My notes on Henry MILLER:

FIFTH GENERATION

Henry Miller was probably born around 1743 in Frederick County, Maryland. He is listed in the
Provincial Census of Frederick County, Maryland of 1776 as being 33 years of age. On 29 Aug. 1769 he
sold to Peter Nafdzeegar 200 acres of land called "Huckleberry Bottom" for 288 Pounds in Pennsylvania
currency. He was granted this land by a patent dated 25 Mar. 1761. On 20 June 1770 he bought from
Ludwig Roderick 404 acres of land for 450 Pounds Sterling. This land was part of a tract of land
called "Resurvey of Stony Hill" and "Addition to Stony Hill" and "Johnson's Struggle". Henry Miller
is described as a blacksmith in the deed. 
On 20 Feb. 1773 Henry Miller bought for one shilling current money of Maryland Lot No. 72 in
Elizabeth Town in Frederick County. It had belonged to Jonathan Hager and was 82 feet by 240 feet and
had a current rent of 6 shillings 6 pence annually. On 1 Par. 1775, shortly after Paul Revere's ride,
Henry Miller sold to Flex Souther this lot for 72 Pounds "current and lawful money of the Province of
Pennsylvania". On 18 Aug. 1785 Henry Miller, Valentine Null, Windle Null, Philip Crouse and other
joined in a boundary agreement delineating the boundaries of their various tracts of land. On 31 Oct.
1785 Henry Miller sold to Valentine Null the tract of land whereon he lived for 100 Pounds gold or
silver. This tract of land was part of a tract of land called "Addition to Brooke's Discovery on the
Rich Lands". The acreage was not specified. Henry Miller married Catherine ---. He lived in Frederick
County before moving to Fayette County, Pennsylvania. His will is dated 11 Mar. 1793, proved 24 May
1793 and is as follows: 

"In the Name of God, I Henry Miller being weak in Body, but in sound Mind and Memory calling to Mind
