  Death	1866	Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
  	John Miller located on Beckwith township Concession 10 Lot 2 in 1819. Therefore he would be an unassisted or military settler. He is listed as arriving with a wife, 2 sons over 12, 1 son under twelve, 1 daughter over twelve and 2 daughters under twelve (family of eight). He can be found in the 1842 and 1851 Beckwith Township Census with Mary his wife. His religion is Presbyterian. His wife is Mary, although transcribed as Maray in one instance. In 1861 he appears to have left the property and is working as a labourer in Drummond Township. Birthdates range from 1789 to 1791.

See following notes for John Miller, Bathurst. Bathurst, Concession 3 Lot 30 W, 100 acres. He fulfilled settlement requirements as military settler on 18 Apr 1819. or Bathurst Concession 1 Lot 11 NE, 100 acrs. He fulfilled settlement requirements 10 Jun 1819. Determination of Which John Miller belongs with my Family The John Millers of Lanark and Dalhousie township Background I have never been able to match the multiple 'John Miller(ar)s who emigrated to Lanark and Dalhousie township to John, son of William and Elizabeth and other family members who emigrated in 1820-21.  Did John arrive with the family? If so was he married? Did he arrive in 1820 and if so, John's wife and child(ren) accompany William and Elizabeth in 1821? A review of on-line trees does not reveal any clues indicating others have not found an answer to these questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lanark and Dalhousie Townships Conclusions: 1.John Miller with a wife and six children settled on Lanark Township C2 L22 and not Dalhousie C2 L22. 2.This is unlikely 'my' John Miller. If born in 1789, it would be unlikely for him to have married before 1809, and although possible, unlikely to have travelled with six children. Lanark Township C2 L22 In 1820 John Miller receives this grant of 100 acres 24th July 1821. Charles Rankin listed him as indebted to the British government in October 1829. In 1834, John Miller is identified as the settler associated with this lot which is described as stony and swampy. It is noted that he has two sons in western Ontario. In 1838 John Miller states that he was located many years ago on this lot and it was barren and request permission to relinquish and select 100 acres of land elsewhere. John Miller does not appear on this land in 1842, nor could he be found on land in the townships in the study area (Lanark, Dalhousie, Bathurst, Burgess). John Miller did not receive the patent to this land. Dalhousie Township C2 L22 In the same document as noted for Dalhousie C2 L21*, John Miller is located on C2 L22, 100 acres on 24 July 1821. A second John Miller is noted as settling on C3 L21E on 25 July 1821. In some documents, the settlement of Dalhousie C2 L22 has been associated with John Miller, North Albion Society, arrived on the ship Commerce in 1821. He was accompanied by a wife and six children, 2 males over twelve years, one female over twelve years, one male under twelve years, two females under twelve years. However, it is more likely those who associated John Miller with wife and six children located on Lanark Concession 2 Lot 22 are correct. William Graham, head of this group did not sail, and John Miller led this group which included three families. Two other members of group, Peter Baxter, located on Lanark C3 Lot 13, and John Parker located on Lanark C4 L4. C. Bennett also makes note that 'J. Miller has two sons in Western Ontario' which also appears in the notes about Lanark C2 L22 above which suggests confusion as to the township associated with this land allocation. John Miller did not receive the patent for this property. Dalhousie Township C3 L21 E John Miller arrived in 1821, a member of the Cambuslang Society, on the George Canning with three children, 2 sons under twelve, 1 daughter under twelve. (other Miller family members on this ship but in the Glasgow Canadian Society). The ship sailed on 14 Apr 1821 and arrived at Quebec on 2 Jun 1821. The settlers proceeded to Montreal aboard the Lady Sherbrooke. John Miller settled on lot C3L21E, 100 acres, on 25 July 1821, the same day as his father and brothers. He can be matched to settler #495 in the Location Report of Settlers. These records indicate it was Concession 3 Lot 21 E not concession 2. Baptismal and Marriage Records of Presbyterian Churches in Dalhousie and Lanark Townships, Lanark County, Ontario, J.R. Ernest Miller and Robert E. Sargeant. 1989. John Miller's son, John Miller was baptised on 24 May 1833. In 1834 Col. Marshall notes that the lot is vacant and 'Miller gone thirteen years, no information'. The lot is hilly and rocky. John Miller did not receive the patent for this property. In previous research This was believed to be John Miller, born 1794, who settled near Morristown, St Lawrence County, New York. See John Miller #4061 who married Catherine Young.  Current research suggest this is not John Miller 1789. Dalhousie Township C2 L21 No record of this lot being assigned in 1821*. He may have moved to this lot after the settlement year but no records to support this was found. Col Marshall associates John Miller with this land in 1834. He describes this lot as half the lot is middling, the remainder is indifferent, timber maple, elm, beech, hemlock, basswood on ridge, cedar & tamarack in swamp. Will Purchase ?2 per acre. Two miles to mill. Unimproved value ?0. 3. John Miller did not obtain the patent to this property. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MILLAR JOHN CATHARINE YOUNG/FR190 (FR190) 07/12/1816 627 10 / 308 CAMBUSLANG I have tracked this family in great detail as it was suggested as a possiblity by Chares McPherson in 2014. I have recently been able to confirm that Catharine's father, John Young, settled in Ramsay township, Lanark County concession 1 Lot 15E. I have now determined that John Miller(ar) was the son of John Miller and Isobell Brown and was born 9 Nov 1794 in Old Monkland or Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The fact that Catherine's father was among the assisted settlers leads me to believe that John and Catherine were also. However, John may have been among those who initially sought employment on the canals, or was in search of better land because he appears on the US census for 1830. Others - less likely John, (age?) was possibly in Hennipen Co, Minnesota, in 23 Aug 1870, Minneapolis ward 3, pg. 40, in lumbering, with Mary, 50. Also listed on page are: Sarah Gilmour, 29, 1841, England Henry Gilmour, 14, 1856 Roxanna Miller, 50, 1820, Canada Mary Connley Miller, 14, 1856, Minnesota William Connley Miller, 11, 1859, Minnesota. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did John even come to Canada? Yes Inspection Report of Bathurst District Clergy Reserves in 1828, Charles Rankin also Canadian Land Patent (CLP) Inspection Report Bathurst District 1840 Searched for: Report nothing found at this time, need to revisit this info Looking at possible Scotland marriages for John Miller It is probable that John did not marry before his 20th birthday in 1809. I could not find a trace of children for most of these couples suggesting emigration or military service in Ireland. This has lead to the possibility that John, living in Beckwith township and later in Drummond township might be of interest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- First name(s)     John Last name     Miller Marriage year     1814 Marriage date     1814 Spouse's first name(s)     Mary Spouse's last name     Ross Place     Old Kilpatrick County     Dunbartonshire Country     Scotland Record set     Scotland, Parish Marriages & Banns 1561-1893 Category     Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records Subcategory     Parish Marriages Collections from     Great Britain, Scotland Children: Helen 1816 Agnes 1816 John 1818 Mary 1823 Janet Logan 1825 Isabel 1827 Walter 1829 Findagrave #185795560 United Cemeteries (Maplewood-St. Fillians-Pine Grove), Beckwith Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada First name(s) John County Dunbartonshire Last name Miller Country Scotland Marriage year 1814 Record set Scotland, Parish Marriages & Banns 1561-1893 Marriage date 1814 Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records Spouse's first name(s) Mary Subcategory Parish Marriages Spouse's last name Ross Collections from Great Britain, Scotland Place Old Kilpatrick Is this the John and Mary of Beckwith 1851 and Drummond 1861? 1842 Census, Beckwith C10 L2 (note - next to Duncan Campbell, see following) 2 people (John and Mary?) 1851 Census, Beckwith, Lanark Name     John Miller Gender     Male Age Next Birthday 63 Estimated Birth Year     1788 Birthplace     Scotland Census year     1851 Enumeration District     Lanark County Enumeration District Number     19 Sub-Enumeration District     Beckwith Sub-Enumeration District Number  175 Residence Place     Lanark, Canada West (Ontario), Canada Profession, Trade, or Occupation      Farmer Religion      Free Church - Presbyterian Household Members     25 Line Number     16 Page Stamped     77 Page Handwritten     8 Name      Maray Miller Gender     Female Age Next Birthday 59 Estimated Birth Year     1792 Birthplace     Scotland Census year     1851 Enumeration District     Lanark County Enumeration District Number     19 Sub-Enumeration District     Beckwith Sub-Enumeration District Number     175 Residence Place     Lanark, Canada West (Ontario), Canada Religion     Free Church - Presbyterian Household Members     25 Line Number     17 Page Stamped     77 Page Handwritten     8 1861 Census, Drummond, Lanark John Miller, Gender Male,                                 Marital Status Married Age 70 Birth Date 1791 Birth Place Scotland Home in 1861 Drummond, Lanark, Canada West District Number      13 Relation to Head Head Religion      Presbyterian Page number     22 Household Members     1 Name     Mary Miller Gender     Female Marital Status Married Age 60 Birth Date 1801 Birth Place Scotland Home in 1861     Drummond, Lanark, Canada West District Number     13 Relation to Head Head Religion      Presbyterian Page number     22 Household Members     1 Additionally found in: ?W Reel 154A One - John Miller, emigrant, 1821 ?W Early Settlers to Bathurst District, JRE Miller - 1819, Scotland, John Millar, Beckwith, Concession 10, Lot 2, wife, 2 sons +12, 1 son -12, 1 daughter +12, 2 daughters -12. ?W Scottish Settlers to Bathurst Area + supplement, Bathurst District - John Miller, Coldingham b. 1794, sailed 11 Jul 1815, Burgess concession 10 lot 4. ?W Also, James Miller 1813, m Mary Friend with 3 children.

The troops then signed on as mercenaries, to be paid by the British. They fought in the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), mainly around the Mediterranean, and were based in Malta and then in Egypt from 1801 to 1803, fighting in Sicily and Naples. The regiment fought and won the Battle of Maida, in Italy in July 1806. From 1811 to 1813 the unit served under Wellington in the Peninsular War in Spain, and defending Cadiz in the Siege of C?adiz. The regiment sailed to Canada in 1813 to fight in the War of 1812. The unit was retired at the end of the war and soldiers were given tracts of land in Canada. wikipedia References Biography of Louis de Watteville at the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online Chartrand, Ren?e (2000). ?Emigr?e and Foreign Troops in British Service (2) 1803-15.
