Notes:

Elizabeth Mason Miller died on 27 January 1850 after giving birth to twin sons who were born and baptised on 9 January 1950. She ws the daughter of Robert Mason and Helen Gourlay who had immigrated to Canda at the same time as the Miller family.

Andrew Burns Miller was raised by his uncle George Miller in Bathurst Township, Canada West (Lanark County, Ontario, Canada). John Mason Miller was raised by his aunt Janet (Mrs. Robert Boyle) and went to Australia with them in the 1860's. John Mason Miller travelled to Ipswich Reserve, Australia with the Boyle family on the Golden City, arriving on 5 February 1866. The Boyle family settled on the Ipswich Agricultural Reserve in the Fassifern Valley near Brisbane Queensland. John Mason Miller was 16 years of age when he arrived in Queensland.

In the 1851 Canada West census ?b?John Mason Miller?/b? is listed twice, once in the household of his father Thomas Miller and secondly in the household of Robert Hendry Boyle.

In 1851 his father, ?b?Thomas Miller?/b?, is 42, member of the Church of Scotland, who is a farmer and lives in a log house. John Mason's siblings are listed as William 18, Robert 16, George 15, Mary 11, Thomas 9, Helen 7, Robertson 6, David 4, and Andrew 2. Margaret Mason, a sister of his mother, age 23, is also listed and has probably assumed the 'mother' role in the household. It is unknown who cared for John Mason during his infancy. Janet, his aunt would have only been eight years older than his father, Thomas, and would have grown up in the same neighbourhood and probably forged a close relationship. Her youngest child Mungo, was six years old so it is not probable that she was able to nurse John Mason as an infant. If he joined her household shortly after birth as the census may indicate, a wet nurse may have been engaged or a sop* used.

Meanwhile (1851), in the Boyle household you have Robert Boyle, age 57, member of the Free Church, a farmer who also lives in a log house. His wife Jannet is a sister of William, father of Thomas, and aged 48. The family members are slightly older; Catherine 26, Mary 24, William 21, John 18, Robert 17, David 15, James 12 and Mungo 10. John Mason is listed as age 3, indicating that the census was taken later in the year.

In 1861, aged 12, John is again listed as a member of this household.

Meanwhile, Andrew Burns Miller is only listed with his father, Thomas Miller's household in 1851. In 1861 Andrew Burns Miller, age 11, is found in the household of George Miller. Other members of the household are George Miller 47, his wife (Helen) Ellen 45, Jane 18, Mary 16, Robert 14, Jennet 12, Margaret 10, William 7, Catherine 5, George 3. Again, it is not known who would have cared for him as an infant unless a wet nurse was engaged or Margaret Mason was able to successful feed him with a sop.

Thomas Miller remarried in 1852. He and his new wife Ann Wilson Donaldson, b circa 1812, had three children, James b. 1853, Jennett b. 1856, and Agnes b. 1860. They appear as part of Thomas Miller's household in 1861 along with children from his first marriage. It appears that the twins, have both been 'adopted' within the extended family shortly after birth or at least by the time that Thomas remarried.

(Research):Mary, Mungo and John Mason Miller are the only family members mentioned in John's letters in 1870 to his twin brother Andrew Burns Miller.

JR Ernest Miller May 1993?/i?
Thomas Miller would have been 12 years of age when William Miller and Mary Burns left Dumbarton to settle in Lanark Co.

On 23 March 1833 he married Elizabeth Mason at Lanark. Elizabeth was the 2nd daughter of Robert Mason and Helen Gourlie who settled in 1820 on C2 L9 Lanark twp. Robert Mason was the first school master in Lanark Village, a weaver by trade and a strict Presbyterian
.
Their first child, William, may have been born at Lanark, as he is recorded as being baptised at St. Andrew's, Lanark.

