John Miller was the son of Andrew and Rachel Miller, who came from Germany some time before the Revolutionary War to settle in what is now known as Frederick County, Maryland.
He married Hannah Freese (Freeze) and they had nine children. Three children, Elizabeth Miller Grimes, Jacob and William Miller emigrated to Jay County, Indiana where they stayed for the rest of their lives. Five children: Catherine Miller Byler, John, Jessie, Noah and Andrew Miller are buried at Haugh's Cemetery. Another child, Mary Miller Rouzer-Norris is buried at Mt. Tabor Cemetery, Rocky Ridge. It was at age 16, in 1781, that John Miller enlisted as a private in the Revolutionary War and served until 1783. He, along with others, marched to Annapolis after enlisting. At 26, he received a patent for 172 acres of land which he purchased from George Brown of Baltimore Co. This tract had been an original grant to Charles Carroll of Carrollton. It became the family homestead, near Haugh's Church, on the road leading to New Midway. Over the years he became a prosperous farmer and acquired several tracts of land. A bronze memorial was recently dedicated to his service as a Revolutionary War soldier, by the Frances Scott Key Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Washington in Haugh's Cemetery, Frederick County.
