Hans Georg Koch <br>(Note: glw; from Ancestry Immigration Records)</p><p>In 1775, the outbreak of the Indian Wars led them to move to the Town Fork (Rowan County) in North Carolina. They were Moravians and refuged with the Moravians at their settlement of Bethabara during the worst of the Indian troubles. </p><p>Johannes (aka John Miller) Muller was born in the state of Pennsylvania.&nbsp; At the time there were only three counties in Pennsylvania,&nbsp; Bucks, Chester and Philadelphia.&nbsp; His parents emigrated to America from Bergelbach, Nassau (A former independent German duchy).&nbsp; Johannes and Maria Faber Muller moved from Pennsylvania and settled on the New River in Virginia.&nbsp; Because of Indian uprisings they moved from Virginia and moved to the area known as Town Forks, North Carolina, located along the forks section of the Yadkin River in Rowan County.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was in Rowan County that John (Johannes) converted to the Moravian religion.&nbsp; Davidson County was formed from a portion of Rowan County which included this region of&nbsp; Friedberg and Muddy Creek&nbsp; where the Millers lived.</p><p>Johannes Miller and his family is said to come from Salem, North Carolina with a party of Moravians upon the advise of friendly Indians in that area. When the Indian hostilities flared up, Johannes decided to return to Pennsylvania. (This was during the time of the Revolutionary War.) On his journey to Pennsylvania, Johannes had a great deal of trouble while trying to cross one very swollen river. After the War, he returned to Salem and was astonished to learn that the friendly Indians had followed him all the way from Salem to Pennsylvania. They had protected him from harm because they liked him so much. </p><p>Johannes and Maria had a plantation on Muddy Creek in Rowan County, North Carolina and they were the parents of thirteen children. </p><p>Marriage 1 Maria Magdalena Faber&nbsp; b: 14 Jun 1735 in Pennsylvania <br>Married 1749, Pennsylvania</p><p>Children:<br>Heinrich Miller&nbsp;&nbsp; b: 23 Oct 1751<br>Michael Miller&nbsp; b: 31 Oct 1753<br>Sarah Miller&nbsp; b: 18 Oct 1755<br>Maria Miller&nbsp; b: 20 Oct 1757 in , North Carolina<br>Susanna Miller&nbsp; b: 21 Jan 1761<br>Johannes Miller&nbsp; b: 9 Mar 1763 in Muddy Creek, Rowan, North Carolina<br>Valentine &quot;Felty&quot; Miller&nbsp; b: 18 Sep 1766 in , North Carolina<br>Catharine\a &quot;Kate&quot; Miller&nbsp; b: 27 Dec 1769 in , North Carolina<br>Christina Miller&nbsp; b: 17 Mar 1771 in , Rowan, North Carolina<br>Joseph Miller&nbsp; b: 1 Mar 1773 in , North Carolina<br>Johann Jacob Miller&nbsp; b: 24 Aug 1775<br>Jonathan Miller&nbsp; b: 28 Dec 1776 in , North Carolina<br>David Miller&nbsp; b: 28 Dec 1776 in , North Carolina</p><p>Johannes Muller had a son named Henry Miller and I believe this is the descent of the property of Mavis Weaver.&nbsp; (glw)</p><p>He also had thirteen children ranging&nbsp; from Henry the oldest of 1751 to the youngest, Jonathan, in 1776 who had a twin brother, David.&nbsp; The names of the children of Johannes and Maria Muller were handed down from generation to generation.&nbsp; They were:&nbsp; Jonathan, Henry, Michael, Sarah, Susanna, John Miller, Jr., Valentine, Catherine, Joseph, Johann Jacob, and David Miller.&nbsp; From my observations, if for some reason, a brother could not pass on his own name, his brother would pass it down for him to one of his children.&nbsp; This was the case all through the Weaver--Miller tree.&nbsp; </p><p>John Miller was listed on the 1768 Rowan County, NC tax list.<br>Johanne and his family (John) became members of the Friedberg Society, Moravian Church, when it was organized in 1770.&nbsp; this church is just across the Rowan County border in what is now Davidson County.</p><p>John Miller is listed on the 1773 Rowan County tax list and taxed for 3 polls, himself and sons, Henry and Michael Miller.</p><p>On February 12, 1780, John Miller made his will in Rowan County, NC.&nbsp; He mentioned his wife but didn&#39;t list her name.&nbsp; He named his oldest son Henry and son Michael.&nbsp; He also named John Henry Miller, his grandson.&nbsp; According to the Moravian records, John and his wife had 13 children. Some researchers say he died on the 9th of February but we know from when he made his will this is not true.</p><p>Census Records are from 1790, 1800.<br>Cemetery Records:&nbsp; Maria Magdelena Faber Miller died in 1813 in Rowan County.&nbsp; She is buried at Friedberg where John is buried but not near him.&nbsp; Her tombstone says, &quot;Maria Muller D: 1813.