Family

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Miller-59502

I am getting comfortable in assuming that Patrick Miller, Sr.’s sister Hannah (Miller-59502) Lee (b- c. 1628) married Thomas Lee-23237 (b- c.1622 Worcestershire, England; died Middlesex Co., Virginia). On 11/1/1675 in Middlesex County, Virginia, "Hannah Lee sues over a mare bequeathed by Patrick Miller, her brother, to Sarah Miller”. Patrick Miller noted in this document transcription would be Patrick Miller-29807, Sr.

I could not find a birth record of a Hannah Miller that would fit this Hannah Miller. Her brother Patrick Miller was believed to have been born in 1620 in Scotland and he died likely in the 1670's in Middlesex Co., VA. So Hannah Miller could have been born some years prior to or after 1620. I just assumed she was born in 1628.

Thomas Lee was [unproven] the uncle of Col. Richard Henry Lee who married Laetitia Corbin (b-1657 Christ Church Parish, Middlesex Co., VA). Laetitia Corbin was the sister of Col. Gawin Corbin (b-1669 Christ Church Parish, Middlesex Co., VA; D- 1744 King & Queen Co., Virginia).

Col. Gawin Corbin-188 was documented in 1698 as owning the ship “Token” with John Miller who likely was my 6th great grandfather, John Miller who died in 1742 and had properties in Middlesex and King & Queen Co., Virginia. John Miller is thought to be the son of Patrick Miller, Sr. - link below:
