      Abraham Miller, Jr
      Birth: 1740, Frederick County, Maryland, USA
      Death: 1808, Centre County, Pennsylvania, USA

      Also known as Abraham Müller. Son of Frances and Abraham Miller, Sr. Married Margaretha Hützel 24 Feb 1761 in Frederick, Maryland. Seven known children:

      • Anna Maria, wife of Walter Schook
      • George
      • John
      • Eva, wife of Adam Troughtman
      • Magdalene, wife of James Crawford
      • Susanna, wife of Jacob Holter
      • Catharina

      In 1800 son John Miller and Daniel Krause had purchased 215 acres with a saw- and grist-mill on the eastern side of present-day Howard. Miller and Krause had been operating these mills as early as April 1798 when they appear on the tax lists. In 1803, Abraham and Margaretha sold their 216 acres near Emmitsburg, Frederick County, Maryland and followed their son John to Centre County, along with four of their daughters (Maria, Susanna, Magdalene, and Catharina) and their families. Here they probably joined the Mennonite congregation headed by Michael Schenck. Son John later sold part of his land to William Tipton in 1811 and the remaining 196 acres and 2 mills to James Crawford in 1814 after moving to Steuben County, New York. Abraham and Margaret remained in Centre County the rest of their days. Abraham's will was written on August 18, 1808 and probated on October 24, 1808. It was witnessed by Michael Schenck and Frederick Schenck.
