[edit] Will of Patrick Miller
[edit] Records of Patrick Miller in Augusta County, VAFrom Chalkley's:
[edit] Information on Patrick MillerThis account fails to mention the second wife in other sources. It is unknown if Patrick Miller had any children with his first wife, Mary Black. Based upon birthdates, it appears all of his children MAY have been born by his second wife, Susanne. More research may be necessary to determine the correct information. Excerpt from the Will of Alexander Black Jr: (Mary Black's brother's Will) "It is my will that all my estate except the slaves who are to be emancipated and except the specific devices hereinafter mentioned shall be equally divided among the children, who may be living at the time of my death, of my sister Rachel Givings, my sister Mary Miller, my sister Nancy McClung, my sister Peggy Phemster, and my brother William Black."

Adam Miller, who appears to have been the first settler of Rockingham and adjacent sections of the Valley, was born probably at Schreisheim, Germany, the native place of Alexander Mack, about the year 1700. He came early in life to Lancaster County, Pa., with his wife and an unmarried sister. Later, going to Williamsburg, Va., he heard of the beautiful valley between the mountains from some Spotswood knights, and followed their path westward, crossing the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap. Having seen and desired the goodly land in the river plain below, he brought his family thither. He secured first the “uppermost of the Massanutten lots,” near the present Page County line, but probably in Rockingham; in 1741 he purchased 820 acres, including the great lithia spring near Elkton, and was living thereon in 1764 when he sold 280 acres thereof to his son-in-law, Jacob Bear. Here Adam Miller lived till he died about 1780, and here the Bear family still resides, the spring being known as Bear Lithia Spring. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War, as shown by the military schedule for 1758 in Hening’s Statutes. In religion he ws a Lutheran, and was probably buried at St. Peter’s Church, four miles north of Elkton. Among his descendants are the Millers, Bears, Kempers, Yanceys, Gibbons, Hopkins, Mauzys, Harnsbergers, and other prominent families of East Rockingham. A descendant, Hon. Chas. E. Kemper of Washington City, deserves special mention for his valuable publications regarding the pioneer. ????????
