Will was probated 1793. May have attended Zion Windsor Castle Church (now in Perry Twp.) Will lists: wife, Elizabeth four sons, John, Isaac, Abraham, William nine daughters, Margaret, Catharine, Elizabeth, Maria, Rosina, Susana, Hanna, Esther, Sara Valentine Miller appears in a 1768 tax list for Windsor Township, indicating he was over the age of 21. If Valentine was at least 21 years old in 1768, this would give him a date of birth before or about 1747. Valentine then appears on tax lists for 1779-1781, 1783, 1786, and 1789 in neighboring Maidencreek Township. Presently Perry Township lies between Windsor and Maidencreek, but Perry was formed in 1852 from part of Windsor Township. Valentine's son, Isaac, and daughter in law were buried at Zion Windsor Castle Church, now located in Perry Township, further supporting that this family lived near the border between Maidencreek and Windsor. Valentine also appears in the 1790 census in Maidencreek Township. He is listed with 2 males over 16, 1 male under age 16, and 9 females. The estate of Valentine Miller, cordwainer of Maidencreek Township, was probated in 1793. His will was written 19 December 1792. Letters Testamentary were granted to John Reeser, the executor, on 15 February 1793. This indicates a death date between 19 December 1792 and 15 February 1793.
