A collegiate church, dedicated to St Patrick, was founded at Dumbarton, about 1450, by Isabella, Duches of Albany and countess of Lennox. She endowed it for a probost and six prebendaries, with the churches of Bonhill, Fintray, and Stathblane, and it had also part of the lands of Strathblane; Stuckroger and Forkinch in the parish of Luss; Balernic-beg in Cardros; Knockdouriebarber in Roseneath; and ladytown in Bonhill. The earls of Lennox were patrons. ... A single arch, supposed to be the remains of this church, is still seen, close to the town.

Isobell married William Miller on 14 Nov 1749 in Bonhill, Vale of Leven, West Dunbarton, Scotland. William (son of John Miller, Probable Royalist 1745 and Jenet Miller) was born in 1719 in Glenan of Keppoch, Argyll and Bute, Scotland; was christened on 5 Apr 1719 in Cardross, Argyll and Bute (Dunbarton), Scotland; and died.

A note given to my grandfather Wilford Shields from his scottish cousins when he visited them in 1950.
It is written by James Connell, Isobel's great grandson. It stated "I remember getting a half penny from Great grandmother when brother John was a baby.  She counted down 4 halfpennys on a chair that stood at the door in Millerstan House and said that is from your great grandmother and I will no be back to see you anymore as I a getting old.  She was over 80 to go and had on a black bonnet, black dress and black shawl.  They called her great grandmother Bella Blackwood.

After studying out Isabela's information and through prayer and guidance I found Isabela and her family.  This took place in the winter and spring of 1995.  Found the information in Salt Lake City in May at the family history library but only after alot of study here in Lethbridge at the family history library. !Doc Film # 1041065. It read May 16th William Blackwood in Barfillan Margaret Millar his spouse had a _______ baptized named __________. Apparently the minister couldn't remember the sex or name.  But I know that it was Isobel because of an experience I had while studying this family line. !Doc baptism and endowments Logan Temple Record Endowment for the Dead Book F Page 380  #13909.   Proxy is Elizabeth Dow Shields. In a letter written by Isobel's grandson James Connel, he said she was referred to as Bell".

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 MS 482 Vol 1 Inspection Report Bathurst District Clergy Reserves 1828,  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):
Spouses? Maybe none!!!
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.

From Charles McFadden letter
William Miller (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.

William Miller arrived on Brig Prompt, 1820 located in Dalhousie, Whitelee. Son of William 1762.

William Miller & Family in Wisconsin from Charles McFadden
William V. Moore , Wisconsin Probate. A kerfuffle over his estate. Mary Miller, his wife, refused administration on his estate. Jane Ebbot petitioned for re-payment of loans totaling over $1000 - in 1885 - dating back to 1855. The notes were in her name then: Jane M. Wilson. 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 William Miller and Margaret Burns.

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 Margaret Mary, Jane, and John 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.

JR Ernest Miller 18 May 1993
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.

Carol Bennett: The Lanark Society Settlers, 1991.
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 Glasgow Canadian Society. 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.

notes from William [6] for reference
As part of the Glasgow Sr. Wrights was Andrew Blair (4 people). As part of the Lanarkshire Society 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.
on the same ship, Cannnington as part of the Cambuslang Society, 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, purchased 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 Brown 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.

John Miller - Beckwith Twp, Lanark County
?W   Conclusions
1.John's arrival in Canada in 1822 conflicts with the births of the children credited to John Miller and Mary Ross via Scottish Records.
2.This is not the John Miller who settled in Beckwith Township.
3.The dates for John's birth are listed as 63rd year, 1788 on the 1851 census and 70, suggested 1791, in 1861. It is probable that this John was born in Old or West Kilpatrick and that one of the individuals suggested below would be a better fit for the 'John' of this research.
4.This is not John, son of William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour.

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.

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

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.

De Watteville's Regiment was a Swiss regiment founded by Louis de Watteville and recruited from regiments that served between 1799 and 1801 in the Austrian army but in British pay. 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.

