Additional information provided by Find A Grave contributor Karl Miller 06 APR 19:

It appears that Joseph Miller was born in Springfield, MA a. The banns of marriage 1744/1/19 say that both Joseph and his prospective wife were from Springfield b, The history of Ludlow Centennial, 1874, pp36-37 notes: In 1751, came the family of Joseph Miller, braving the terrors and real dangers of a journey fourteen miles into the forest, away up the Chicopee river, to the Elihu J. Sikes place, later the home of Frank Sikes, now owned by the Collins Manufacturing Company. The friends in their former home, West Springfield, mourned them tis dead, and tradition has even stated that a funeral sermon was preached over their departure, lender their careful management, a pleasant home, charmed by the music of the running stream, was soon secured. As the wild forest trees succumbed to the prowess of the chopper, tender plants grew up in the home, and made the desert region glad by the echoes of childish prattle. They brought with them a female slave, who afterwards married. …..when the town was incorporated, in 1774, there were from two to three hundred inhabitants.
