Samuel Miller (b.1758) and his wife, Barbara Kingery (b.1764), moved from Virginia (possibly Franklin County) to Grayson County, Kentucky, sometime around the year 1800. Samuel was listed in both the 1810 and 1820 censuses for Grayson County, KY. In the 1810 census, Samuel Miller and five other Miller families were living close together. In the 1820 census, Samuel Miller and 15 other Miller families were living close together. Samuel Miller is said to have died about 1827. If Samuel and Barbara were members of the Miller and Kingery families of Franklin County, VA, during the late 1700s, they were quite possibly Brethren, and if their family (along with other Miller relations) were in Grayson County during the 1810s and 1820s, they might have been associated with the Grayson County Brethren church organized by Elder Joseph Roland. Can anyone add to this? Dwayne Wrightsman

I have tried to identified the "Five Miller Brothers" - Elder Jacob Miller, Tobias Miller and Baltzar Miller are connected. I have identified the presence of an Isaac Miller and a Daniel Miller - who might be the other brothers of the "Five". There were several families of Kingerys (Gingrich) there in Franklin Co VA - some daughers married sons of Elder Jacob Miller, and came to the Four Mile - here in Indiana. The Grayson County Church was started late (Joseph Roland - 1814), and I did little with those Kentucky Brethren churches that came in existance after 1800, but it is becoming very interesting!
