Miller of Yates Co., NY on www.familysearch.org. He married Eleanor Hawkins on March 30, 1837 in Yates Co., New York. The record on that site reveals that his parents are John Miller and Sarah Calhoun. Sarah's parents are Nathaniel Cahoon and Abiah Stewart of Kent, CT and Jerusalem, New York. I don't know if Benjamin had any siblings. Maybe you can help me out. Please e-mail me at LCM75@netscape.com. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The birthdate I have is the same for George. There is a family with parents John Miller and Sarah Calhoun in Penn Yan, with the following children: Rachel Miller, born April 9, 1805 Margaret Miller, born March 14, 1808 George Miller, born November 9, 1809 John Miller, born May 31, 1811 Benjamin Miller born May 31, 1811 William C. born April 26, 1814 Sarah born December 31, 1816 Daniel born December 15, 1818. I have found some information on Benjamin on this board and elsewhere on the web. I would like to hear from anyone researching these people so that I might verify this family.

I did know it was once part of Ontario County. The history is really interesting. I have a family letter that describes the Miller family as "coming down the lakes" to Indiana, so it is likely they traveled through that canal system. It is fun to find out those facts.

YATES COUNTY, NY: An Historical Outline -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Early Settlement Yates County is one of many created from the huge area purchased by Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham from the Seneca Nation in 1788. At nearly the same time the treaty of purchase was being negotiated, settlers were beginning to filter in from New England and from the Susquehanna Valley, part of the first great western migration after the Revolution. The first permanent white settlement within the boundaries of what is now Yates County was initiated in the summer of 1788 by a group of people who were seeking to separate themselves for religious reasons from worldly temptations and persecution. They were followers of Jemima Wilkinson, the first American-born woman to found a religious movement; she called herself the Public Universal Friend, and her followers referred to their settlement as the New Jerusalem. About 60 families came to an area west of Seneca Lake and formed what was by 1790 the largest settlement in western New York. Development The area was so desireable that within a very few years most of the farms were taken up and political development of towns begun: In 1790, when the first federal census was taken, the whole of western New York had perhaps 1200 inhabitants. The small perimeter of Yates County included parts of three enumeration districts, named Canandaigua, Jerusalem and Erwin. By the time the county was split off from Ontario in 1823, its population was nearly 20,000, not far from what it is today. In 1826, two additional towns were annexed from Steuben County, and the compact modern boundaries were established. The County now has nine towns and four incorporated villages. The latter are Penn Yan, Dundee, Dresden and Rushville. The Crooked Lake Canal, active between 1833 and 1877, linked the basin of Keuka Lake with the outside world via Seneca Lake and the Erie Canal system. At one time, three railroads rushed the County's fresh fruit to distant markets. Agriculture is still our largest business, concentrated on dairies and vineyards. Good farmland attracted our earliest settlers more than two centuries ago, and it continues to attract people today. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
