Gayen Miller is thought to be a son of Robert & Elizabeth Miller (OR, John Miller 1633-1714 and Ann Clibborn 1630-1675). He was a farmer and a Quaker, who married about 1695 to Margaret Henderson, daughter of William & Katherine Henderson. Margaret died in 1743.
In 1702, Gayen purchased from James Logan, attorney for William Penn, 200 acres on the east branch of Red Clay Creek, including what in 1936 was the northeast quarter of the town of Kennett Square, PA. In 1714-15, he was a member of the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly. In 1707, he was one of the founders of Kennett Meeting. They purchased a piece of ground in 1710, and built a meeting house. Prior to that, the meetings were held in Gayen Miller's house.
Gayen & Margaret had 12 children: James, William, Robert, Sarah, Mary, Patrick, Samuel, Elizabeth, Joseph, Benjamin, John, & George--who married out of meeting (to a non-Quaker).
