MILLER.
There have been three Miller families in Ryegate, and tlieir records are given in the order of their coming here.
ANDREW Miller, son of James Miller, farmer in Chapel, came here from Barns of Clyde, Parish of Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, in 1786, with Robert Brock, Senior, who m. his aunt, Jean Miller. Elizabeth Miller who m. James Nelson as 3d wife, came at the same time, and is understood to have been his sister. Very little is known about him, but he appears to have been agent for parties in Scotland, and was an educated man who wrote an excellent hand and was more than once chosen a committee to visit schools. He m. in 1803, Margaret Mc- Clary who came from the north of Ireland in the family of Rev. Win. Gibson. He seems to have been living here as late as 1812, but his after history or that of his family is unknown. The names and dates of birth of their children from the town records, are given here for preservation.

.Alexander Miller, son in-law to David Allan, intends coming to Ryegate the ensuing summer as proprietor of at least 13 lots. David Allan wishes that you and James Henderson could clear about two acres at his expense on the most convenient and fertile spots on any of the lots which you can for- see will fall to his share. This will be a considerable advantage to him for something of an earlier crop than he could have otherwise. The charges Alexander Miller will pay on his arrival in Ryegate.
He settled where George Gebbie lives and erected good buildings. Alexander Miller, b. Inchinnan. Renfrew, Scotland, who was, says Edward Miller, of the Millers of Calder, m. in 1780, Jean, dau. David Allan, b. Inchinnan, 1760. In 1784, with their two children. one of whom d. at sea, they came to Am., reaching Ryegate Sept. 1st. Their church certificate, dated at Inehinnan, May 1, 1784, was signed by Archibald Davidson, minister, and Alexander Stewart, Session clerk ; they joined the Associate ch. on their arrival but withdrew from it and united in 1800 with the Covenanters. In Scotland he had been a quarrier and stone mason and in 1807, he with Allan Stewart, Robert Gibson, Jonathan Page, John Craig, Ora Willnot and Stewart Har- vey, were engaged to get out stone for the State prison at Wind- sor. He had charge for two seasons of the men who were getting out the.stone on Mount Aseutney. In 1809 he bought land on Wells River at what is now called the Quint place where he erected buildings and a saw mill and a grist mill in which he made hulled barley. The locality was called " Miller's Mills" for many years. Alexander Miller, says Mr. Mason, was highly esteemed, and accounted a man of excellent business judgment. He d. Feb. 12, 1835, aged 76, and she d. Feb. 22, 1839, in her 78th year. Bur. at Ryegate Corner.
