His father, James was Scotch Irish and a Staunch Presbyterian whose immigrant father settled near Charleston, South Carolina in 1758 . In 1826, John Miller married Nancy Mary Wilson, of Tennessee, the daughter of Joseph Wilson, a farmer and a trader. Nancy Mary and John are listed in the 1830 Federal Census of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1835, the Millers and their children purchased $3000.00 worth of land in Dade County, Georgia., Dist. No. 21, near Rising Fawn. John Miller was a county and probate judge as well as a substantial farmer according to a biography by his son, George R. Miller, of Polk County, Arkansas. Early records show they were of the Presbyterian Denomination who later embraced the Methodist Episcopal church. Five of the sons served the Confederacy; Joseph died in a prison camp. A daughter, Elizabeth, died giving birth to her first daughter. She is the only Miller buried in the beautiful Miller Cemetery located on the plantation. Elizabeth was married to Casper Tatum. The daughter of Elizabeth and Casper, Nancy Tatum, was raised by the Tatums initially, but is buried in Arkansas near her Miller grandparents. Four of the sons married women from Dade County: George R. Miller married Martha Davis, Joseph married her sister, Sarah Davis. James married Elizabeth Killian; John Thornton Miller married Sara L Russell.
