• Notes

  Taken from excerpts of a Miller Family Book (WFT #1326) Adam Miller was born in Virginia, Greenbrier County, on Muddy Creek Mountain. His father was the Henry Miller of these records and his mother was Barbara Arbaugh. He was born in 1806. Very likely he was named after his maternal grandfather, Adam Arbaugh, who was deceased about a half dozen years before Adam was born. Adam helped his father work on the farm and in the fields and woods. Adam remained in Virginia even after his father and many other members of his family left for Ohio to live. He stayed on for some years. Around 1847 he, with his family, moved to Symmes Township of Lawrence County, Ohio. He was the father of 13 known children, five by his first wife and eight by the second. He was a farmer by trade, and a member of the Methodist Church at Buffalo called Rehobeth. To this he was faithful. His neighbors always remembered him, even in his declining years being so punctual to pass by their homes with black hat and cane going to church. Three or more of his sons served in the Civil War. His son Harvey went, but did not return. Adam owned land in section four of Symmes, and the name Miller Hollow is used where he used to live. It is a branch off of Caulley Creek.