Died:
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.

1861 Census, Sarnia Township, (Lambton Cty) in Huron County, Microfilm #C1041

Plympton
Plympton is the most northern of the center tier of Lambton County townships and is bounded on the north by a portion of Bosanquet and on the north west by Lake Huron.

From a Lambton web site?
It is the second largest township in the county, having 76080 acres. The settlement of Plympton dates back from 1833 in which year a large number of immigrants located along the Egremont Road in the 5th and 6th ,Concessions. They came out from Europe under the patronage of Lord Egremont. There was also a settlement at Camlachie the same year. The land there was settled in 1833 by old country men and in 1835 and 36 a considerable number of Scotch settlers came to the southern part of the township from Lanark county. When the settlement was effected along the lake there was no way of communicating with Sarnia, then a straggling hamlet containing only one store, except by boats on the lake.

A History of Lambton Cty, Jean Turnbull Elford, Sarnia, 1967. (my summary)
In 1835, 27 year old Malcolm Cameron persuded Scottish settlers to follow him from Lanark and Perth, (Lanark Cty) when he bought the property that was to become downtown Sarnia. He provided land for their Presbyterian Church, employed them in his grist mill, took potash in exchange for goods at his store corner of Lochiel and Front St. The settlers cut square oak timbers he sold to Glasgow shipyards, manufactured staves he shipped to Jamaica for rum barrels, built and sailed vessels on the lakes. Through use of political influence he was responsible for the building of a road from London to Sarnia direct.

These men receiving military land grants were either not associated in the records with a specific regiment or the transcriber was unable to read the handwriting. Many of these no doubt served in the War of 1812, but others would have served in other theatres.
James Miller, 1817, Bathurst C5 L14NE (might be 4th Vetern's Battalion? or 4th GN? or BN?

1816 - 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards
The 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards was a British army cavalry regiment, officially formed in January 1686 as Shrewsbury's Regiment of Horse. Following a number of name changes, it became the 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1804.

During the War of the Spanish Succession, the unit was commanded by William Cadogan, close aide to the Duke of Marlborough. It was engaged in many of Marlborough's battles and sieges, including Blenheim, Ramillies and Malplaquet; after the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, it resumed garrison duties in Ireland, where it spent most of the next 80 years.[7]

Le Marchant's charge at Salamanca, July 1812; 5th dragoons right foreground
Renamed Second Irish Horse in 1746, it then became 5th Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1788.[2] On the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Warsin 1793, it was posted to Flanders where it fought at the April 1794 Battle of Beaumont.[6] The unit returned to Ireland and helped suppress the 1798 Irish Rebellion, including the battles of Arklow, Vinegar Hill and Ballinamuck.[5] In 1804, it was retitled 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards after Princess Charlotte, later simplified to 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards.[2]

Posted to Spain in 1810, it was part of Le Marchant's brigade during the Peninsular campaign. The Battle of Salamanca in July 1812 is considered one of Wellington's greatest victories and Le Marchant's attack as the 'single most destructive charge made by a brigade of cavalry in the whole Napoleonic period.

Notes:

Ted Miller: Birth info from OPR Births 496/00 0030 0242 Dumbarton Register - Birth Date 24 August 1806.

Based on correspondence from Muriel Peppler, I believe that John Miller 1806 came to Canada in 1826 (unexplained date in a Robert Miller bible in the possession of Carolee, daughter of Clinton Park, granddaughter of Elizabeth Miller Park 2017).

Family lore suggests that he worked on a ships crew and left the ship in Quebec and made his way to Lanark County. He would have been 20 years of age at the time and would have qualified for a free grant of land when he reached age 21 but the land granting program was cancelled in 1827. He therefore did not receive a land grant.

