some valuable information on the family.

20 Nov. 1769

"A Petition of Harmon Miller was presented to the House, and read; setting forth, that a

Ferry from the Petitioner's Land, on the South Side of Dan River, to the Land of James Le

Grand, on the other Side, would br very convenient to Travellers and others; and

therefore praying that a Ferry may be established at that place.

Ordered, that the said petition be referred to the Committee of Propositions and Grievances;

and that they do examine the Matter thereof, and report the same, with their Opinion

thereupon, to the House."

10 Dec. 1769

"Resolved, That is the opinion of this Committee, that the petition of Harmon Miller,

Praying that a Ferry may be established from his land on the South Side of Dan River, in

Halifax County, across the said River, to the land of James Legrand, on the opposite Side,

is reasonable."

From: Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1766 -- 1769, Pages 274 & 371;

Edited by John Pendleton Kennedy.

[This is "Miller's Ferry" as appears in Halifax County records, and was operated by

Harman, brother of John Frederick Miller. James LeGrand owned property along

Difficult Creek, and Dan River to the South. Little Toby Creek (not shown on this map) is

where John Frederick Miller was living (1757 and onward), and is located just to the west

of Birch Creek, both creeks flowing into Dan River. -- CM]

Map of 1751, showing the area where John Frederick Miller initially settled. His first

land entry (1748) was on the North Branch of Mayo River. In 1749, he also acquired lands

on Horsepasture Creek; and later on Stones Creek, a small tributary of Horsepasture Cr.,

shown on the map as just north of Wart Mountain. The Great Wagon Road, coming from

Pennsylvania, through the Shennandoah Valley came by, or through his lands in southern

Virginia, as shown above. The dotted line on the map represents the Virginia/North

Carolina border. Later on, John Frederick also acquired 400 acres of land on Spoon Creek,

a tributary of the South Fork of Mayo River where his brother-in-law, Haman Critz had

settled in 1748.

The first Herman Miller above, was actually Harman, son of John Frederick. For some

reason, JFM's eldest son, Haman, does not appear on this list. Jacob Miller, with slaves

Moroco and Sal, was the son of Herman (Harman), brother of John Frederick Miller.

This Harman was the one who operated the Ferry on Dan River.

Willliam Miller above appears to have been the son of Harman Miller, who is known to

have had a son named, William R. Miller. Harman and William paid their tax on the same

day. Unlike later census records, tax list, for the most part, were in alphabetical order, so

do not necessarily indicate a geographical relationship between those on the lists.

18 July Martin Miller Junr. 1-0-0-1 Tax $ .12

A Martin Miller Junr. mysteriously appears on this tax list. Martin Miller, who had

appeared in previous lists, consistently shows up as the only white tithable in his household.

A Martin Jr. (being 21 years of age as an independent tithable), should have appeared in

Martin Miller (Sr.'s) household in prior years. Except in the very earliest tax records,

tithables within a household were white males above 16 years of age, which were

enumerated with each list.

Martin Miller Junr. , of the 1801 list, is not present by name, however, Obediah Miller, a

new name is shown to pay his tax on the same day as Martin, though no tax seems to be due.

Though shown as an independent tithable, he may have been living in Martin Miller's

household. It's possible that Obediah may have been the middle name of Martin Miller Jr.

In 1800, Martin is shown with six horses. In 1801, he has five and Martin Jr. has one. In

this list Martin has four horses and Obediah has none. In 1803, Martin has six horses and

Obediah again has one.

Daniel Bird Miller Ancestry, Family and Descendants

beverly1956 (View posts)

Posted: 15 Aug 2007 2:07PM

Classification: Query

Surnames: MILLER, McCLURE

I am seeking information on Daniel Bird Miller and his family which I have listed below.

Daniel was found in census there in 1833 and died in Campbell Township of Green County

in 1839. I have no other information on Daniel or his wife Elizabeth. Anything would be

very appreciated.

Daniel and Elizabeth had two children, see below. I believe that their daughter, Loanzia W.

