Isaac N. MILLER, farmer and stock raiser, New Ross, was born in Greene county, Ohio, December 13, 1826. He is a son of Robert and Hannah (WHITE) Miller, both natives of Pennsylvania. Robert Miller's father, Isaac N., and mother were born in England, and emigrated to America prior to the revolution, in which war he was a captain. Mrs. Hannah (White) Miller's parents were born in Ireland. The Whites are descendants of the old Scotch Covenanters, and drifted into United Presbyterianism. Robert and Hannah came to Greene county, Ohio, about 1805. There they farmed till death. He died in 1833, and she in 1834. At the age of nineteen years Isaac N. worked on the farm, then began carpentering, which he followed for about twelve years. In 1848 Mr. Miller traveled westward, and stopped at Ladoga, where he followed his trade. March 8, 1849, Mr. Miller was married to Nancy A. CORN, daughter of William and Sarah E. (ALLEN) Corn, and cousin of the Hon. Joseph Allen (deceased), of Montgomery county. She was born October 26, 1829, in Montgomery county, whither her parents had come about the year 1828. About 1857 Mr. Miller purchased about eighty acres of land in Sec. 33, Walnut township, and became a farmer, in which occupation he has been eminently successful. He has added to his first eighty acres till now he owns 256-1/2 acres. A stately residence costing $3,000 and a large barn add great value to the well cultivated farm. He keeps a great deal of stock, and, as asserted by the appraiser, his farm is the second best in Walnut township. In politics Mr. Miller is true and outspoken. He was rocked in a whig cradle, and has ever sought to perpetuate the principles of republicanism. He has been an Odd-Fellow since 1849, and is also a Knight of Pythias. He and wife are members of the Missionary Baptist church. They have four children: John W., George A., Henry A. and Benjamin F.

The lintel of Jas.
Lee’s new business house on Washington Street is a yellow poplar plate
from a house built by Isaac Miller on the lot adjoining the Shermen
(sic) House in 1822. The wood was perfect, and as may be supposed
thoroughly seasoned. Mr. Miller was a Revolutionary soldier and the
grandfather of Jacob Miller of this city, himself an aged man.
