Henry Miller, Sr. (b. 1727, d. June 25, 1801)
Notes for Henry Miller, Sr.:[Rice-Fox-Love1.FTW]
Heinrich Adam Muller was born in Germany ca. 1727.He came from "Kurpfalz", Germany, (Palatinate on the Rhine in German is Rheinfalz) to America at the age of 21 years.His passage was on the ship "Paliena" (Patience) sailing from Rotterdam, last of Cowes, England, with Master on the Patience, Captain John Brown.
The Patience docked on 16 September 1748, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.On that same day of arrival in America, Heinrich Adam Muller took the oath of government at the Court House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.At that time Heinrich Adam Muller's name was Anglicized to Henry Miller.The Patience's sailing list included Jacobus and Johannes Miller aged 23 and 24.We do not know whether the three Mullers were brothers.Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA was the main port of entry for thousands of German immigrants who came to America during the "Great Migration".From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Henry Miller, went to Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA.The name Henry Miller, "single", appears in the list of taxables of Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA.This list was compiled in or about 1752.A similar list of taxables for that area in 1753 did not list a Henry Miller.It is possible that he married and moved to another Pennsylvania, USA, County.
Henry Miller did marry Susanna Sibberine Sibler in 1753 or early in 1754, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, USA.Susanna was the d/o of citizen and master carpenter Michael and Barbara Siboli (Barbara's maiden name unknown).The name Soboli became Sibler in America.Susanna Sibler was born 21 February 1731 in the mother parish of Langensteinbach-Baden, Germany, of Evangelic Lutheran parents.There are other areas of Germany mentioned when referring to the birthplace, home and christening of Susanna Sibler, Turlock on the Rhine and Auerbach.Susanna Sibler sailed for America from Germany, 9 November 1752 arriving, about 4 January 1753, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.The voyage was very rough and lasted some eight weeks.The ship's name is not known or Susanna's name has not been found on any ships list.There is one explanation, women and children's names were not always included on early sailing lists.It has been suggested that Susanna followed her sweetheart, Heinrich Adam Muller, to America.
Mr. Carroll Haines, a son of Oakley Philpotts Haines, one time a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, USA possessed Susanna's German birth certificate which has the record of her baptism.
Henry and Susanna Miller lived in Germantown, which at one time in, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA.Afterwards they lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA.Henry Miller was naturalized 24 September 1762 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.Henry and Susanna lived in the area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA for some twenty-three years.
Henry Miller was a tanner by trade.Many believe he moved his family to Virginia sometime in 1771, for better tan bark timber.They settled in Culpeper County, Virginia, USA, (now Madison County).
Henry Miller purchased his first parcel of land, 20 acres, on 16 April 1776 and on 7 September 1776 added another 50 acres.Here in 1776 he built their home of stone on the Robinson River across from the Hebron Church near Washington, Virginia, USA, where their children were all registered.It has been stated that the house was the largest and best constructed in that settlement or section. Henry and Susanna Miller had 12 children, 8 girls and 4 boys (1 set of twins).
On 25 August 1780, Henry Miller added more acres to his holdings.He purchased 2 tracts from Phillip Gatewood, 732 & 804 respectively.These land tracts were part of the original grants to Messrs. James Kennerly and Philip Gatewood by Thomas, Lord Fairfax, Proprietor of the Northern Neck, the deeds are recorded in the Culpeper County, Virginia, USA.
Henry Miller I served in the Revolutionary War as a private for one and one-half years.He enlisted at the Chesterfield Court House from Culpeper County, Virginia, USA on 10 July 1780.On Captain Permeans Brisco's payroll, Henry is stated to be a farmer from Culpeper and that he was drafted at the age of 53 years.These facts are available in Register 21, of 1 of "Papers Concerning the Army of the Revolution", a manuscript volume in the Virginia State Library.Another Henry Miller of Culpeper County, is mentioned in a list of men who served under General George Rogers Clark and a Captain Permeans Brisco on an expedition against the Shawnee Indians, 30 July 1780 through 3 August 1780.The Virginia State Library Archives Department records the amount due Captain Brisco:16 pounds, 10 shillings and Private Miller: 2 pounds, 4 shillings and 0 pence, (Ref. Illinois, USA Papers 11-56).On these papers Henry is described, at the time of enlistment, as 53 years, 5 ft. 5 in. tall, black hair, hazel eyes and dark complexion.The records also state his birthplace as Germany in the area of "Keipoltz".Because names and places were often misspelled or spelled by sound it is believed that it is Kurhpalz.