Miller, was my great, great grandmother. She was the first wife of Frank or Francis A.

McClure of Dade County, MO. Together they had one child, Dialphia or Dialtha Elvira

McClure, who married William Marshall Young. Frank and Louanza's names appear in

the Dade County Deed Index, dated April 10, 1850, as selling their farm. Apparently soon

after they left in a wagon train to California. It seems that Louanza may have died and was

buried on the trail to California. Sometime in the next few years before 1860, after his

return from California, Frank married again to Harriet M. Taylor Wells, recent widow of

F. John Wells, of Dade County. More info is available on Harriet if needed.

As there is listed below information on Daniel and Elizabeth's son Eldridge Boyd Miller, I

am hoping that I may make contact with his descendants.

Eldridge was born in 1821 in Tennessee, however, I do not have a birth date or location for

his sister, Loanzia or my gggrandmother, Louanza.

Again, anything that you could share on Daniel Bird Miller, his ancestry, his family and

descendats would be very appreciated.

Don't know if this will be helpful, but my Miller family comes from Madison County and

Jefferson County Alabama and the name Eldridge is a very significant name in this line.

Don't know if you can connect to Alabama, but am willing to send you information if you

wish.

From: Deeds of Amherst County, Virginia, 1761-1807 and Albemarle County, 1748-1763

by Rev. Bailey Fulton Davis

Copyright 1979 by: The Rev Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr.

Page 253. 4 Feb 1793. (page 278, original page number)

"MARTIN MILLER, Halifax -- Power of Attorney to JOSEPH LANE, Amherst County, to

handle my father's estate of which I am an executor in Amherst County. Wit: WILLIAM P

MARTIN, ELIZABEH MARTIN, WILLIAM SMITH, JOHN MATTHEWS, WILLIAM

LAINE."

Page 287. 7 Dec. 1793 (page 401, original page number)

"Martin Miller, Halifax, to Chas. Statham, AC. for £ 15, 200 acres both sides Dutch Creek.

Line Wm. Cabell Sr., Thos Nash (?) Stone, Thos Joplin. Orig. sent to CS 19 Nov. 1799 per

order. Wit: Danl. Wilson, Thos Nash, Archibald Douglass."

The above conveyance on Dutch Creek, was in Amherst County, Virginia at the time it was

executed. It is now in Nelson County, after the creation of that county in 1807. Located

several miles east of Lovingston, the county seat. At this time, it is not clear if the power of

attorney given to Joseph Lane of Amherst County, in Feb. 1793, is related to the sale of the

200 acres of land there by Martin Miller, in December of that year; or if Martin Miller

owned the property aside from his position of executor of his father's Will. This property,

prior to being in Amhrest County, was in Albemarle County, which in turn was created

from Goochland County. The latter county contained the property in 1739, at the time

John Frederick Miller arrived in America. No record has been found to date as to how and

when John Frederick, or Martin Miller acquired the 200 acres in Amherst County, which

Martin Miller, sold in 1793.

...................................................................

Mary Douglas Miller, daughter of Martin Miller of Halifax County Virginia, was married

to (?) Overstreet, per Martin Miller's Will (1814). Unconfirmed sourecs state that there

was a Thomas and Judith (Walker) Overstreet family living in Halifax County 1793-1808,

which had a son named Benjamin b. ca 1784, who married a Mary Miller, b. ca. 1795. This

family is found in the 1850 Marion County, Ky Census. They were the parents of a son,

also named Benjamin, who married Elizabeth (?). They in turn had a daughter, named,

Mary D. Overstreet; also a son Fredrick M. Overstreet (1860 Taylor County, Ky Census).

Mary (Miller) Overstreet died during the 1850's; not being in the Census with her husband

in the 1860 Taylor County, Ky. Census.

CHAPTER II

Other Settlements In Southwest Missouri, Before The Organization Of Greene County-Kickapoo

And Other Small Indian Tribes.

