Son of John Miller, a native of Scotland, who married and settled in Boston in 1710.
He experienced the power of religion under the ministry of
Dr. Sewall. Having studied theology with Mr. Webb, he was ordained in the old South Church in April, 1749, with a view to his establishment at Dover, where he was a minister more than 40 years, having the charge also of the church at Smyrna, twelve miles distant.
Among his many sons, all of whom engaged in the learned professions, were Edward Miller, and Samuel Miller, later one of the professors in the theological seminary at Princeton. Another son, a physician in the army, died in 1777. With a sound mind he was a good scholar, a faithful preacher, a great lover and maker of peace, and a centre of literary and religious influence.
