Pioneer Sketches
The John Miller Family of Ohio
This page includes sketches I have compiled from my family history research
for my own use. I am posting them on the Internet in the interest of sharing
this information with interested parties. If you appear to be directly related,
based on the information in the the sketches, or have comments to share with
me about these sketches, I would be happy to hear from you. I do not do research
for others, nor am I particularly interested in speculative relationships or
unrelated surname discussions. There are many other worthy sites for these activities.
I hope you enjoy reading some of these interesting stories.

John Miller was a native of Pennsylvania, but came to Richland
County, Ohio, at an early day. In 1835 he entered 160 acres of wild land

land now known as teh Grisier farm immediately adjoining Bryan. In 1876
he moved to Waterloo, Indiana, where he remained five years, returning in
1881 to Edgerton where he continued to reside until his death.
John Miller was never a prominent man, but he was a most excellent
