FROM THE HISTORY OF HILLSDALE COUNTY 1879:
JAMES H. MINER. Sylvester S. Miner, the father of our subject, was a native of Connecticut. He was engaged the most of his life in teaching, both in the common branches and singing. In early life was united in marriage to Miss Ruby Bennett, and soon after removed to Otsego Co., N. Y., where he remained until 1819, and then removed to Ontario County, in the same State
In 1839 he emigrated to Michigan, and settled in the township of Pittsford, Hillsdale Co., where he remained until his death, which occurred at eighty-three years of age, having survived his wife's death ten years. They were the parents of eight children, named Herkimer B., Homer L., Mary A., James H., Lorinda L., John N., Cornelia V., and George W., who are all living and married.
James H. Miner was born in Otsego Co., N. Y., on the 11th day of April, 1811, and his boyhood was spent in attending the common schools, and later he worked out by the month and job, remaining under the control and supervision of his parents until he reached his majority; from this time on until he was twenty-five years old he labored for himself, working out and jobbing. At this time he was united in marriage to Miss Maria C. Spencer, daughter of George Spencer, an old settler of Farmington, Ontario Co. From that time until 1841 he worked farms on shares. In 1838 he was bereaved in the death of his wife, leaving him alone in the care of two small children.
On Feb. 19, 1840, he filled the vacancy in his household by uniting in marriage with Miss Phebe Dillon, daughter of Benjamin Dillon, an old resident of Farmington.
In 1841, Mr. Miner decided to move out West and secure a farm and home of his own. He came to Michigan and purchased a wild lot in the township of Pittsford, Hillsdale Co., which has been his home ever since. His farm now consists of one hundred acres. Here he has lived and labored, cleared up his farm, reared his family, and is today in the quiet enjoyment of a comfortable independence, good health, and the respect and esteem of a large circle of fRiends and acquaintances; a man of generous impulses, unflinching integrity, and sound judgment; an influential citizen, possessing the entire confidence of his fellow-townsmen, as may be seen in the fact that he is now serving the fifth consecutive term as magistrate.
He is the father of seven children,- Jane A. (who died in infancy) and Irvin S. were children by his first marriage, and by his second are Austin D., Orlando L., Maria J., Herkimer L., and Lorinda L. Austin was a soldier for the Union, and was killed in the battle of Chancellorsville, May 4, 1863. All the others are living and married except Herkimer, who is in business at St. Louis, Mo.
