Biography titled -"The Miller Family" written by Oscar G. Miller; (G-G-G-Grandson of Immigrant Jacob Miller)
Mr. Oscar Miller said in his book;" Jacob Miller was born in Germany about the year 1702. When he was 12 years old he came to America and settled near the city of Philadelphia. From the best and most authentic records in our famly tradition it is stated that he met a young lady by the name of Miller on the ship on which he came to America. She was not related to him, and came from another part of Germany. Thus thrown together on a long journey in a slow sailing vessel that was in common use in those days, they became well aquainted and despite the fact that one of them spoke High German while the other spoke Low, their acquaintance grew and ripened into a very ardent affection and in the year 1725 they were married. For many years they lived together on a farm about thirty miles from Philadelphia near a place called Falkner's Swamp. Seven children were born to them."
From the D.A.R. application of Aline Fenner Kempton the name of the immigrant Jacob Miller's wife was Catherine (Mueller) Miller. b. Ger. and died aft.1768.
Jacob's death date of 1768 in Augusta County, VA.