"In February, 1830, J. P. Campbell and his brother-in-law, Joseph Miller, fixed up with their

small families, and set out for Kickapoo prairie. Mr. C.'s family consisted of himself, wife and

one child, Tabitha, then not a year old, who was afterward the mother of Lula, wife of Frank

Sheppard. Mr. Miller's family consisted of himself and wife and two children. Rufus was one

year old, and John, who is now a citizen of Ritchey, was twelve. They also had Six darkies,

one five horse team and one Derbin wagon which was driven by John. (Madison C. did not move

until 1832)....

They journeyed via Nashville and Hopkinsville, crossing the Ohio at Golconda, thence over the

south end of Illinois to Green's old ferry on the Mississippi. It being in February, they

encountered great difficulties in crossing on the quantities of floating ice, but after making

several trips across the river in an old, rickety piece of a flat, the wind being high and cold, they

succeeded in landing safe on the Missouri side; thence they were obliged to almost cut their own

road, but onward they went toward the West, by old Jackson in Cape Girardeau county, stopping

one day to rest at old Col. Abram Byro's, five miles west of Jackson. Thence they proceeded on

to Farmington, in St. Francois county, and by Caledonia, in Washington county, which was the

last town, and it only contained one little store and two or three dozen inhabitants. Then on west,

with scarcely any road, to the present site of Steeleville, in Crawford County, and on twelve

miles further to Massey's iron works, which had not been in operation but a very short time, and

so on to where Rolla now stands. Twelve miles farther on, they came to old Jimmey Harrison's ,

at the mouth of Little Piney, on the Gasconade, about four hundred yards south of the present

Gasconade bridge. Mr. Harrison kept a little store for the accommodation of the few settlers up

and down the Piney and the Gasconade ; that was also the courthouse for the whole of Southwest

Missouri. and so it was the only post office until 1832. Thence west twenty miles brought them

across the Pig Piney on to Roubideaux, now Waynesville, in Pulaski County. Continuing their

journey, they went up the Gasconade river to the mouth of the Osage fork, where they found a

few white settlers --some of the Starks, Ballous, Tygarts, O'Neals, and one old `Jim Campbell,'

who was sheriff of all of Southwest Missouri. This was in the neighborhood of the present

Oldland Post office. From there they came on to Cave Spring, where they crossed the Osage fork,

leaving it at the old Barnett place, from which they came to Pleasant prairie, now Marshfield,

and striking James fork 20 miles east, thence down to Jerry Peirson's, where he had built a little

water mill at a spring just below the Danforth place ; then on west they struck the Kickapoo

prairie one mile east of the present Joe Merritt place ; thence five miles more brought them to the

natural well a short distance north of the present public square of Springfield. Here they

first camped on the night of the 4th of March, 1830....

23]

In the meantime, Uncle Billy Fulbright had got about three weeks ahead of them, and stopped at

the Fulbright Spring. His brother, John Fulbright, had settled at the spring where Capt. Geo. M.

Jones now lives, and had a cabin up ;and his brother-in-law, A. J. Burnett, had succeeded in

putting up a small oak-pole cabin l2x15, just on the spot of the old `Squire Burden residence. a

little west of Mr. McElhany's. Mr. Campbell having had rather the oldest claim, by his name

being cut en an ash tree at the well, Mr. Burnett gave way and went and commenced an

improvement five miles east, at the Merritt place. Both Miller's and Campbell's families then

moved into the pole cabin, the negroes having a good cloth tent to live in. This cabin had a

splendid dirt floor....

[29]

Joseph Miller settled at the spring, a short distance southwest of the city, where Mr.

Beiderlinden has since lived, after which he sold out to Maj. Joseph Weaver, and removed to

Sac river, thirty miles northwest of this city. Mr. Weaver came in March, 1830, from Marshall

county, Tennessee, and first settled at the Delaware town, where he purchased and improved the

farm now known as the Porter place, upon which he lived until his removal to the above named

point. On this farm he remained three or four years before removing to the place known as the

Weaver grove, two-and-a half miles west of town. After one or two other removals, he died in

September, 1852, on the farm three miles northwest of the city....

