I am interested in information on the Miller family. I am a descendant of David Miller as well. I have the family line back to Willilam Miller and Mary Aldridge. I am not sure, however, if William Miller came from England or Germany. I think his name was Mueller, and he came from Germany, but left Europe for the U.S. from England.

Not directly related, but I have a Nicolas Miller from Rowan whose son John came to Russell Co., VA. The Millers married into the Counts (Kuntz) family who came to Russell Co. from the German settlement in Shenandoah, VA. So, I suspect my Millers were also from Germany (Muellers). Nicolas is one whose name is known through several branches of the family tree, but we have no proof yet. He is said to have lost a leg due to injuries at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Family researchers think Nicolas was b. abt 1740. So, if you ever come across a Nicolas in your family, let me know! His son, John b. 1771 (Rowan), had a son named Valentine b. 1816 (Rowan). Valentine came to Russell Co. by 1846 since that's when he married into the Hale family from Franklin Co., VA/Russell Co. Valentine's son David Payne Miller was my g-g-grandfather b. abt 1847 (Russell, VA). I have a digital copy of a photo of Valentine's brother, Moses Alexander Miller, and one of David Payne Miller and his daughter Nannie Mae. In any case, I'm interested in your family's migrations since it will help me know more about mine. Thank you Sherry, for posting about that! I don't know much about the Jersey Settlement.

Calling all descendants of William Lanbert Miller and Mary Eldridge. I'm a descendant of their son, David who md. Elizabeth Norris. From my files I've pasted the sources I have for William and the notes I have from some of them. If you want to have some fun, go to source #4 about the Aldridge (Eldridge) line. It goes back to Pocahontas. Enjoy! Jamie Sources: 1. World Family Tree, pre-1600 to present, Vol. 2, #3874, Broderbund Software Inc. 1995. 2. "Our Family History" by Harry and Marsha Williams, on the Internet. 3. Correspondence from D.E. Miller at NCWATAUGA-L@@rootsweb.com 4. Aldridge Data (Eldridge) http://www.geocities.com/familysnooper/ Shar_aldridge.html 5. Information based on “A Genealogy of William and mary Aldridge Miller” by Danny L. Miller. Additional information from John O. Hawkins. This packet was sent to me by Greg Miller, 2006. Possibly born in England. #3 Mary was the daughter of Thomas II and Martha Bolling born in 1740. I am not sure about the father of William Miller. I have his father as Heinrich Mueller Miller born about 1710. I have this also on William and Mary; >From Margaret DeLong; "Wm. and Polly settled in Lewis Fork, Wilkes Co., NC. They were charter members of the Boone's Ford Church. In 1755 they were members of Jersey Baptist Church in Rowan. They were also charter members of the Three Forks Baptist Church which was org. in 1790" He is the source that provided William's middle name. Also states he was a Rev. War Vet. #4 “William Miller immigrated to Pennsylvania from Germany, by way of England about 1759. He was the son of Heinrich Mueller of Germany, and it is believed his name was changed from German (Wilheim Mueller) to English (William Miller) while he was arranging passage to America from England (immigrants from Europe had to make their way to England to gain ships passage to America from the port of South Hampton). It is also believed he immigrated with at least one brother. William served in the Revolutionary war under the command of General Anthony Wayne. He and Mary were Charter members of the Three Forks Baptist Church, which is the oldest (1790) constituted Church in Watauga County, NC.” #5 “In America William Miller bound himself out in order to obtain money for Mary’s passage to America. William and Mary were probably married between 1755-60, probably in New Jersey. In the 1760’s William and Mary moved into the Jersey Settlement in Rowan County, and in 1775 William joined the Jersey Baptist Church by transfer of letter from Bonne’s Ford Baptist Church. Sometime after this the family moved into Wilkes County, settling at Holman’s Ford on Lewis Fork, but in 1783 they crossed into the part of Ashe County, to Cook’s Gap, which would become Watauga in 1849 and thus became among the earliest settlers of Watauga county. There he took up 640 acres from what is now the Parkway to the New River near Boone and lived on Goshen Creek. William and Mary appear on the records as charter memebers of the Three Forks Baptist Church which was organized in 1790. They were active and faithful members of this church. In 1801 they moved back to Lewis Fork where they spent the rest of thier lives and are presumed to be buried in this area. They died between 1820-30. West of Lewis Fork Baptist Church is Miller Mountain which may have been named for William. There is a cemetery dating back to the 1800’s at the base of the mountain, and Wiliams’s grandson, John B. Miller, son of Jospeh is buried there.” On Jan 19, 2008, at 8:29 PM, Barbara Rich wrote: > I am interested in information on the Miller family. I am a > descendant of > David Miller as well.
