John Miller moved from the area of the South Branch of the Potomac River to Wellsburg, Virginia/West Virginia probably around 1770. He, at the beginning of the 19th century, made his home near Green Bottom in Cabell County, Virginia/West Virginia. He was a devoutly religious man who had a secret place for prayer in a deep ravine behind his cabin.
John Miller, in 1803, at the age of about seventy, petitioned the Baltimore Conference for a Methodist Church and a preacher for the area around the mouth of the Guyandotte River. He walked and visited all of the families on both sides of the Ohio River between the mouth of the Big Sandy River and Gallipolis, Ohio and gathered around 300 signatures. His efforts were rewarded with a church that started in the home of Jessie Spurlock and now that church is known as the historic Guyandotte United Methodist Church in Guyandotte, Huntington, West Virginia.
John moved to the Ohio side of the Ohio River opposite Green Bottom with his daughter, Susan Miller Drouillard and family, to spend his remaining days near his sons near Millersport.
The exact burial places of John and his wife, Eleanor (Ellen) are unknown since their graves are unmarked. It is known that they were buried on the bank of the mouth of Federal Creek near their cabin.
