I have spent the last few years trying to ascertain the fate of my ancestor Samuel Miller. Originally from South Carolina, he later settled at Sunbury GA, and was a mariner, merchant, and magistrate there and in Savannah. When the Revolution came along he was elected to the Rebel Georgia General Assembly, and was a member of the Supreme Executive Council of that body. He also served as an assistant commissary for the American army. After the British captured Augusta in 1779, he vanished, though one book reported that he died in 1782, and his estate was probated in 1784. Some months ago I saw "Samuel Miller' listed as a prisoner on the British prisonship Torbay or Forbay (depending on which record you believe) at Charleston SC, captured at Camden SC in 1780. Last week I found an abstract of his Will that was made 11/28/1781 and proved 1/12/1782 in SC. Today I found another record for the "Forbay' in 1781 that notes Samuel Miller is 61 years old, and implies that he is eligible for parole. The age is consistent with his estimated DOB of 1722.
