History Posted 08 Jun 2009 by loisjbrown60 Philip Jacob MILLER3 was born in 1726 in Rheinland, Preussen (Preußen), Germany. He emigrated the following year to the American colonies and grew up in Pennsylvania. He married Magdalena ROCHETTE, a native of former Frederick County, Maryland, in Pennsylvania in 1751 and fathered 13 children: 11HA. Lydia MILLER 18 Dec 1754 11HB.

The MILLERs owned land north of Hagerstown, then in Frederick County, now Washington County, from 1745. He and two elder brothers resurveyed their father's land known as "Ash Swamp" in 1752. In December 1783 he acquired his brother Lodowich's 220 acres for 5 shillings and turned around and sold 144 acres to his eldest brother John Peter for 5 shillings "and brotherly affection."

See MILLER Property Summary for a chronology of MILLER property holdings in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Following brother John Peter's death in December 1794, John Peter's estate sold off the 143½ acres to John SCHNEBLY in 1795 and Philip turned around and also sold the rest of his "Ash Swamp" property to John SCHNEBLY and moved to Campbell County, Kentucky, opposite Cincinnati, Ohio to the northwest, along with several of his grown children.

Philip also bought 2,000 acres of land that lay along O'Bannon Creek in Warren County, Ohio, northeast of Cincinnati, for $1.10 per acre. After his death, his children made an agreement among themselves to divide this land into ten 200-acre parcels. Magdalena, decided to take her share in cash. The other children drew lots for the 200-acre parcels, but only a few of them ever lived on their land in Warren County, Ohio.

Philip died in Campbell County in August or September 1799. He was about 73 years old.

His widow, Magdalena (ROCHETTE) MILLER also died in in Campbell County nine years later in 1808.

Following Philip Jacob's and Magdalena's deaths, several MILLER children settled in southwest Ohio counties of Warren, Clermont, Montgomery, and Preble. Daughters Susannah and Magdalena migrated into northern Indiana, settling in Elhkart County.

Note that both Daniel Sr. and David MILLER are highlighted as they are both our direct ancestors. Daniel's son Isaac married David's daughter Elizabeth as cousins.

Except from "The Brethren Encyclopedia" Entry on Jacob MILLER (1735-1815): In 1796 Philip J. moved to Campbell Co., KY, where he died in 1799. Members of his family were charter members of the Stonelick, OH, congregation in 1802. Later some family members (Daniel and David) moved into Montgomery Co., OH. Philip's daughter Magdalene married Daniel CRIPE, who was a leader in the southern Ohio church and later established the congregation in Elkhart Co., IN (1829)."
