Thanks for posting some basics about Nicanor Miller. Here are a few more details about him, apparently the youngest child of Philip Miller and Dorcas (Smith) Miller. He was born 24 June 1813 as per The Felt genealogy: a record of the descendants of George Felt of Casco Bay.
He married first Marvania Beede, daughter of Aaron S. Beede who lived in Keene at the time of his daughter's death in 1854. They had four children. He married second Ellen Jane Goff, daughter of David and Polly (Felt) Goff. They had two daughters. Nicanor was first a "bloomer" or iron worker but later was a hotel keeper.
He died 25 June 1887 in Keene, again as noted in The Felt Genealogy. He is listed as one of the children of Philip and Dorcas Miller in Smith papers, Volume 5, Issues 1-22, 1984. There are other references in Essex County books.