It is not know at this time where he worked and lived until his marriage to Margaret Blair in Lanark, Rev. John Gemmill, in 1831 (Marriage certificate believed to have been held by Melville Millar in the 1990s). It is suspected that he may have worked for James Blair for a time and thus met his daughter Margaret. James Blair settled in Dalhousie in 1820. He died before 1834 and his son George acquired the property Dalhousie Concession 1 Lot 8 and applied for the crown patent for this lot.

1837 Crown to George Blair
1852 George Blair to Robert Bateson
1865 Robert Bateson to George Blair
1872 George Blair to Andrew Paul
1876 Andrew Paul to Stewart Miller
1881 Stewart Miller to George Blair
1885 George Blair to Jane Blair
1895 Stewart Miller and wife to James Dunham
Stewart Miller, son of John and Margaret, retured to this farm in the 1870's with his first wife, Jane Elliott, age 40 who died in 1883 and a son John, age 12 who died in 1881. Jane and her son are buried in the same plot as George Blair in the Watson Corners cemetery.

It is believed that two children were born before moving to Bathurst. One unsubstatiated suggestion is that William was born in Huntley Township, Carleton County. If this can be established it might suggest that John was engaged in the timber industry for a period. This was one of the common methods for gaining currency during this  period.

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Perth, ON
John (21 Jan 1836 - 13 Feb 1846) and Margaret (1 Feb 1835, communicant - 13- Jun 1846) were members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Perth. It lists their location as Bathurst C2 L8 at time of becoming members (1836). Margaret's location is given as Perth at time of departure from congregation.

Their children
(*PAO Toronto. MS 201 Reel#1 Church Records: Drummond, Bathurst, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church)
William - birth location to be confirmed;
Catherine - birth location and baptism to be confirmed;
James Miller born 15 Dec, 1835, chr. 8 May 1836, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3*
George Miller born 18 Sep 1837, chr. 24 Sep 1837, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, location Bathurst C2 L3*
David - born circa 1840, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County
Stewart - born c 1841, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County
Robert - born 1834-4, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County
John - born circa 1850, Rawdon Twp, Hastings County

Research on the two Bathurst Township locations gives this information:
Location from Baptismal records:
C2 L3E - 1824 Hugh Spratt
C2 L3E - 1829 Patrick Kane
C2 L3W - 1824 Michael Cullen
C2 L3W - 1825 Samuel McLellan
C2 L3W - 1841 Isaac Corry
It is probable that they rented or leased part of this lot for a period of time.

It appears that John Miller owned this lot jointly with Archibald Fraser 1833-1838. The sale to Andrew was recorded on 12 Dec 1838.

After the move to Hastings County, Land records indicate that John and Margaret resided at Rawdon C9 L21 but later acquired additional properties.

(Research):
10 Jan 2024 - Revisiting what we think we know about John Miller.

Questions to think about
1.What can be proven? Where do our assumptions lie?
2. John Miller's birth date - do we have the right John Miller? Was he born in Dumbarton or elsewhere?
3. What was his birthdate? Is there a memorial stone or cemetery records? Is there a death record? What year is recorded on each of the census records and what were the instructions to the ennumerator, e.g. next birthday versus last birthday? If recorded as "1806" does it mean he was actually born in 1805?
4. What documentation can be found in family papers, bible etc.? I have recorded what I have in files following this series of questions.
5. Proof of his arrival date and the origin of the story that he worked as a ship's carpenter assistant to earn passage when arriving?
Why did he go to the Blairs upon arrival rather than to one of the Miller families?
6. Review the two Miller genealogies published by Ernest Miller, one about 1987, the second in 1993 to look at the evolution of thinking through that period.
7. A review of letters written by other researchers re John Miller.

*****************************
What do I have?

Preliminary Printout of the Family of William Miller and Mary or Margaret Burns: Dumbarton, Scotland and Lanark County, Canada. J.R. Ernest Miller, abt 1989.