Photostatic copies of Henry Miller's payroll records can be obtained from the Virginia State Library Archives Department in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
There are several stories about Henry Miller.Some are from my childhood memory, hearing adults talk.One story deals with Henry serving in the Army of Frederick the Great of Prussia.
Another story deals with Henry being insulted by his superior officer, provoking Henry to strike the officer.For this act he was forced to leave his native land.There is another version to the above incident.While serving on the staff of Frederick the Great, Henry did strike down a superior officer.The explanation for the act was that Henry "could not stand" or as one romantic version has it, he "could not brook" an insult to a lady.Some question whether Heinrich Adam Muller ever served in the army.Miss Amanda Newton, a descendant of Elizabeth Miller LeCampion, a daughter of Henry and Susanna Miller recalled hearing her mothersay that Henry's parents urged him to become a minister.He gave up the ministry after the death of an older brother.For a while he worked for his father.This was before immigrating to America.
Family history states that Henry and Susanna Miller had 12 children.It is believed that the first child of Henry and Susanna was born and died in Pennsylvania, USA at an early age, since a name does not, appear on the list of their children recorded in the Birth Register of Hebron Church, Culpeper County, now Madison County, Virginia, USA.The Miller children's names beginning with Maria (Mary-Mollie) as the second child.
A daughter of Henry and Susanna Miller, Elizabeth (Betsy) married Francis LeCampion, who at one time had been an officer in the French Army on Napoleon’s staff.A sword was presented to Francis LeCampion by Marshall Ney, his superior officer.The sword is still kept by Isabella Sterrett Miller a descendant of Elizabeth and Francis LeCampion.Little is known of the history of the sword except the presentation and some description.The stitching on the case has deteriorated but inside there is the word "Toledo".On the sword handle there is a spread eagle also the word "Adamo".
One Miller daughter, Sarah, Susanna Catherine or Margaret, married a Jesse Backster (Baxter), but records are not clear.It is thought they went North to live.A grandson of Henry Miller I, John Miller II, married Jane Jackson daughter of Richard Jackson.Richard Jackson was the brother of Andrew Jackson.This Andrew Jackson was the father of President Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States.
Henry Miller I died in 25 June 1801 at his home in Madison County, Virginia, USA.His last will and testament was exhibited at a court for Madison Court on Thursday 25 June 1801, Will Book #1. an inventory of his estate is found on page 281 of Will Book #1.Richard Jackson & Ezekial Haines were co-witnessed Henry Miller's will.The three were very close friends.Ezekial Haines' son, Isaac was married to Henry's daughter Mary Miller.Richard Jackson's daughter Jane was married to Henry I's grandson John Miller II and Abigail Jackson married Henry's grandson David Miller Henry's will left the house to his youngest son Adam Miller Adam Miller was killed in the War of 1812.Lewis Miller, the oldest son of Adam Miller, stayed at the home with his mother, Mary (Wilhoit) Miller, until her death in 1838.Lewis Miller continued to live at the home place until his death in 1873.Susanna Miller survived her husband Henry by at least six years and died in Madison County, Virginia, USA sometime after 1807.There is no record of their burial site.The home was torn down about 1914.
One Miller daughter, either Sarah, Susanna Catherine, or Margaret, married Jesse Backster (Baxter), and is thought to have gone north to live.
Of the twelve children, nine were apparently living at the time their father's estate was settled -- November 26, 1807.
Sons:Henry, John, George and Adam
Daughters:Mary (widowed); ______ Backster, represented by her husband, Jesse; Anna Berry, represented by her husband, Jesse; Sophia Rogers, represented by her husband, Burgess; and Elizabeth, still unmarried when her father died in 1801, but certainly married when his estate was settled in 1807.
According to Dr. Slaughter's Notes on Culpeper County -- 1781 to January 1, 1825, one Aggy Miller (could be Peggy, short for Margaret) married Elijah Settle in 1795, and one Michael Miller married Rebecca Carpenter in 1793.

SUNNYSIDE
Culpeper County Deed Book M, page 342.Deed of gift recorded March 21. 1795.Henry Miller to son. Henry Miller II -- 580 acres.
"To all whom these presents shall come, I, Henry Miller, do send greeting.Know you that the said Henry Miller of the Parish of Brumfield in the County of Culpeper together with (Susanna) my wife for divers good causes and considerations but more especially for the natural love, good will and affection which we have used to bear towards our loving son Henry Miller of the aforesaid parish and county do by these presents freely and absolutely give, grant and confirm unto him, the said Henry Miller, a certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in the aforesaid parish and county containing by estimation five hundred and eighty acres by the same more or less and bounded as followeth, to wit:Beginning at two red oaks on the Fodderstack Mountain, thence S 17° E 224 poles to two hickories and two red oak saplings, thence S 37° W 120 poles to two red and one white oak saplings, corner to George Miller, thence with his lines N 36° W 210 poles to a double chestnut, white oak and hickory corner to the said George Miller thence leaving the said Miller's lines N 41° E 40 poles to a hickory, chestnut and chestnut oak on the north end of Peaked Mountain thence S 41° E 346 poles to a hickory gum and Jesuit tree, thence S 35° W to the beginning.Now the above-mentioned land with all appurtenances thereto belonging we do by these presents freely and absolutely give to the said Henry Miller, his heirs and assigns as witness hands and seals this 21st day of March, 1785.”
Henry Miller (L.S.)
In this manner did Henry Miller II become possessed of the property in Rappahannock County (formed from Culpeper County in 1833) near the town of Washington, Virginia, USA, known as "Sunnyside".The home at the foot of "Peaked Mountain" is now (in 1981) occupied by the family of Frank Downing Wood, Jr., a great-great-grandson of Henry II.
It is said that in early days it was necessary for two people to go to the "Sunnyside" spring for water -- one to carry the buckets and the other to carry a gun for protection from the Indians.The first house there is said to have been burned by the Indians.Whether or not the present old house was built by Henry II or by his father is not known.It seems likely, however, that Henry II was the builder.
It is in a wonderful state of preservation.The, first part was built of logs as were so many of the pioneer homes.The rooms upstairs have exposed beams which show very careful workmanship.The next part was built of stone and was called the kitchen.It is very large with a huge stone chimney at one end with cupboards at each side.The next part to be erected was the frame part, adjoining the part built of logs, which is now weatherboarded and has a separate stairway.When inquiry was made as to reason for two stairways with only a partition between them, the reply was that the German people had a superstition that if doors were cut after a house was built, someone would die.
A daughter of Henry and Susanna Sibler Miller was said to have married a Mr. Backster, whose first name was probably Jesse.
It might have been any one of their three daughters named above, (Susanna Catherine - Sarah - or Margaret) about whom practically nothing is known.
According to the Hebron Church Birth Register, Susanna Catherine Miller was born December 4, 1763.She was, thus, the sixth child of Henry and Susanna Miller.No date is given of her christening.Nothing definite is known of her, and there is, of course, the possibility that she died young and unmarried.She was confirmed on April 7, 1776.
In the account of the settlement of her father's estate, the following is noted:
"Cash paid to Jesse Backster, one of the legatees, 30 lbs."
Since the proceeds from the sale of Henry I's property was, by his will, to be divided between his widow and their daughters, the above Jesse Backster was evidently representing one of the daughters as her husband, as was the custom in those days.That daughter could have been either Susanna, Sarah, or Margaret, and could have died before her father.Or she may have been living and the other tow apparently died before their father's settlement.
A John Baxter lived in Fauquier County, Virginia, USA, in 1748.
Frances Carter Smith, a Miller descendant, said that she was "almost certain" that the Backsters went North to live, but gave no reason for thinking so.
