Henry Miller

In 1702, in Dunster, Somerset, England, Henry Miller of Bradnich, Devonshire, married Sarah Deeble, the daughter of George and Dorothy Deeble of Alcombe. The ceremony was held publicly at the Minehead Meeting in Somerset County. They were Quakers. In 1714, Henry, Sarah and four Miller children – John, Dorothy, Sarah and Henry – emigrated to Chester Couny, Pennsylvania and settled in Upper Providence, Chester County. He bought several hundred acres of land in the Ridley Creek area, which bore some resemblance to his home in Devon. Another son, George was born in 1716. His wife Sarah died in 1731 and he died 1732.