Of his family of thirteen children, eleven were by his first wife, to whom he was married in

Georgia. His second wife, and the mother of his two younger daughters, was the widow of Dr.

Wm. Shackelford, who will hereafter be mentioned. Of the first family eight are still living, and

one of the second. Of these J. J, and E. L. Weaver, and the wives of J. L. Carson and J. M.

Griffith, all living in this city, are well and favorably known to most of our readers ; also another

son, Thomas J. Weaver, who lives at the Weaver Grove. One brother, R. B., and two sisters, are

living in Boone county, Arkansas, Mr. Weaver being at the present time the Representative of

that county in the State Legislature. Joseph J. Weaver has taken a prominent part in the affairs of

this city, having served two or three terms as Councilman from the Third Ward, and one year as

Mayor. ...

In 1831, Daniel B. Miller, a brother of Joseph, settled at what is still known as the Miller

spring. in the northwest part of the city. and which furnishes power in the form of steam for

the Springfield woolen mills. Here he made a field, which was afterward used as the Federal

burying ground. He also cleared a small field in the 'bottom," where the depot of the S. & .W.M.

R. R. now stands. Mr. Miller remained in Springfield until his death, which occurred in

January, 1839.

Early Settlement

Part 1

First Settlers

Major Joseph Weaver arrived in March, 1830, and bought out a settler near Delaware Town,

where he lived three or four years. He then came Springfield and purchased the farm of Joseph

Miller, the brother-in-law of J. P. Campbell, just southwest of the town. Mr. Miller had come in

with his brother-in-law some four years before selling to Weaver. Mr. Weaver lived on this place

some years, when he moved to a farm two and a half miles west where he died in 1852, His

numerous descendants have always held a prominent place in the history of both the city of

Springfield and of Greene county. [134]

In 1831 Daniel B. Miller, a brother of Joseph Miller, settled in the northwest part of what is

now Springfield, at a great spring, still called for him, "The Miller Spring." After serving as a

water supply for the first Springfield woolen mill, which enterprise, soon died and remained with

the brick building standing vacant for twenty years, this spring and a fine tract of land of twenty

acres is now being turned into a city park, with a beautiful lake of several acres. Mr. Daniel B.

Miller only survived some nine years, dying in 1839. Samuel Lasley came to Greene county

with Daniel B. Miller and settled on Little Sac at the crossing of the Bolivar road. Spencer

O'Neil, who had been one of the first men to take up claims in the Indian country, and had been

forced to move away with the others in 1822, now returned and settled in the southwestern part

of the county. Many of his descendants are citizens of Pond Creek, Republic and Brookline

townships to the present day.

History of the City of Springfield

Part 1

Chapter 1

"Joseph Miller settled at the spring, a short distance southwest of the city, after which he sold

out to Maj. Joseph Weaver, and removed to Sac river, thirty miles northwest of the city...

In 1831, Daniel B. Miller, a brother of Joseph, settled at what is still known as the Miller

spring in the northwest part of the city, and which furnishes power in the form of steam for the

Springfield woolen mills. Here he made a field which was afterward used as the Federal burying

ground. Mr. Miller remained in Springfield until his death, which occurred in January,

1839....

At the Miller spring is a disappeared graveyard of six or seven persons of the Miller family.

It is some eighty or one hundred yards east of the spring, may be a little southeast, now covered

over with houses and fences. I am very sure they have never been taken up. The graves were near

the foot of a solitary large black oak tree that then stood there, which was surrounded by a thick

growth of young oak sapplings or bushes. They were buried there in 1831, '32, '33, '34, '35

and '36.

About the middle of February, 1830, Wm. Fulbright, John Fulbright, and A. J. Burnett, from

Tennessee, settled near the Fulbright spring, and put up some cabins, built of small oak poles.

Previousty in the fall of 1829, John P. Campbell and his brother, Madison, Tennesseans also, had

"claimed" the land occupied by the Fulbrights, by cutting their names on some trees in the

vicinity of the spring. Returning to Tennessee, J. P. Campbell and his brother-in-law, Joseph

Miller, set out for Missouri in the month of February following, and on the evening of March 4th,

encamped near the "natural well," a little north of the former residence of R. J. McElhany. Mr.

