Miller - John N. - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Valentine Miller and his twin brother, John N. Miller, who live out on Black Creek, near this city, claim to be the oldest twins in Indiana. They are sons of Valentine Miller, who was born in Virginia. The twins were born six miles north of Columbus seventy three years ago. Valentine Miller came to Crawfordsville in 1850 and settled on Black Creek, and his brother came ten years later. Both are still able to work their farms. During their lives they have not been separated for any great length of time. They delight in telling stories of pioneer days, when they made trips to Indianapolis behind teams. Both belong to the United Brethren Church and both are Populists. One has been mistaken for the other many times. Each of the brothers has seven children living. John has nineteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The other, Valentine, has twelve grandchildren. - kz