====================================================================================================================
One Miller family in the Germanna community was that of Henry and Susanna Miller who moved to Virginia from Pennsylvania, USA after several of their children were born.This was not long before the Revolution.According to family tradition, Henry was a tanner.More is known about the origins of Susanna than for Henry.She came to Philadelphia bringing with her a "birth certificate" which was preserved within the family.The certificate states she was born 21 Feb 1731, the daughter of Michael Sibler citizen and master carpenter and of Barbara who were Evangelic Lutheran parents in legal and honest wedlock.Susanna was born at Auerbach and the birth was recorded at nearby Langensteinbach (both in Baden).The certificate was dated 7 April 1752 which broadly fixes her arrival date.The children of Henry and Susanna are recorded in the Hebron Church Register but there are problems within in the data.The only sponsors who are clearly Germanna people start with the twins, George and Margaret, in 1772.Apparently, some of the older children, who were born in Pennsylvania, USA, were baptized in Pennsylvania, USA.One of the later children, Sophia, is stated to have been baptized in Lancaster. [Most likely in the Cocalico townships in the northern part of the county-JVB.]Thus they were maintaining their ties to Pennsylvania, USA.Henry Miller purchased land in Culpeper County, later Madison County, on 16 April 1776 and on 7 Sep 1776 he added 50 more acres.This land is described as being on the Robinson River near the Hebron Church.In 1780 he bought 1536 acres at the foot of Peaked Mountain in what later became Rappahannock County.He died at his home in Madison County in June of 1801.His will had been witnessed in 1796 and it was settled in November of 1807.Of his twelve children (there are only eleven in the Register), nine were still living as was Susanna.The information being presented here comes from Louise Keyser Cockey in an article in Beyond Germanna (vol. 1, n. 5). She is the co-author of "History of the Descendants of Charles Keyser and Henry Miller."About 220 pages are devoted to the descendants of Henry Miller.Henry is said to have had a brother George who, with his wife Mary Margaret, has three children recorded in the Register.Again, these children were probably baptized in Pennsylvania, USA.One reason for the unusual baptisms recorded for the children of Henry and George is that when the Register was rewritten in 1775, it was written not a history of what had been done at Hebron but as a description of the current situation in 1775.Thus the baptism of the first Miller children was entered, not because they had been baptized at Hebron but because the rewritten Register was telling the new pastor that the children had been baptized.
HENRICH MILLER CHANGED HIS NAME TO HENRY.HENRICH WAS IN THE ARMY OF FREDERICK THE GREAT OF PRUSSIA INSULTED AN OFFICER AND FLED TO KEEP FROM BEING HANGED.HENRY ARRIVED IN PHILADELPHA ON THE SHIP "PATIENCE OR PATIENA" AT AN AGE OF 21.HENRY WENT INTO THE TANNING BUSINESS IN GERMANTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
The Haines records state in more Complimentary terms, However, that Henry Miller came to America about 1750 and settled near Philadelphia.A few years later he married Sussanna Sibler of Germany at Germantown, Pa. where they lived a while and then went to Bucks County Pa, to live, later migrating to Culpeper County (now that part called Madison County) on the Robinson river.Still later they moved to that part of Culpeper County (now known as Rappahannock County (near Little Washington) and founded his home.

Biography of Henry Miller and Susanna Sibler
Added by sharonwilson8614 on 12 Jun 2009
Original submitter is from rootsweb.com author: Cathi Clore Frost.
One of the later families to the Robinson River community in Culpeper Co., VA was that of Henry and Susanna Miller who arrived not long before the Revolutionary War. the origins of Susanna are known. She came to Philadelphia bringing with her a "birth certificate" which was preserved within the family. The certificate state she was born 21 FEB 1731, the daughter of Michael Sibler citizen and master carpenterand of Barbara who were Evengelic Lutheran parents in legal and honest wedlock. She was born at Auerbach and the birth was recorded at Langensteinbach (both in Baden). The certificate was made 07 APR 1752 which broadly fixes her arrival date. (the small village of Auerbach is about one mile east of Karlsbad).
The origins of Henry Miller are obscure. Family tradition has him as an immigrant to Philadelphia about 1748. The tradition continues that he lived in Pennsylvania, USA until shortly before the Revolution. One proven association with Pennsylvania, USA is that the daughter Sophia is recorded at the hebron Lutheran Church of Culpeper Co., VA as being baptised in Lancaster in 1771. However, children older than Sophia have baptismal sponsors who are known residents of Culpeper Co., VA.
Henry Miller purchased land in Culpeper Co., later Madison Co., on 16 APR 1776 on 07 SEP 1776 he added 50 more acres. This land is described as being on the Robinson River near the Hebron Church. In 1780 he hought 1536 acres at the foot of Peaked Mountain in what later became Rappahannock County. He is said to have operated tannieries in both Pennsylvania, USA and Virginia. he died at his home in Madison Co. in June of 1801. his will had been witnessed in 1796 and it was settled in November of 1807. Of his twelve children, nine were still living as was Susanna.
A Henry Miller from CulpeperCo. enlisted in the Revolutionary War at the Chesterfield Court House on 10 JUL 1780 (Register 21, Vol. 1 of "Papers concerning the Army of the REvolution", manuscript in Virginia State Library). He was described: 53 years old; 5 feet, 5 inches in height; black hair, dark complexion; hazel eyes. To judge by the age of Susannah, this Henry Miller would be of the correct age for the sudject of this note. According to the enlistment record, Henry was born at "Keipoltz". this might be indentified with the Palatinate along the Rhine.
