Sketch
Isaac Miranda and his son, George, were Traders who settled on Conoy Creek, in what is now Lancaster County, about 1715. The father died in 1732, leaving to his heirs several thousand acres of land, and, among other personal property, twelve pack-horses, which he had formerly used in his Indian trade. His daughter married Governor James Hamilton. George Miranda, the son, was one of the most active Traders among the Shawnees at Allegheny between 1736 and 1740.
