    Notes:

    "History of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania", published in Chicago by Water, Watkins & Co. in 1884, pg 362:

    "The Millers of Milligan's cove are very numerous, and are reckoned among the most enterprising and influential citizens of the township. They are descendants from Elias Miller, an early pioneer. John Miller, a brother of Elias, and, like him, a soldier in the revolutionary war, also settled in the cove. His son John - known to all the early residents as Big John, for the fact that he was tall, and weighed over three hundred pounds - lived and died on the place which afterward became the Carpenter and Baker farms.

    Elias Miller was a native of Loudoun county, Virginia, and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, at Yorktown. Shortly after the war he came to Bedford county and lived on Dunning's creek, whence he was often obliged to take shelter in the Bedford fort during the Indian hostilities. He afterward moved to the cove, married Mary Leiberger, and spent the remainder of his days on the place where his grandson, J. R. Miller, now lives. He lived to be about eighty-six, and was remarkably strong and healthy until the very last. He and his brother John located in the woods, and were afterward joined by other members of the family. They had a shop, and carried on weaving. Their brother Peter lived on the farm now occupied by A. M. Miller. Another brother, Abraham, moved to Somerset, became sheriff of that county, and officiated in that capacity at the celebrated hanging of the Frenchman.

    Elias Miller had two sons, Abraham and John E., both of whom lived in the cove. Abraham was a minister of the Christian church many years. John E. lived on the old homestead and died there in 1876, at the age of sixty-eight. His wife was Hannah Carpenter. They reared a family of eleven children, nine of whom are still living: Michael C., A. M., Elijah, Eve (Martin), Mary (deceased), Jacob (deceased), Ephraim, Simon, Amanda (Swartzwalter), Hannah (Diehl), and J.R."
