    ? "SENIOR"1 MILLER was born about 1613/18 in Edinburgh, Scotland (VHM, Dummerston, p. 46) and died 1 Aug 1688 about age 70 (Savage, from death record, "sen. an aged Scotchman, above 70") (given in some records, including Torrey as the death of his son James). He emigrated from Edinburgh about 1660 with his son James and they settled in Charlestown MA. They joined the Presbyterian church in Charlestown.

    Children of Senior Miller:

    JAMES2 MILLER, born ca1640 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died 14 Jul 1690 of smallpox. He married MARY __??__.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    rom The *VERMONT* Historical Magazine, "Dummerston," p. 45:
    Guess it's not obvious ENOUGH.
    NOT THE SON OF JOHN MILLER JR. AND AGNES CAMPBELL!!!
    The Millers, of Scotland, were of Saxon origin, and followed the leadership of Edward, who conquered the Picts and founded Edinburgh, A.D. 449. The history of the family is rather obscure, until about the year 1600, when the country was distracted by civil war, assuming a religious character between Protestantism and Catholicism. The Millers took sides with the Protestants, and later with the Presbyterians or Covenanters, when persecuted by James the First, in his efforts to establish Episcopacy. The laws against Presbyterianism were so arbitrary that it led to great disorder and opposition by the inhabitance, and many personal encounters passed between the liberty-loving Scots and the minions of the king, in the enforcement of obnoxious laws. The name of James Miller is found twice recorded in a list of those who paid fines for transgressing the laws in the city of Edinburgh, ... [for account see VHM, p. 45].

    The oppresion of the Covenanters led many to seek the shores of America where they could worship God without restraint. "Senior" Miller and his son, James, emigrated from Edinburgh about 1660.

    (The above references a Miller family that emigrated to New England, not Virginia.)
