Notes:

Ted Miller: Birth info from OPR Births 496/00 0030 0242 Dumbarton Register - Birth Date 24 August 1806.

Based on correspondence from Muriel Peppler, I believe that?b? John Miller 1806 came to Canada in 1826?/b? (unexplained date in a Robert Miller bible in the possession of Carolee, daughter of Clinton Park, granddaughter of Elizabeth Miller Park 2017).

Family lore suggests that he worked on a ships crew and left the ship in Quebec and made his way to Lanark County. He would have been 20 years of age at the time and would have qualified for a free grant of land when he reached age 21 but the land granting program was cancelled in 1827. He therefore did not receive a land grant.

It is not know at this time where he worked and lived until his ?b?marriage to Margaret Blair in Lanark, Rev. John Gemmill, in 1831?/b? (Marriage certificate believed to have been held by Melville Millar in the 1990s). It is suspected that he may have worked for James Blair for a time and thus met his daughter Margaret. James Blair settled in Dalhousie in 1820. He died before 1834 and his son George acquired the property Dalhousie Concession 1 Lot 8 and applied for the crown patent for this lot.
?i?Land Record Dalhousie C1 L8?b??/i? ?/b?(Almonte Registry Office - researched by Mel Miller)
1837 Crown to George Blair
1852 George Blair to Robert Bateson
1865 Robert Bateson to George Blair
1872 George Blair to Andrew Paul
1876 Andrew Paul to Stewart Miller
1881 Stewart Miller to George Blair
1885 George Blair to Jane Blair
1895 Stewart Miller and wife to James Dunham
Stewart Miller, son of John and Margaret, retured to this farm in the 1870's with his first wife, Jane Elliott, age 40 who died in 1883 and a son John, age 12 who died in 1881. Jane and her son are buried in the same plot as George Blair in the Watson Corners cemetery.

It is believed that two children were born before moving to Bathurst. One unsubstatiated suggestion is that William was born in Huntley Township, Carleton County. If this can be established it might suggest that John was engaged in the timber industry for a period. This was one of the common methods for gaining currency during this period.

?b?St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Perth, ON?/b?
John (21 Jan 1836 - 13 Feb 1846) and Margaret (1 Feb 1835, communicant - 13- Jun 1846) were members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Perth. It lists their location as Bathurst C2 L8 at time of becoming members (1836). Margaret's location is given as Perth at time of departure from congregation.

?b?Their children?/b?

George Miller born 18 Sep 1837, chr. 24 Sep 1837, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3?sup?*?/sup?
David - born circa 1840, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County
Stewart - born c 1841, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County
Robert - born 1834-4, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County
John - born circa 1850, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County

Research on the two Bathurst Township locations gives this information:
Location from Baptismal records:
C2 L3E - 1824 Hugh Spratt
C2 L3E - 1829 Patrick Kane
C2 L3W - 1824 Michael Cullen
C2 L3W - 1825 Samuel McLellan
C2 L3W - 1841 Isaac Corry
It is probable that they rented or leased part of this lot for a period of time.

Location from John Miller, St. Andrew's Role and Lanark Land Records, Book I, sale of property to Andrew Miller and Early Settlers in Bathurst Township; JRE Miller :
C2 L8E - 1826 John McKenzie

?b?C2 L8W - 1833 Archibald Fraser

C2 L8W - 1833 Andrew Miller
?/b?It appears that John Miller owned this lot jointly with Archibald Fraser 1833-1838. The sale to Andrew was recorded on 12 Dec 1838.

After the move to Hastings County, Land records indicate that John and Margaret resided at Rawdon C9 L21 but later acquired additional properties.
?b?Rawdon Township
?/b?C9 L21 Deed March 1847 - 200 acres

?/b?John Miller died late 1870 and before 12 Jan 1871

(Research):One of the census (1861) shows an Isabella Miller that no one can identify. Isabella is said to have married William Milne and is buried in Burnbrae cemetery, adjoining St Andrew's Church. The inscription on their tombstone is hard to read (1981:M. Peppler) but seems to be: Isabella Miller, died 22 Feb 1883, aged 60?, 63?, 69?. A granddaughter has her birth as 27 May 1820. This would make it unlikely that she was John and Margaret's daughter, maybe a sister?
Family, Jane Milne married William Stewart Jr.

Mary McLaughlin Miller, daughter of John and Margaret Miller, Osgoode, C10 L36, born 10 Jul 1843, baptised 16 Mar 1844.

Excerpt from a letter - decendent of Stewart & Janet Miller
The Millers and Blairs first settled in Dalhousie. Grandfather moved to Rawdon, near Campbellford; both he and grandmother Miller are buried there. Father, Mother, Uncle Robert and Aunt Agnes are buried in Rainy River.

From Ted Miller, Nov 2019
The 1871 Census of Canada lists John Miller, age 64, as dying in April within the 12 months "preceeding the 1871 Census".

2. The Ontario Land Registry Access Land Registry Office for Hastings County (LRO21) advises -
Page 267 of 301 of this document recorded that William, James, David, Stewart, George, John and wives & Margaret Miller ? Widow" Granted 100 acres of the property of Concession 9, Lot 21, to "Robert Miller", by Grant G818 on 12 January, 1871.

Page 267 of 301 of this document recorded that William, James, David, Stewart, Robert, John and wives & Margaret Miller ? Widow" Granted 50 acres of the property of Concession 9, Lot 21, to "George Miller", by Grant G814 on 12 January, 1871.

If the property of John Miller was passed to his descendants in January, 1871, that must mean that John Miller died during the April before 1871, i.e., April 1870.

Margaret Kelso Mrs. John Munro ? her niece Janet McDonald married Robert Bateson 1825 and his parents were William Bateson 1804 and Janet Sinclair who in 1851 are living beside George Blair and wife Jean Bateson.
Jean Bateson 1802 Blair is sister of William Bateson 1804. Also with them is Isabella Blair born 1773 and so safe bet that Isabella is wife, widow of James Blair Lanark Society Settler dead by 1834 who came out in 1820.
