Miller, Capt. Charles Graham's co., Col. Phillip Van Cortlandt's 2nd N. Y. regt. His listing says' "Mil. Arrt. See 2d Co." Finally (no Millars), theres a 1st. Lieut. James Miller, Capt. Capt. Richard Sacket's Grenadier Co., Col. Thomas Thomas's "Second Middle Regiment." That's it! you'll have to sort it out for yourself; I don't know what the abbreviations above signify, nor do I have any information as to actions of the units or the "Land Bounty Rights." Good luck, Frank On Sat, 9 Dec 2006 14:20:04 -0500 "Michael McAlonie" <mmcalonie@msn.com> writes: Thank you Frank, The men were my 4th and 5th great grandfathers: James Miller (1756-1834) and his father George Miller (1731-1789). George had a brother John Miller (1739-1811) who was at one point a Lt. in Col. Van Woert's 16th Albany County militia. They may also be spelled Millar. All from the Cambridge/ Easton area. Would I be short sighted to assume the scope of their involvement would have been limited to minor action in/ on the fringes of the Battle Of Bennington? George Miller is not listed in the 16th roster, probably because he was older than 45, but he has a newer veterans marker that says "Continental Line", but I can not find any indication of his service. Tough names. These are Scottish Millers. I have seen some men buried with these men who were listed as privates in the 16th, and also noted as listed in the Land Bounty Rights section of New York in the Rev as Colony and State. What is that section all about? Thanks for looking Frank, regards, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Goodway To: mmcalonie@msn.com ; american-revolution@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 9:56 AM Subject: NY Rev War militia Mike, I am responsible for the site to which you were referred: http://www.rootswebcom/~nysarato/sarapk.htm Unfortunately, I've got the same problem as you; the records of NY militia were lost in a fire. I do have some militia listed, obtained from other sources. I also have Berthold Fernow's book, " New York in the Revolution" and would be willing to do a lookup for you, if you send me the names that you have. Frank
