    Notes:

    Little is known about Robert Miller other than he was born to William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour in 1784.

    Unless he accompanied his parents, as part of the group of seven who arrived in 1821, Robert did not independently qualify for assistance through one of the emigration societies. He would have been of an age to qualify for his own grant unless the plan was for him to assist William and Elizabeth who were in or approaching their sixties. If he was unmarried, this may have been the plan.

    He does not appear in the 1820, 1822, 1834 or 1842 reports on the settlers in the Bathurst District. In the ?i?MS 482 Vol 1 Inspection Report Bathurst District Clergy Reserves 1828, ?/i? the report for Robert Miller, Dalhousie C1 L17, 200 acres, describes the soil as bad. Timbers - maple, hemlock, elm and basswood on the ridge, cedar and tamarack in swamp. Will purchase at 21? per acre. Nearest mill is eight miles. Is this 'Robert'? The location close to his parents suggests it might be.

    He reappears, to obtain the crown patent on his parents property in Lanark Township 6 Mar 1851 and it is believed to be Robert, at the home of his brother Andrew Miller in Bathurst at the time of the 1852 census, identified as a widower, but he does not appear in the 1861 census. No burial site has been located.

    The possibility of Robert being a military settler needs to be explored more fully. There is a possibility that he served in Ireland and or on the Continent. He may have followed the family to Canada after receiving a pension.


    The possibility of Robert remaining in Scotland and possibly marrying there has been looked at, and a possible marriage to Agnes Kerr and resulting family identified, but more work will be required to prove or disprove this theory.

    The possibility that Robert emigrated to another country is another possibility that has not yet been explored. South Africa, New Zealand and Australia would be good possibilities in addition to the United States.

    (Research):?b??i?
    ?/b?Spouses? Maybe none!!!?/i?
    Another possibility is Jean Young 28 Nov 1807
    Agnes Kerr is floated as a possibility based on a ScotlandsPeople search of marriages listed in Old Parish Registers.?b??i?

    ?/b?Dalhousie C1 L17 200 acres

    ?i?Residence 1852 Census ?/i?
    Bathurst with brother Andrew Miller & Catherine Munro. Robert, age 66, b. Scotland, (1786) is listed as a widower. He came on the brig George Canning.

    Other info for reference:
    1841 Census locates a 'Robert' in Bathurst on C4 L11E. He arrived from England in 1814, Anglican, 1 born in England, 3 born in Canada.
    a Robert Miller and Janet ....... married about 1830 and son Robert born in 1832, First Presbyterian Church, Perth.
    note I have verified that it is NOT Robert Miller,1802, C1 L17 Bathurst Twp.
