The first settler in this region was Garrett Miller, who located
about one mile north of Millerton, on the hill and directly on the state
line, a portion of his cabin being in each state - New York and Pennsylvania.
This was in the summer of 1790, and he came from Orange County, New York.
The family consisted of Mr. Miller, his wife Mary, his sons, Samuel, Joshua,
Garrett, and Nathan, and daughters, Patience and Sally. Two sons, James
and George and a daughter Peggy were born later in the new home, making
in all a family of the father, mother, and nine children.
A portion of the route traversed was down Wyalusing Creek to
the Susquehanna, which was then crossed and the party made their way to
the Chemung Valley, which they ascended to the site of what is now Elmira,
then a city composed of three small huts. Colonel John Hendy occupied one
of these, having first squatted near where the woolen factory is now located;
from this place he was later dislodged and settled near the present site
of Fitch’s Bridge.
In his search for a desirable spot in which to locate, Mr. Miller came
up the Seely Creek Valley to the mouth of Mud Lick, proceeded up that little
stream about two miles, then struck a southward course until he reached
the point of settlement as noted above. There they resided about two years
before discovering the site of Millerton, and lower down the junction of
Seely and Hammond Creeks, a search for a lost horse and cow resulted in
this discovery of a region which for many generations thereafter was to
bear his name.
How the Miller Family eked out an existence in those days is
not known, is probable, however, that they subsisted chiefly on wild game
which was plentiful. It is a tradition handed down through several generations
that Mr. Miller’s first field of grain was fenced in with four hemlock
trees, and their farming must have begun on almost as primitive a scale
as that of Robinson Crusoe.
Much might be written descriptive of the forays of wild animals,
the difficulty of raising stock, the personal danger incurred, etc., and
later many incidents in this connection will be touched upon. Wolves, bears
and panthers infested the wilderness in which Mr. Miller’s home was located
to an alarming extent, and eternal vigilance and activity was the price
of existence. Sheep, lambs, and calves fell prey to the wolves, which would
sometimes chase the dogs home and through the blanket hung over the cabin
door to a place of comparative safety.
As the sons and daughters successfully arrived at years of maturity
they married, but live Cain, were compelled to look elsewhere for life
partners. They settled on land adjoining their parents homestead and sturdily
struggled for the means of subsistence. Those Miller boys were no dudes,
we may be sure, but they were liberally endowed with brains, muscles, and
sand.
Samuel Miller married a young woman named Polly Garner, daughter
of Billy Garner, who lived near Elmira or Newton.
Joshua Miller found a wife back in Orange County, New York, afterward
known as Aunt Dolly.
Garrett Miller, Jr., married Sally Batterson from near where
Troy, Pa., is now located.
Nathan Miller married Fanny Kelly, whose family lived near the
State Line.
James Miller married Becky Kinner, from the site of Pine City.
George Miller married Hannah Strock, from Southport.
Patience Miller married John Wilson, and they located on the
Tioga River, for a second husband she married William Kinner, from Southport
near Bulkhead.
Sally Miller married Samuel Smith.
Peggy Miller married a man named Beebe and they moved west.
The majority of these people were later settlers from Orange
County, New York.
The first school here of which the narrator has any recollection
was taught about 68 years ago (1823) by Ben Miller, in a back room of Samuel
Miller’s little log cabin. For an attendance of twenty eight days he received
twenty eight six pence (sixpence: a british silver coin of the value of
six pennies) and traveled two miles through a pathless region back and
forth in the deep snow. This was certainly seeking knowledge through extreme
difficulties.
To obtain flour, the Miller boys would work by the day at Griswolds,
Daniel Beckwiths and Jenkins just below Elmira, thus earning a quantity
of grain, which once a year would be made into a cargo and conveyed by
flat boat to Wilkes Barre, the nearest mill where it could be ground. These
trips were very laborious, especially the return against the current. Corn
meal was pounded out at home, Indian fashion, and it was common saying,
when the cow laid out we had no supper.
In raising sheep and calves, to guard them against the wolves,
bears and panthers a pen would be built for their protection adjoining
the cabin, so constructed that should the varmints get in they were caged
and could not escape.
The stalwart sons of Garrett Miller, Sr., as they approached
manhood became expert hunters and marksmen. In their frequent encounters
with savage wild beasts they were extremely fortunate, the only case of
injury reported being that of Joshua, who had one hand badly bitten in
a life and death struggle with a bear.
Samuel, the eldest used to say that he was never startled or
alarmed but once in his life, he had been over in the Daggetts Mills area,
and in returning struck the paths of panthers on Parmeter Hill. He took
a circle around and found they were pursuing him and be started for Millerton
on the run. Securing a dog he took the back track and treed the panthers
and shot them.
What would those old hunters have thought if they could had placed
in their hands Winchester Repeaters like those of modern make (Elmira Star
Gazette, Elmira, New York, June 12, 1891).
Second Generation:
1. Samuel Miller b. 28 May 1779 m. Mary Gardner, known
as Polly, b. 2 Nov 1780 daughter of William Gardner and

(probably that portion that became Jackson
Township), recorded 17 July 1810. Polly d. 8 Mar 1842 61y 4m 6d (ts) and

and his posterity.
Died in Jackson, Tioga Co., Pa., on the 8th inst., Mrs. Polly, consort of Mr. Samuel Miller in the 62nd year of her age (Tioga Eagle, Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1842).

21. Elvira B. Miller b. 20 Nov 1824 m. 17 July 1845 (Elmira
Gazette, July 24, 1845) at the residence of Rev.
Simeon R. Jones in Southport, Chemung County, New York, William H.
Crosby of Wisconsin. Resided Adams County, Wisconsin.
Mrs. Hannah Seely, whose decease was briefly noted in the Advocate a few weeks since, was the mother of a large family of children, namely: Lyman Seely of Lyndon, Illionois; Samuel and Polly, who lived with their mother on the farm; Mrs. Alvira Trowbridge; Mrs. L. C. Retan, who died in 1875; and Mrs. Elmira Murdough, four of whom survive her. Mrs. Seely was a daughter of Captain Sam Miller who immigrated to this county in the year 1800 and settled on what is known as the Arnold Farm in Millerton. It was a dense wilderness at that time; and he with his fathers and five brothers, with their household goods loaded on wagons drawn by oxen and horses and driving their cattle before them, cut their way through the forest from what is now Elmira to the place of settlement. They left the level and fertile valley of the Chemung and pushed their way through the forest of Pennsylvania for the reason that the latter was a better hunting ground, the land was more heavily timbered and they were not so much exposed to Indian attacks, as they stood in some fear of a tribe of Senecas who dwelt near Lake Seneca. Hammonds Creek was then full of trout, deer and bear were 0 plentiful. The settler could go out for a half hour before breakfast and return with one or two of the latter. Captain Sam was a great hunter and a prominent man among the early settlers of Tioga County, helping to establish the county seat, and in 1835 he helped draw the stone for the court house at Wellsboro. His tombstone in Millerton Cemetery bears the following inscription: Captain Samuel Miller The Pioneer of this Town, resided here 57 years, died Sept. 16th, 1856, aged 71 years and 4 months. The Napolean of hunters, the kind and affectionate relative and the generous friend. This humble monument, erected by friends who knew him long and well, is designed to claim a tribute to well merited respect from their descendants and his posterirty (Millerton Advocate newspaper).
