    3. Marcia, This is what I have been able to piece together on my Miller lineage,..most of the information has come from Jim Weyand (who is a descendant of Mary Polly Miller and Jacob Weyand Jr). My line is through Jacob G. Miller and his son Hiram Miller. I have posted this information to see if anyone has anything more on Nicholas Muller or his other children, and I am requesting a will look up on Adam Miller of Somerset Co. and Bedford Co., Pa. I don't think Nicholas Muller came to America since Adam resided with his ucle Jacob Miller but I don't know that for sure.

They bought a lot in Berlin on June 20, 1795. He served as justice of the peace from 1791 to 1798. He kept a journal (written in German) now residing in Berlin Historical Society (untranslated).