Burnett having completed a cabin on the same site, and Mr. Campbell claiming priority of

ownership, evidenced by his initials on an ash tree near the "well," Mr. Burnett was compelled to

remove and readily gave away and removed five miles to the eastward. Messrs. Campbell and

Miller with their families, in all seven persons, took possession of the vacated cabin, 12x15 feet

in size, while their slaves, six in number, dwelt for a time in a stout, comfortable tent, which had

been used for sleeping quarters en route from Tennessee....

Among those who settled on and adjoining the present site in 1830 were Thomas Finney, Samuel

Weaver, and Joseph Miller. In the next year came Daniel B. Miller, Joseph Rountree, Signey S.

Ingram, Samuel Painter, and Junius T. Campbell. The latter opened a little store near where the

public school building is now. His stock, a small and by no means a varied one, was hauled from

Boonville. Mr. Campbell had a partner, one James Feland, an old Santa Fe trader....

The first settlers on the town site of Springfield were Wm. Fulbright, John Fulbright, A. J.

Burnett, John P. Campbell and Joseph Miller, in February and March, 1830.

The first house was a little pole cabin, built by A. J. Burnett, in January or February, 1830. It

stood on the hill a little south of the old "natural well," and a little northwest of the present brick

public school building, on Jefferson street. In size this cabin was 12x15 feet...A little later in the

year 1831, Frank Miller, a son of Joseph Miller, was born in a house which also stood near the

old well. He is now residing at San Diego, California. It is claimed, for these children, that they

were the first whites born in Greene county. The first death was that of a child of Joseph Miller,

in 1831. The body was buried under a large oak tree, near the Miller spring....Junius Rountree

married Martha Miller, a daughter of Joseph Miller then living about one and a half miles

west of Springfield, August 7, 1831. Not long afterwards Junius T. Campbell married Mary

Blackwell, at a house a mile and a half southwest of Springfield. These are believed to have been

the first marriages within the present limits of Greene county....The first school house was built

in 1832. It was of small logs and stood where is now the old Christian church (used at present as

a private residence), on the north side of College street, a little west of Main, and near where Gen.

Lyon's general headquarters were, and where his dead body lay. But the first school house

attended by children who then lived on the present site was built in 1831, and was also of small

logs. Of this school house, John H. Miller says it stood a mile and a quarter west of town, and

the first teacher was old uncle Joe Rountree; the pupils were Henry Fulbright and some of his

younger brothers, the Rountree boys, John Miller, J. J. Weaver, and his two older sisters,

Louisiana, late wife of Col. C. A. Haden, and Jane, mother of Joe Farrier, and a few others....

Chapter 33

Campbell Township

The first marriage in Campbell township, is said to have been the first marriage of white persons

in Southwest Missouri. It was that of Junius M. Rountree and Martha J. Miller, and the

marriage occurred August 7, 1831, at the house of the bride's father, Joseph H. Miller, in section

22, township 29, range 22. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Richard Kizee, a Baptist

minister. The groom was a son of old Joseph Rountree, and the bride a daughter of old Joe

Miller. The parties had been acquainted in Tennessee, the Rountree and Miller families being

from the same neighborhood."

The first court in the county was held in the. barn of Evan S. Polk, northwest of Huntsville about

one fourth of a mile.

The contractor was Evan S. Polk, who burned the brick on his farm adjoining the town. The cost

was about $4,000. This building was burned by northern vandals in 1863. The records were

taken to Springfield, Mo., and there lost or destroyed, in great part.

Early History.-The southern part of the town site was originally entered by George Sanders, by

whom the first house was built. The tract adjoining this on the north was entered by Evan S. Polk.

John Sanders, brother to George, seems to have been most actively interested in having the town

laid off. This was done in 1837 by Thomas McCuistion, county surveyor.