In his introductory notes it appears that he confused William Miller the son, and William Miller the father, in his assumptions (general notes). This preliminary listing of children includes those of each of the Williams in one list. He provides details of the descendants of Andrew Miller and Catherine Munro (3rd line of Bathurst and descendants known) , John Miller and Margaret Blair, and George Miller and Helen Mason (my branch in Bathurst), Thomas Miller and Elizabeth Mason (many from this family moved to North Dakota about 1860) and Janet or Jessie Miller and Robert Boyle (Australian connection).

Notes re John Miller and Margaret Blair:

At this time he is described as the son of William Miller and Mary Burns and his age is noted as 1807, death as 1881 in Rawdon. Dumbarton is suggested with a ? mark. He is noted as marrying Margaret Blair in Lanark in 1831 but notes that no records of this have been found. Two children are baptised at St. Andrew's Church, Perth - James on 8 May 1836 and George on 24 September 1837 (Rev. Thomas Clarke Wilson). The family address is given as Lot 3 Concession 2 Bathurst. A short time later they moved to Rawdon, Hastings county.

Margaret Blair is believed to be the daughter of James Blair, who settled in Dalhousie in 1820. He died before 1834 and his son George acquired the property Lot 8 concession 1, Dalhousie. Stewart Miller, son of John and Margaret returned to this property in the 1870s.

*****************************************************

The Families of William, John and Andrew Miller of Dumbarton & Cardross, Dunbartonshire, Scotland Emigrating to Lanark County, Upper Canada in 1820-1821 as compiled by J.R. Ernest Miller, 1993.

In this documents he credits Mel Miler, Gertrude Hurst, Maxine Fox and Muriel Peppler for contributions from the John Miller branch of the family. He notes that Clarice Miller Stefan contacted him about 1992 seeking info on the Miller-Munro branch of the family and she provided information of the descendants of Thomas Miller and Elizabeth Mason. Andrew Stewart found a letter in the back of a family organ that provided information on Andrew Millers son who imigrated to Australia with the Boyle family (Janet Miller). His whereabout were not known until an inquiry from Australia for information prompted a search of the 1861 census located him living with the Boyles in Lanark township. This inquiry lead to a reciprical request for info from Australia which provided much more info on Janet's family.

The letter from William Miller found in the small book The Rise and Progress of Emigration from the Counties of Lanark and Renfrew, Robert Lamond and the suggestion of two William Millers and a reference to Whitelea as William Miller Sr's  farm name Whitelea raised more questions.

Muriel Peppler researched the family in Scotland and helped to clarify and change original relationships of the the William Millers. One William (Jr.) arrived in 1820 and claimed land on concession 2 lot 14 in Dalhousie township; the second William (Sr.) arrived in 1821 and settled on concession 1 lot 15 Lanark township, across the the township border from Andrew, his son, who settled on concession 1 lot 15 Dalhousie township before moving to Bathurst in the 1830s.

William Jr. was found in the 1834 survey of settlers (LAC) but was absent from the 1841 census of settlers. His property was transferred to Alexander Parks and in documents it was indicated that William Miller had gone to Hammond, St. Lawrence County, New York in 1839. The sale of the property was registered 7 December 1853.

William Sr. was listed as deceased in the 1834 survey (later found to have died in 1825) and his widow is living on the property. Her death is recorded in the Robert Mason journals as 13 December 1839. The diaries provided info on the families of his three daughters who married Miller men.

Notes on John Miller and Margaret Blair:

John Miller 1789 (sic) married Margaret Blair in 1831 and two children were born in Bathurst. (This assumption of John Miller 1789 marrying Margaret Blair was the basis of an assumed relationship to William and Elizabeth).

*********************************************************
Notes from previous Research

One of the census (1861) shows an Isabella Miller that no one can identify. Isabella is said to have married William Milne and is buried in Burnbrae cemetery, adjoining St Andrew's Church. The inscription on their tombstone is hard to read (1981:M. Peppler) but seems to be: Isabella Miller, died 22 Feb 1883,  aged 60?, 63?, 69?. A granddaughter has her birth as 27 May 1820. This would make it unlikely that she was John and Margaret's daughter, maybe a sister?
Family, Jane Milne married William Stewart Jr.

