My John died in 1798. He has the names of 'Hannes', 'Wounded', 'Indian' and
'Crippled'. His line is found in Amish & Amish Mennonite Genealogy. He had
son's with the names you note below. He also had four daughters:
Catherine, Mary, Veronica, Susanna, and Barbara. John Jr., Jacob and Peter
lived in Elklick and Summit Township. Joseph and Christian moved to present
day Jenner and Conemaugh Townships. There were also three Christian
Millers in northern Somerset County. One is Christian 'Glades' Miller, who
was the son of John. The other two being Christian 'Schmidt' Miller, and a
Christian 'Keim' Miller. John's homestead is currently owned by a Thomas
Maust, and is just outside of the town of Berlin. John and his second wife
Magdalena are buried on the farm. There is a log house on the farm that
likely was built by John.
