  5.   Biography of John Miller of Shade Township by Leroy V. Baldwin

    John Miller built a cabin about 1760 on the boundary between what is now Shade and Allegheny townships near the headwaters of Breastwork Run, the foundation of which is still standing. This is one-half mile north of the Lincoln Highway at the village of McNealtown. Miller was a trader and packer and had been a pack horse driver in Colonel Henry Bouquet's Regiment in 1758.

    Harmon Husband and John Heckewelder, Moravian minister, passed over the Forbes Road as early as 1762. Both reported settlers along this road west of th mountains at the time, mentioning such names as John Miller, Caspar Stotler and Daniel Stoy.

    The assessment lists of 1772 of Somerset County show Miller as assessed with ten acres of land, and on the assessment lists of Bedford County for the same year he was assessed with 300 acres of land, one horse and two cows. There remains little doubt that John Miller was one the first settlers in Shade Townships.
