    Died:
    Miller -
    There passed away at her home in Bathurst in the early morning of the 18th inst., Mrs Ellen Miller, after an illness of but a few days. Mrs. Miller had reached the remarkable age of 92 years and 4 months and up to the time of her illness had been in good health with intellect bright and with a capacity for sharing with others in the joys and sorrows.

    Over half a century ago at the early age of 47 years her life partner Mr. Andrew Miller passed away and on the shoulders of Mrs Miller fell the task of caring for and directing the activities of a large family. Patience, fortitude and self-sacrifice were outstanding virtues in the life of the deceased and added to these was a brightness of life and a depth of sympathy that won for her friendship that lasted throughout her life and living memories that will long remain with those who knew her. In life she experienced the sustaining and upholding grace of God and in death she passed to be with her Saviour whom she loved and in whose service she found quiet joy.

    Mrs. Miller leaves to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, two daughters, Adaline, whose life was so closely linked with that of the deceased, and Tena (Mrs. John Jordan of Christy's Lake); also five sons, Nelson of Crookston, Minn; Sydney, of Edmonton, Alta; Norman of town; and Edwin and Harvey of Bathurst. Three sons predeceased their mother, Lorenzo and Arthur of Crookston, and Albert who died in infancy.

    The funeral was held on Friday afternoon when friends and neighbors in large numbers congregated at the home to pay a silent tribute to one who for such a lengthy span of years had lived and moved amongst them. The funeral services was in charge of Rev. Mr. Harrison, minister of Clavin Church, assisted by Rev. M.C. Mackinnon of St. Paul's Church, town. During the service a most appropriate duet was effectively rendered by Miss Marion Palmer and Mr. R. W. Palmer. The bearers were Messrs. W.J. Palmer, John Korry, Sterling Miller, Alex. Kirkham, Willie Stewart and Roy Miller. The body was placed in the vault in Elmwood Cemetery awaiting interment at a later date.

    Notes:

    In 1825, Andrew Miller, a farmer, from Bathurst Con 3, married Catherine Munro of Dalhousie. She was the oldest daughter of Peter Munro and Mary McNab who came to Canada in 1820 and settled on Dalhousie Con 1 Lot 10. Marriage records have not been located but it is believed that they may have been married by Dr. Gemmill, the first minister to serve the Dalhousie settlers on a regular basis. His records have never been located. In 1835, the Munro family moved to the 3rd Concession of Bathurst, close to where the Miller family had settled.

    This contradicts Peter Munro document:
    Peter (age 52, a weaver) and Mary Munro and family traveled to Canada from Argyleshire Scotland in 1820 on either the ship '?b?Brook?/b?' (7 families, Transatlantic Society) departed 9 July 1820, arriving 21 Au 1820, Dougal Cowan, Master or the '?b?Prompt?/b?' (370 people, 33 families were members of Lesmahago Society), departed 4 July 1820, arriving at Quebec 4 Sep 1820, Joseph Nairn, Master.

    Traveled to Canada with Dobbie family, later the families were to intermarry.

    Residence:
    Settled on Dalhousie C1 L10. Moved to Bathurst in 1835.

    The land is described as rough and stony, and not suitable for extensive agriculture. Inspected by the author about 1934, he notes very little improvements have been made to it. Practically all the tillable land has been broken and is in crop by the present owner, but the greater portion of the acreage is still in its original state. He continues, "A good road runs along the northwest boundary of the lot from the village of Watson's Corners, which is not more than two miles away. The concession road, however, on which the farm faces has never been opened up for traffic, although there is abundant evidence to show that this road has been used to some extent in the early days. The right-of-way is now overgrown with trees and shrubbery and is altogether impassable."

    Peter Munro applied for a patent, 4 Apr 1838, as a member of the Lanark Society Settlers of 1820, for Dalhousie Twp Con 1 E1/2 Lot10. His patent had not arrived with those of the other settlers. The patent was granted 1 June 1938. On 8 July 1840 he sold the property to James MacMillan, 100 acres for ?50, who in turn passed it on to a son and daughter who later conveyed it to Charles McArthur. The property changed hands three times before being acquired by Charles Caldwell (owner in 1934).?i?
    ?/i?
    Fire raged through this part of Lanark in 1870, and in 1934 only foundations of the buildings were evident. A spring, located on the SE corner of the lot, about 25 yards from the NE boundary, close to the division road between the townships of Dalhousie and Lanark was known as the Munro spring (1934). The traveled road runs along the NW side of the farm.


    Land & Property:
    20 Jan 1835, he purchased the rear part of the W1/2 of ?b?L6 C3 Bathurst ?/b?from John McNie for ?65. It was?b? ?/b?situated about ten or eleven miles west of Perth (63 acres adjacent to front part of West half of ?b?C3?/b? ?b?L6 Bathurst ?/b?owned by son John in 1850's). The deed was registered 9 July 1845. Peter, his son, was a resident on this property.

    Peter Munro lived on this property for the rest of his life and when he died this property transferred to his youngest son Roderick, who in turn left the property to his grand-niece Mary Jane Munro.
    Peter Munro's will was witnessed by Andrew Miller and James Patterson.

    ?/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??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.

    ?/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.