Mary McLaughlin Miller, daughter of John and Margaret Miller, Osgoode, C10 L36, born 10 Jul 1843, baptised 16 Mar 1844.

Excerpt from a letter - decendent of Stewart & Janet Miller
The Millers and Blairs first settled in Dalhousie. Grandfather moved to Rawdon, near Campbellford; both he and grandmother Miller are buried there. Father, Mother, Uncle Robert and Aunt Agnes are buried in Rainy River.

From Ted Miller, Nov 2019
  The 1871 Census of Canada lists John Miller, age 64, as dying in April within the 12 months "preceeding the 1871 Census".

2.    The Ontario Land Registry Access Land Registry Office for Hastings County (LRO21) advises -
Page 267 of 301 of this document recorded that William, James, David, Stewart, George, John and wives & Margaret Miller - Widow" Granted 100 acres of the property of Concession 9, Lot 21, to "Robert Miller", by Grant G818 on 12 January, 1871.

Page 267 of 301 of this document recorded that William, James, David, Stewart, Robert, John and wives & Margaret Miller - Widow" Granted 50 acres of the property of Concession 9, Lot 21, to "George Miller", by Grant G814 on 12 January, 1871.

If the property of John Miller was passed to his descendants in January, 1871, that must mean that John Miller died during the April before 1871, i.e., April 1870.

Mel writes:
"I am a great grandson of John Miller (and Margaret Blair) who was a brother to the George Miller who married Helen Mason (6 Apr 1836). The family I refer to consisted of 4 sons and 3 daughters William, Thomas, George, John, Mary, Jessie and Ann. I am told the family came to Canada from Dumbarton Scotland, about the year 1822, and settled in the Lanark area. The mother's name is said to have been Mary or Margaret Burns, the fathers name John or William Miller (date of births or deaths not known to me at present)". This is where the confusion between John Miller 1789 and John Miller 1806 began.

"My grandfather was Stewart Miller who I understand was born in Rawdon, moved to Watson's Corners; first marriage Jane Elliott, second marriage to Janet Conroy. He second with his brother Robert to the Rainy River Country in the late 1890s? On my chart the first Miller I have was John Miller born in Dumbarton Scotland - came to Canada in 1820 or 1822, married Margaret (Mary) Burns, born also in Scotland.
My grandfather's parents were John Miller (son of John (sic) Miller and Margaret Burns). Last year, my husband and I were down to Lanark County, especially to Watson's Corneres, where my grandfather's store is still standing. As I was raised in Saskatchewan, there are many details missing. I would be interested to know, if you are the same branch of the Miller family. I also had a cousin Ernest Miller, who lived in Fort Francis.

"Stewart Miller was my grandfather, Janet Conroy my grandmother. Gertrude Hurst was my mother and Mel Miller was my cousin, son of Joseph and Mai Miller."

Muriel mentions her husband Harold Fox and Mel's sister Marion.

Letter from Muriel Peppler to Diane Duncan, undated.

Since my last letter to you, some new information has come to light.... It concers James Blair - the "Blairs" were one of the first original families to settle in Watson's Corners area in Dalhousie are nearby to the town of Lanark. James Blair arrived on the ship Brock in the late summer of 1820, a member of the Trans Atlantic Bridgetown Society. He took up land on the 1st concession near the Lanark depot. A document held by Muriel Hurst (of Rainy River, Ont, descendant of John Miller and Margaret Blair) states that James Blair served for 1 year duration with His Majesty's Fifth Garrison, Battalion of Foot in Scotland, 26th Regiment and elsewhere, received his discharge 1807. His discharge paper listed his birth place, Parish of Kinnard, County of Perth, Scotland. He was listed elsewhere as a weaver and did not immigrate from Ireland to Scotland, to Canada, until 13 years after his army discharge.

