(Research):?u??b?John Miller or John Millers?
?/u??/b?
?b?Conclusion:
?/b?John Miller with a wife and six children settled on Lanark Township C2 L22 and not Dalhousie C2 L22. This is unlikely 'my' John Miller as he was born in 1789 and unlikely to have married before 1809, and although possible, unlikely to have travelled with six children.
?b?
Lanark Township C2 L22?/b?
In 1820 John Miller receives this grant of 100 acres 24?sup?th?/sup? 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.
?b?Dalhousie Township C2 L22?/b?
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 locate 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.

?b?
Dalhousie Township C3 L21 E?/b?
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. His wife is named as Jannet Lyle.
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.
?b?Dalhousie C2 L21?/b?
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.
