Lorraine Llewellyn e-mailed, 1) Harry Middleton Hyatt Revision of
Millers of Millersburg {FHL US/CAN Film 1550353, {All Caps unless
otherwise noted are by L.F.L. 2006}
Harry Middleton Hyatt writes in: Notebook of a revision of "The
Millers of Millersburg, Kentucky, pp. 1-45}. Page 4 item # 7
Document # 2: "MILLER, Elizabeth (or Lucy) - the story is similar to
the one told of Bryant's Station {S. 16}. The Millers and several
other families were being besieged in their blockhouse by the
Indians when the water supply gave out. Not having a man to spare
and thinking that the Indians would not harm a young girl, Elizabeth
was sent out to a nearby spring. She was returning, in fact had
almost reached the blockhouse, when she was shot and instantly
killed by the Indians. The girl was about twelve or thirteen years
old" (p. 27; Lorraine's note: Of the first Millers of Millersburg).
I suggested in a footnote (p 27) that this episode must have
happened while the Millers were still living at Fort Beargrass
(present Louisville; see S. 20) since I associated the tragedy, as
perhaps did my grandfather (I could no longer remember in 1929),
Kentucky. We will learn from Robert ROBISON that this family murder
occurred in Pennsylvania before the Millers moved to Kentucky.
Page 5, Document # 3. Robert ROBISON, one of the early pioneers of
Sherman's Valley (S 5) left a narrative in which he says: "I forgot
to give you an account of a murder done at our fort in Sherman's
Valley, in July, 1756; the Indians waylaid the fort {Fort Robinson,
S 6>} in harvest-time, and kept quite until the reapers were gone;
James WILSON, remaining some time behind the rest, and I not being
gone to my business, which was hunting deer for the use of the
company, WILSON standing at the fort gate {perhaps waiting for this
wife to reenter the fort before he left}, I desired to shoot his gun
at a mark, upon which he gave me the gun, and I shot; the Indians on
the upper side of the fort, thinking they were discovered, rushed on
a DAUGHTER OF ROBERT MILLER [Caps, by H.M.H. underline by L.F.L.],
and instantly killed her, and shot at John SIMMESON [who immediately
fled to notify the reapers or to the safety of the fort]; they then
made the best of it that they could [knowing that the screams, shots
or possible notification by SIMMESON would soon bring the absent
reapers], and killed the wife of James WISON, and the Widow GIBSON
[her maiden name was McClelland, D, ], and took [her son] Hugh
GIBSON [D. ], and Betsy HENRY prisoners. While the Indian was
scalping Mrs. GIBSON [D.], the narrator shot at and wounded him, but
he made his escape. The reapers, being 40 in number returned to the
fort, and the Indians made off" (quoted by I. Daniel Rupp, The
History and Topography of Duuhin, Cumberland, Franklin, Bedfored,
Adams, and Perry Counties, Lancaster City, PA., 1846 p. 559

Kirksville, MO. April 30, 1919
Commissioner of pensions Washington Dc
Sir, will you please tell me whether Joseph McClintock of Penn.
received a pension for his services in the Revolutionary War?
Joseph McClintock was a private soldier in Capt. John Jacks Co. 2d
Battalion, Cumberland Co. Pa. Col. Thos. Gibison in 1778 and in
1780. He was in Capt., John Adams Co. 5th Battalion, Cumberland Co.
He died in 1799 in PA.
Also John Miller of Cumberland Co. PA. fought in the Revolutionary
War. He was born 1752 and died in 1815. He lived in or near
Carlisle, Cumberland Co. PA, but at the time of his death her was
living in Millersburg, Bourbon Co. Ky. John Miller received a grant
of land in Kentucky, but so far I have been unable to find out why
he received this land. Can you tell me about this grant?
If you have no record of a grant of land given to John Miller of Pa.
is there any place I can write to find out about this grant?
Could the Miller brothers have made a purchase from the government?
thank you for any help you may be able to give me.
Sincerely
Mrs. Warner Mills

Mrs. Warner Mills
Kirksville, Missouri
Madam;
In response to your letter of the thirtieth ultimo, you are advised
that the records of the Bureau show that Warrant No. 10,110, for 100
acres of bounty land was issued November 5, 1788, in favor of John
Miller, on account of was services as a Private is in the
Pennsylvania troops, Revolutionary War. (underlined as on document)
There is no further information, as there are no papers on file in
this Bureau, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the
War Office 1800.
For the location of said land, apply to the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, citing all the data in the first paragraph of
this letter.
Very truly yours,
(name not clear enough to spell here)
Commissioner."__