James Blair, original owner of the East 1/2 of Lot 8, 1st concession Dalhousie Township, also West half of lot 8 Concession 1, on Oct 1820. James died in 1837, his farm passed to his eldest son George, a yeoman of Bathurst District.

George Blair, born 1799, died 1887, age 88 years and his grave and headstone is in St Andrew's Cemetery at Watson's Corners. Also buried there is a brother, Robert, born 1807 died 7 Dec 1884. George and Robert are said to be brothers of Margaret Blair who married John Miller, 1831 in Lanark, by Rev'd Gemmill. John Blair, of near Ferguson's Falls (1863) may have been their brother, Lillias Blair who married John Stewart (1st teacher in Perth) believed to be a sister.

There is a Miss Bateson (said to have been a Blair) buried in the Watson's Corner Cemetery.

The Blair farm, was inherited in 1876 by Stewart Miller, son of John Miller & Margaret Blair. However, it is interesting to note that the map of Lanark County 1863 shows an R. Bateson, and a W. Bateson on the Blair property. I t seems to indicate that Geo. Blair had no sons and that their daughter married one of the Batesons.

I wrote a letter to Scotland re location of Crieff and Cromrie. (Early oral history linked Miller familes to these communities). They are both parishes in Perthshire and Crieff is only a few miles from Kinnard. This might indicate that the Miller family lived in these areas - or else the Blair family had relatives in these parishes? Both are a considerable distance from Dumbarton. (If Miller family came thru' the Lesmahagow Society, Lesmahagow parish is in Lanarkshire.

In order to cover the whole of Glasgow area, microfilms on these four parishes would need to be checked viz: Glasgow City Parish; Glasgow Barony Parish; Glasgow Gorbals Parish; and Govan Parish. It would really help if we knew the father's name or occupation!

My problem seems to be "where my Isabella Miller (m. Wm. Milne) fits into the picture. She certainly was connected to the Blairs since she named one of her sons Wm. Blair Milne; and my aunt was named Jessie Blair Stewart.

The letter goes on with requests for info including a reference to someone who contacted her about 20 years before. I suspect it may have been part of my grandfather's group trying to assemble info at that time. I have an original copy of the info they collected in the 1950s and 1960s. I will add that at a later time.

Letter from Muriel Peppler to Ernest Miller, 25 Jan 1978

"No doubt you will recall that my cousin, Mrs Jean Johnson, of Prescott, called you in the fall aout our Miller family history; a subject near and dear to my heart. She had a nice visit with Miss Jean Miller (my grandaunt), who called her cousin Marion Miller, to come over. The Misses Millers, said that you would be much more informaatiove on our Miller history; so rather than try to explain my relationship to you I have enclosed a chart showing the double relationship through both my grandmothers, if the information I have is correct -
i.e. Was Isabelle Miller, a daughter of John Miller and Margaret Blair? Any other daughters? Their sons were William, James, David, George, Stewart, Robert and John. I believe the first three sons were born in the vicinity of Perth, the younger boys were born in Rawdon Twp, Hastings County.

Would you know the lot and concession number where they first settled in Lanark County or Bathurst District?

Would you know the names of John's two brothers and where they settled and would you be a descendant of one of the two brothers?

My grandfather often spoke of their Miller kin in Perth and Glen Miller, Hastings County. (Any info on the families that lived in Glen Miller, Hastings?)

Would you have the birth date for gg grandpa John Miller and his precise place of origin in Scotland other than in the vicinity of Glasgow? His parent's names? The same info for gg grandma Margaret Blair?

There was a Wm. Blair who owned a hotel right behind the Perth Museum, formerly the Matheson home. Wm. Blair also made the first brick in a triangular shape. Wonder if he could have been Margaret's father. He died in 1821.

Would you have any info on the Johnston-Hackett families of Perth (vicinity). My g grandmother Ellen Johnston was born vicinity there 7  July,1831.
