Note: he was probably the James Miller who "paid for his own and his wife's passage" on the "Tristram and Jane", 1637, and had enough left over to pick up an indentured servant, William Browne, at the end of the voyage. http://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/tristramjane.htm (He and his wife - and possibly child(ren) - seem to have been the only passengers who weren't, well, cargo.)