<br>This family Tree:&nbsp; Geneva White/Weaver-Miller-Greer Lines&nbsp; </p><p>Other Miller Records:</p><p>Much data is recorded about this family in &quot;The Millers of Ashe County, NC&quot; by Danny L. Miller as well as in the Moravian records of North Carolina. His Moravian Obituary (called a &quot;Lebenslauf&quot;) contains some very interesting information on John and his family. Thanks to Cecilia Brown for sharing a transcription of the Lebenslauf, and thanks to Danny Miller for his work on this family.&nbsp;&nbsp; Source:&nbsp; This is taken from the Marty Grant web site.&nbsp; It is a different kind of web site in that most of the information is presented in bits and pieces and the real proof seems missing in places.&nbsp; It has been very helpful along with Phoebe&#39;s information in establishing a genealogy and a direction for finding the records to prove it.&nbsp; (Marvin Grant Web Site furnished much information on this family gathered from many records and people.)</p><p>&quot;Johannes Muller (later &quot;John Miller&quot;) was born 25 Mar 1726 (per his obituary) in Pennsylvania (per obituary). I don&rsquo;t know what county he was born in, but in 1726 there were only three counties in Pennsylvania: Bucks, Chester and Philadelphia. These counties were much larger then than they are now, but John must have been born within the bounds of one of them.&quot; (Marvin Grant)</p><p>John married Maria Magdelena Faber in 1746 (per obituary) presumably in Pennsylvania. Her parents were Michael Faber and Sarah Meinhert formerly of Baden, Germany. </p><p>&quot;At some point after marriage the family moved to New River which rises in Western NC and flows north into south Western Virginia. I&rsquo;m not sure where they lived exactly along that river, but by 1755 the French and Indian War drove them to Bethebara, the Moravian Settlement in what was then Rowan County, North Carolina. It was there (according the Lebenslauf) that John converted and joined the Moravian church. Sometime afterwards he moved to South Fork near Muddy Creek.&quot;</p><p>John Miller was listed on the 1768 Rowan County, NC tax list.</p><p>John Miller and family became members of the Friedberg Society (Moravian Church) when it was organized in 1770. This church is just across the Rowan County border in present day Davidson County.</p><p>John Miller was listed on the 1773 Rowan County tax list and taxed for 3 polls, himself and sons Henry and Michael Miller.</p><p>On 12 Feb 1780 John Miller made his Will in Rowan County, NC. He mentioned his wife but didn&rsquo;t list her name. He named his oldest son Henry and son Michael. He also named grandson John Henry Miller. Witnesses were Adam Spach, George Landman, and John Daner. Although they weren&rsquo;t mentioned by name, John and wife had 13 children as proven by his obituary and other Moravian records.</p><p>John Miller died on 14 Feb 1780 (per obituary) and buried at the Friedberg Cemetery in present day Davidson County, NC. His marker says &quot;John Muller D: 1780&quot;. Linda Watford (now deceased) found his grave several years ago.</p><p>Widow Mary was listed on the 1790 census as head of household in Rowan County. I don&#39;t know who the 2nd of the two older boys is. One of them must be Joseph (1773), and I once thought the other was Valentine (1766), but he is actually listed nearby in his own household, so I don&#39;t know who this might be with Mary in 1790.</p><p>1790 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) </p><p>1790 Rowan Co, NC pg 175 Mary Miller 2-1-1-0-0<br>Analysis:<br>2 Male(s) 16 and Up (before 1774) Son? Joseph Miller </p><p>Widow Mary was listed on the 1800 census in Rowan County near several of her children.</p><p>1800 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) </p><p>1800 Rowan Co, NC pg 417 Mary Miller 00000-00001-0-0<br>Analysis:<br>1 Female(s) 45 &amp; up (before 1755)&nbsp;Mary Faber Miller (1735) wd/o John<br>I did not find her on the 1810 census.<br>(Note:&nbsp; Only heads of households were listed, no other names)</p><p>(This was a breakdown of the information according to previous records by Marvin Grant)&nbsp; &quot;Maria Magdelena Faber Miller died in 1813 in Rowan, now Davidson County, NC. She is buried at Friedberg also (but not near John). Her tombstone says &quot;Maria Muller D: 1813&quot;. If she had a Lebenslauf I have not seen it yet.&quot;</p><p>Children<br>John Miller and Mary Faber had 13 children as stated in John&rsquo;s obituary and other records. I have the names from Danny Miller&rsquo;s book. Several of them are proven by Moravian records that I&rsquo;ve seen, but I don&rsquo;t know what the evidence for the rest is. The number matches that given in John&rsquo;s obituary so I&rsquo;m sure the list is accurate, I&rsquo;m just not sure what the original sources for their names and birth dates are. Two sons are proven by a tax record and the same two are also proven by John&#39;s Will of 1780. A grandson is named in that will.