WENDEL MILLER b.abt.1729 raised his children in Rowan County. His son Frederick b.1756 m Margaret Braun da of Michal Braun. I believe his son James b 1791 is my line. He m Sarah Zink. He had a son Thomas b1831 which is the fa of my grandfather Silas Johnson Miller. If anyone has proof or other information for me. I would greatly appreciate it.
I got these informative replies from her:

Hi John, We got most of our information from the book about Wendel, one of the authors was Geraldine Trexler Miller. I think the name was the life of Wendell Miller. It is out of print and copyrighted but I got permission from Geraldine to copy our line. It is a large green book. I found this book in the LDS library in Salt Lake City Utah. It is a great library to do research. One of the best in the world. The proof of the Rev. war was his Government dedication marker by the Daughters of the American Revolution. They called him a Revolutionary Soldier and Patriot. Wendel had 8 children by the Indian lady and 7 by his 2nd wife Christina, Also a child that was Christinas. The book also states that John J. born in 1766 the seventh child of Wendel Miller m Elizabeth Lentz the da of Dewalt Lentz. They were parents of 8 children who took as there wives and husbands members of the Fisher, Holshouser, Knup,Beaver,Josey and Brown families. Four of these children married Brown cousins or neighbors. Cousins were permitted to marry at that time. There is more info on him if you want me to send it. My line that I got from the book and I hope is correct is Wendel- Frederick- James-Thomas-Silas- Edward Earl- Fay(me). My sister and I have been researching different lines in the family. We were so excited when we found this book and it mentioned. We have absolute proof from Thomas on down. Tell your wife we are also light with blue eyes but have one brother with dark eyes and hair. Indian blood maybe???.....Fay
Hi John, I have more on Wendel if you can get your hands on the book it is a great source. Geraldine Trexler Miller is only one of the authors. Here is a bit on Wendel. Miller was middle aged when the revolution began, He was no young hothead,radical, but saw liberty and freedom from the British Empire as a desirable thing for his countrymen. He was a Leutenent in Capt. Bergers Co in the NC Militia from 1776-1781. Wendel was one of the wealthiest men in Rowan Cty. One of his sons served under him in the Rev. war....Fay

I then discovered that my wife's sister has one of these huge hard-bound books on Wendel Miller. I copied what I have here from that book. JW
One site has his parents as Wendle Miller and Anna Maria Lingel, who lived and died in Germany. No dates or sources were given.
Christina FISHER was born about 1740. She married Wendel MILLER.
Was a widow with one child from this first marriage. Not known at this time if Fisher was her maiden name or the name of her first husband. Wendell had 7 children by this second wife.
In the name of God, Amen.
