This goes along with the Wm L. Miller bio quote mentioning Miami country of southern Ohio and Indiana. Maybe, if the bio is correct, William Miller Jr or maybe a 3rd, son of William Sr. of Westfield d. 1712 is just a little searching away - Maybe... :>) Does Cecil County, Maryland ring a bell for any William Miller searchers? "...the William Ludlum Miller family began their genealogic line in the early eighteenth century with the third generation in America, ie William Miller Sr, the son of John Miller Jr. The wanderlust seizing him he joined a party of adventurers moving on to Passaic Valley, New Jersey. He settled in Westfield, New Jersey, where he reached the office of Alderman and lived until his eighty fifth year. The lure of the west seizing his son, William Miller Jr, he moved to the Miami country of southern Ohio and Indiana, In some section of this area he lived until the age of ninety years. He had five sons, the third of whom was named Noah Miller. Noah Miller was born in 1756. He served in the New Jersey State troops and the Continental Army of the Revolution. After the close of the war, he with his wife, Sarah Ludlum Marsh, and their younger children came to Pennsylvania and settled in New Haven, now a part of Connellsville, Fayette county, Penna. Among their children were twin sons: William Ludlum Miller and Joseph Miller, born February 3, 1793. In New Haven, Noah Miller with the aid of his sons, Cornelius Miller, William Miller and Joseph Miller, engaged in building houses, boats and bridges. There was not much opportunity for school education, but for achievements in practical purposes, the Miller men had an enviable local reputation.

McKee. The Noah Miller family attended the Laurel Hill Pesby Church in Franklin (later Dunbar) Twp. in Fayette Co., PA. William L and Joseph B were married there.