&nbsp; (Marvin Grant)</p><p>&nbsp;Children of John Miller and Maria Magdelena Faber were as follows:</p><p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Henry Miller , born 23 Oct 1751 in PA; died aft 1815 in Ashe Co, NC. </p><p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Michael Miller , born 31 Oct 1753 in PA; died 1813 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC).&nbsp; He married bef 1790 in Friedberg, Rowan Co, NC Nancy Ann Tansey , born bef 1755; died aft 1820 in Rowan Co, NC. </p><p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sarah Miller , born 18 Oct 1755 in PA; died 4 Feb 1778 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC).&nbsp; She married Henry (aka Heinrich) Muller .&nbsp;&nbsp; Died age 23.</p><p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maria Miller , born 20 Oct 1757 in PA; died 11 Dec 1777 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC).&nbsp;&nbsp; Died age 20</p><p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp; Susanna Miller , born 21 Oct 1761 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 12 Dec 1822 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC).&nbsp; She married on 16 Sep 1779 in Rowan Co, NC Henry (aka Heinrich) Muller , born bef 1755 in PA; died 1800/10 in Rowan Co, NC. </p><p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp; John Miller Pvt , born 9 Mar 1763 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 16 Mar 1835 in Ashe Co, NC. </p><p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp; Valentine &quot;Felty&quot;2&nbsp; Miller , born 18 Sep 1766 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 22 Aug 1835 in Friedberg, Davidson Co, NC.&nbsp; He married on 20 Feb 1814 in Rowan Co, NC Eva Crisson , died 14 Apr 1814 in Friedberg, Rowan Co, NC, buried in Friedberg Cem, Davidson Co, NC. </p><p>8.&nbsp;&nbsp; Katherine Miller , born 27 Dec 1768 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 1781 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); buried in Friedberg Cem, Davidson Co, NC.&nbsp; Died age 13.</p><p>9.&nbsp;&nbsp; Christina Miller , born 17 Mar 1771 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC). </p><p>10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Joseph Miller , born 1 Mar 1773 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC). </p><p>11.&nbsp;&nbsp; Johann Jacob Miller , born 24 Aug 1775 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 8 Oct 1775 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); buried in Friedberg Cem, Davidson Co, NC.&nbsp; Died 2 mos.</p><p>12.&nbsp;&nbsp; David Miller , born 28 Dec 1776 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 29 May 1777 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); buried in Friedberg Cem, Davidson Co, NC.&nbsp; Died 6 mos.</p><p>13.&nbsp; Jonathan Miller , born 28 Dec 1776 in Rowan Co, NC (now Davidson Co, NC); died 12 Jul 1854 in Ashe Co, NC; buried in Welch Cem, Ashe Co, NC.&nbsp; He married Margaret Carpenter . </p><p>Note glw:&nbsp; <br>The information from the Grant Web Site has been revised as it has been found elsewhere, but for the Millers of Ashe County, it is a great place to start.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;<br>Note:&nbsp; glw<br>Many of the children of this family died young;&nbsp; Sarah lived twent-three years; Katherine died at age 13, Maria died at age 20, David only lived from December to May, Johann Jacob died at about four months and Joseph lived only from March 1773 to October 1775.&nbsp; Some genetic problems may be here in this particular family.&nbsp; </p><p>Genealogy of Johannes Muller&nbsp; (John Miller)<br>Zacharias Mueller&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;Born:&nbsp; ca 1568<br>Guettingen, Thurgau, Switzerland<br>&nbsp;Disc #48&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pin #473251 <br>&nbsp;Married: Ursula Kopp b. ca 1572, Guettingen, Thurgau, Switzerland.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Disc #48&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pin #473252 <br>his son<br>Hans&nbsp; Muller and Ursula Henseler&nbsp; (1597)<br>his son<br>Hans Jacob Muller and Elsbeth Kuentzler&nbsp; (1620)<br>his son<br>Hans Jacob Muller and Barbara Pluess&nbsp; (1670)<br>his son<br>Henry Heinrich and Clara Muller&nbsp; (1697)<br>his son<br>Johannes Muller our ancestor&nbsp; (1726)</p><p>Research:&nbsp; Geneva Greer White<br>Moravian Records: Friedberg Diary courtesy of Danny Miller and sent to me by Larry Cockerham.&nbsp; From the Moravian Records: Friedberg Diary.</p><p>Sources:&nbsp; Phoebe Gochnauer&#39;s collection of Miller Records<br>Danny Miller&#39;s Book<br>Ancestry&#39;s Ship and Immigration Records<br>Ancestry.com web site.<br>Census, Birth and Death Records, Ancestry History and Genealogy.<br>FamilySearch for connections.</p><p>Research:&nbsp; Geneva Greer White, &quot;Geneva&#39;s Tree&quot;</p></line></content></metadataxml> |