Thomas and Elizabeth moved to Bathurst, with his brother, and settled on L9 Con 3 where their family grew to number ten. This property was purchased from John Munro, the eldest son of Peter Munro. and was later known as the Alex Stewart farm, front part of West half of ?b?Lot 6 C 3 Bathurst ?/b?(approximately 50 acres). The deed from John Gray is dated 3 November 1854, registered 17 Dec 1855 to John Munro, and sold 22 September 1860 to Thomas Miller for $1200, double the price John Munro paid in 1854. This property adjoined the 63 acre farm on which Peter Munro Sr. lived after moving from Dalhousie Twp.


Elizabeth died on 27 January 1850 after giving birth to twin sons. Andrew Burns Miller was raised by his uncle George Miller. John Mason Miller was raised by his aunt Janet (Mrs. Robert Boyle) and went to Australia with them in the 1860's.
Many members of this family went west and settled in North Dakota and Minnesota USA. My heartfelt thanks go to Clarice Bachman, wife of William Miller Stefon, of Chehalis, Washington for her tremendous effort in collecting data on this branch of the family and for the five days we spent proof reading and correcting printouts.

Chapter 23
WEST ALBANY TOWNSHIP
Pages 777-787

From the book about Wabasha Co. Minnesota
"HISTORY OF WABASHA COUNTY"
Compiled by Dr. L. H. Bunnell
Published Chicago by H. H. Hill, Publishers, 1884
Republished Currently by Higginson Books

In the spring of 1857, Lawrence Tracy, of Irish nativity, who had previously settled in what is now Oakwood, moved to West Albany. In the same year came Sylvester and William Applegarth, of Canada; Henry Schmuser, of Holstien; Wm. Funk, and some others. In 1858 began the establishment of the Scotch settlement in the northeastern part of the township. In this year came George and William Wilson, William Duffus, Henry Glashen, Geo. And William Perry, Charles Forest, Alexander Thoirs, William Sterling, David Munro, and William Corry; these have since been followed by many others from Scotland and Racine county, Wisconsin, some also from Canada. Many of these came here poor, but all are now successful farmers, and the Scotch settlement will be found a Christian, hospitable community where peace and prosperity reigns.

Thus we see the early establishment of three nationalities in this township, German, Irish and Scotch, and to these three the population still mainly belongs, but very few being of American descent.

?/b??i?From Charles McFadden letter?b??/i?
?/u?William Miller?/b? (1762) arrived Brig George Canning 1821, Dumbartonshire and located on W L15 Con 1 Lanark Township after first drawing Lot 24 Con 2. He was accompanied by his wife and William Miller (1786)'s siblings. He later moved to Bathurst.

?b?William Miller?/b? arrived on Brig Prompt, 1820 located in Dalhousie, Whitelee. Son of William 1762.?u??b?
?/u??/b?
?u??i?William Miller & Family in Wisconsin from Charles McFadden?/u??/i?
William V. Moore , Wisconsin Probate. A kerfuffle over his estate. ?b?Mary Miller?/b?, his wife, refused administration on his estate. ?b?Jane Ebbot?/b? petitioned for re-payment of loans totaling over $1000 - in 1885 - dating back to 1855. The notes were in her name then: ?b?Jane M. Wilson?/b?. She says that she is the sister of William's wife, Mary Miller. A great grandson petitioned in 1948 because his grandfather had been named in the will "Miller W. Moore" and his name was really "William M. Moore" There is diagram of the homestead there too.

I do not have the diagram. I think Robert Urquhart's 4 great grand daughter may as a guess.

Then, Mary Miller Moore died in 1898 and her parents were named as ?b?William Miller and Margaret Burns?/b?.

So, now we know that William Miller 1786 went to the United States in 1836, was in Racine in 1844, that he had, at least, children?b? Margaret Mary, Jane, and John ?/b?with him. Jane married one husband Joseph Wilson along the way, and Mary married William V. Moore either Dec. 25 1844 or Jan. 31st 1845 - both records exist. Unfortunately, nothing further about the whereabouts of William and Margaret after the 1850 census of Wisconsin. William Miller 1786 & Mary Margaret Burns your 4 great grandparents either died before 1860 or moved on.

