from Genealogy of Jacob Miller and His Descendants by Everett W. Miller:

Jacob, Jr., born 1726, died 1806, married twice: First, Elizabeth Fudge in 1746 who bore him 9 children; 8 living to maturity. She died March 13, 1777, after they crossed the Allegheny Mountains and settled on Rich Creek just west of the present village of Lindside, Monroe County, W. Va. Second, Margaret Sullivan, who bore him 7 children.

from THE FAMILY OF JACOB MILLER, JR., BY HIS SON PETER (1863):

JACOB MILLER, JR., first son of Jacob, Sr., was born in 1726 in Pennsylvania, 30 miles from Philadelphia, near Falkner's Swamp. He removed to Rockingham County, Va., and married Elizabeth Fudge about the year 1748 or '49. She bore him 9 children; 8 of them lived to maturity, being as follows: (We don't have date of birth and death of these) 1-Jacob, the Third 2-Charles 3-Mary 4-Elizabeth 7-John 5-Katherine 8--George 6-Barbary JACOB, III, married an Estill [Note: The Estills were among the first settlers in Monroe County, one family settling on Indian Creek just below the mouth of Dropping Lick some years before the Millers and Manns settled there, according to Land Grants and Morton's History of Monroe County] and went to Kentucky where he raised a large family. At an advanced age he moved to Illinois where he died from bleeding at the nose. 2nd-CHARLES: Went with Jacob to Kentucky. Never married. 3rd-MARY: Married Augustine Price, whose children live in Warren County, Ohio. 4th-ELIZABETH: Married a Caperton (Hugh). Many of their descendants are now living in Monroe County, W. Va. (1863). [Note: As I remember when a boy, the Caperton home was situate about a half mile north of Union, Monroe County, and was a very fine estate, the Capertons being wealthy; U. S. Senator Allen T. Caperton being of this family.] 5th-KATHERINE: Married a Walker and moved to Texas at an early day, where she raised her family. 6th-BARBARY (1767-1852): Married Rev. John Maddy, lived her 85 years on a farm near Greenville, Monroe County, W. Va., and raised nine children that lived to maturity. [Note: She was the grandmother of the Greenville Maddies.] 7th-JOHN: Married a Handley, a cousin of old Billy, in 1803. In middle life he moved to Decatur County, Indiana, where he raised most of his family. He died at an advanced age. 8th-GEORGE (1770-1855): Married a Swope and had 13 children, all of whom he settled on farms of their own (supposedly in Monroe County in the Rich Creek sector). At an advanced age he moved to Iowa, where he died at the age of 85. This ends the history of said Jacob Miller's children by his first wife. In 1775 he moved from Rockingham County, Va., to Monroe County, where his wife died, March 13, 1777, and was buried on Rich Creek.
