John Miller

Notes:

Kathy Casagranda shows him as born in Hancock County, Georgia, and indicates he was in Sabine County, Texas at the time of the 1850 census, however he is not in White & Toole's transcription of this census, nor was I able to locate him an the microfilm's of the actual at Ancestry.com. Casagranda states he is likely a descendant of Brice Miller of Lancaster County, SC. He died prior to the 1870 census.