Notice Diane that there is a darn gone David Miller listed as well!
*********
William appears as head of household in Racine Wisconsin in 1855 Census. This census does not show names of household.
?u??b?
?/b??i?JR Ernest Miller 18 May 1993?/u??/i?
Wm. Miller & Mary or Margaret Burns were married at Kilmarnock Scotland on 13 June 1807.
The baptismal records of their children in Scotland use one of those two christian names but never the two at one time. We have not checked her birth records to verify which is correct or whether it should be Mary Margaret Burns. It is rumoured that she is a sister of Robbie Burns the poet but never verified.
In 1821, William Miller took his family to Greenock where they embarked for Canada settling in Lanark twp on Con 1 Lot 15 opposite his brother Andrew who had drawn a similar lot in Dalhousie twp.
Burial records have never been located but the 1834 report on the condition of the 1820-21 Scottish settlers to Lanark and Dalhousie twps states that widow Miller is alone on L15 C1 Lanark and that the rest of the family has moved to Bathurst twp. In his diaries Robert Mason recorded that Mrs. William Miller died 13 Dec 1839. As three of his daughters were married to Miller husbands we have assumed that this was Mary Margaret Burns.
To make a positive identification more difficult there were no less than four William Millers in Dalhousie and Lanark twps in 1834. A William Miller left L14 C2 Dalhousie in 1839 and moved to Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., New York State. Efforts to identify this man have failed to date.
Janet, Margaret Ann & Mary, daughters of William and Mary Margaret Miller have not been identified in our research although earlier family history had indicated possible marriages to a Brownlee and a Robinson.

?u??i?Carol Bennett: The Lanark Society Settlers, 1991.?/u??/i?
pg. 105 reflects the confusion of William Millers at the time. She has Andrew Miller as a son rather than a brother. Again on pg 106 there is confusion of generations.
One of the William Millers was a member of the ?b?Glasgow Canadian Society. ?/b?Signatures of James, Andrew and William are posted on page 103. Walter Black was head of this emigration society. This group arrived in 1821 on the ship George Canning.?b?

?b?notes from William [6] for reference?/b?
As part of the ?i?Glasgow Sr. Wrights was ?/i?Andrew Blair (4 people). As part of the ?i?Lanarkshire Society?/i? James Gilmour (6 persons), William Miller (1 person) and William Gilmour (1 person) sailed on Earl of Buckinghamshire, Johnston Master, departing Greenock on 29 Apr 1821 to sail to Quebec.
Among the 1821 arrivals is Robert Mason on Lanark C2 Lot 9W, Alexander Brownlee on Dalhousie C12 L11W, and John Miller on Lanark C2 L22W.?b?
?/b?on the same ship, Cannnington as part of the ?i?Cambuslang Society?/i?, there was a John Miller (4 people) and a William Gourley (5 people).

I find that one of the William Millers from Scotland, was a bachelor, and had arrived on the Commerce on June 1820 and was not located until 22 March 1821 on Lanark C7 L12W. Furthermore I discover that he was not sent out by Government but was received by authority of Commander, 22 January, 1821. A Hugh Miller, 1821 settled in Ramsay Township C10 L18 on 25 Jul 1821. He was of interest, not as a Miller but as an ancestor of Beatrice Miller Duncan who married into my husband's Duncan family.

Another document was In this report we find that William Miller, 1820,?b? ?/b?purchased?b? ?/b?Lanark C2 Lot 13W from Wm. Brown who now owns a tavern in Perth and that William Miller is located on Dalhousie C2 Lot 14E. It seems there is a 'Brown' connection yet to be discovered in the family. A grandson of William and Elizabeth has ?i?Brown?/i? as a second name on a marriage record. It is also noted that John Blair sold Dalhousie C5 L6W to William Miller. At this point I go back to the record of births and baptism I have already gathered. I know that William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour, are the parents of Robert, b. 3 Nov 1784, William, b. 19 Sep 1786, John, born 7 Jun 1789, and Jean b. 3 Aug 1791, all in Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire, Scotland.
