Abraham Miller lived 2.5 miles straight west of Bentley Potter, whose farm was just west of
Wilson's and adjacent to it. The Potters were in the next township east of Abraham Miller. The farms are all located straight east of Leavenworth, Kansas, and were probably on the first road in the county, the military road from Liberty, MO (in Clay County) to Fort Leavenworth.
In those days when the entire county population was only a few hundred, that's practically next door.
Bentley and Wilson Potter are brothers of Annie Potter who married abt 1831 James Harvey Miller in Cocke County, Tennessee. They are children of James Potter, Revolutionary War soldier.
The Plat Map for Platte County, MO indicates Abraham's land in Carroll twp and Potters if May Twp. The census records indicate him to be in Pettis Twp. The twp lines may have changed somewhat during the course of years of settlement and may not coincide with the enumeration districts of the census records.
