    3. No idea. I was just quoting a list of Millers in these two documents. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Harter Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 6:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BRE] Brethren Millers two questions: Do you know who this mentioned Adam Miller would have been? Jacob Petry Jr. married Magdelena Miller, whose father was an Adam Miller. So far I have been able to find any information on him. Do you find any Harters in the non-enroller list? Three brothers (without looking it up I believe it was Christian, Adam, and Frantz) were brought before the court for not enrolling and pleaded innocence - Adam married Anthony Hardman's daughter and moved to Washington Co. PA with or after the Hardman family.
