Futhey and Cope say that Gayen Miller and wife Margaret were some of the first settlers in Kennet twp, and first bought land in 1702....all their children are incluced in the bio, but no mention that Gayen had other family in the New World. John Miller and wife Ann Clibborn had, according to Myers; Wm b1659, at Moat; Margaret 1662 at Shurrch d 1668; John b 1665 at Moate; Thomas b 1667 at Ballynalinch; Abraham 1670, at Glin, co West Meath, and Isaac b 1672, at Glin. (I think if Gayen were a member of this family, this would be the generation he was born into, wouldn't it?...to be the brother of the Chester Co John who died in 1714) There are just so many Miller families, it's hard to get them straight....I'm glad I don't have to figure them out for my own research.......! I looked in Early Court Records, and there is included, a James Miller, who was one of several who, in 1698, witnessed the 'unlawful marriage' of Benjamin Engram and Jeane Hendrix...., at the home of James Brown, at Chichester....(they were indicted by the Grand Inquest!!!) This is the earliest mention of a Miller, in the early court records...pretty interesting stuff. It'd be interesting to know more, which is often the problem..you read something fascinating and then NEVER know the end of the story! S. " In 1712 Gayen Miller purchased 700 acres of land in New Garden township. On Dec.9 and 10,1723,he purchased 500 acres in East Caln,from Elizabeth Webb,and on Sept.23,1729,he purchased 500 acres on Pequea Creek, Lancaster Co.,which he devised to his sons Benjamin and John.In 1714 he was elected to the Assembly to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Miller,of New Garden,who certainly came from Ireland and has been supposed a brother to Gayen."

John Miller spent alot of time in Moate! PLEASE don't tell me that "Lurgan" was the little village down the road.
