My Johan Peter Thuny bp 1710/11 near Berne Switzerland, married Anna Bahr, 1741 they arrived Philadelphia ship Friendship, 1749 Anna was dead and Peter with new wife bp a daughter in Lehigh Co PA, 1751 he is living between Woodstock and Edinburg, Virginia where he stayed till 1787 or so. But what I wanted to tell you - Miller is common name, and I am sure you know about Woodstock, VA - it was land of a Miller. I found a record of soldiers in French and Indian War 1750s from Dunmore Co VA - later Shenandoah County where Woodstock, etc. is located. On it were a couple of Millers, and a John Cook. Somone just asked me about a Cook/Miller connection. Seems they are dec. from Jacob Nicely/Knisely whose wife was first married to a John Miller, then to a John Cook. I did find a Frederick Co VA will for William Abernathy in 1780....mentions son-in-laws: Hugh Cook and wife Elizabeth; and John Miller and wife Ann. Just thought you might want to look around Woodstock area for a Cook there in 1750s or so. My group includes not only Bahr/Barr, Thuny/Dorney/Turney....but there are connections to Swartz/Black, Andis/Andes, etc. Daniel Turney arrived 1740 Peter Turney 1741 with some of the Bahr/Barr and Andes Henrich/Henry Turney 1743 - again with some of the Bahr/Barr and I think Jacob Bahr/Barr on St Andrew in 1750 was a brother or something to Melchior Bahr/Barr SR who was father to Anna Bahr Turney. Some of the others around Peter Turney near Edinburg - Nuland/Newland, Peters, Petre, Nicely/Knisely, Teeter, Buhler/Beeler/Beelor, Funkhouser, Miller, Koontz/Countz, etc. Many of the children of these around 1774 moved to SW Virginia/eastern TN. I would also have to throw in Bowman and Bumgarden as living near the Turneys - also Abraham Bird, Hawkins, Matheny later on but they were not German. Peter Turney was a linen weaver in Switzerland/Germany, and I have been told that group of German speaking people around Woodstock grew flax and wove linen. Mary
