Daniel Sr. was most likely born in the western third of Frederick County, Maryland which was later established as Washington County in 1776. This region was settled by German immigrants who came by way of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the late 1720s.
The MILLER family moved from the area of Frederick and Washington counties north and over the Allegheny Mountains to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, likely in the early 1780's. Daniel's father sold his estate and moved to Campbell County, Kentucky in 1795 and then about the time of Ohio statehood in 1803 Daniel moved north from Kentucky to the area of Montgomery and Preble counties near Dayton in western Ohio. Daniel's next younger brother David also followed the same migration and settled in Montgomery County by 1800.
Daniel MILLER, Sr. died in Randolph, Montgomery County, Ohio on August 22, 1822 at the age of 67. He is buried at Sugar Hill German Baptist Cemetery near West Alexandria in Preble County, Ohio.
Elizabeth (ULRICH) MILLER, the daughter of Stephen and Elizabeth ULRICH, died 12 years later in September 1834. She was about 77 years old.
David MILLER4 (~1757-1845)
11HC. David MILLER4 was born on either December 1, 1757 or January 17, 1758 in Frederick County (likely present-day Washington County), Maryland. He married Magdalena Abigail MAUGANS2, a native of present-day Washington County, Maryland, and fathered nine children:
| 11HC1. | Michael MILLER | 10 May 1784 | 18 Dec 1856 | (72) |
| 11HC2. | Lydia MILLER | (1785) | (1805) | (20) |
| 11HC3. | Esther MILLER | 30 May 1787 | 21 Apr 1861 | (73) |
| 11HC4. | Catherine MILLER | (1791) | >1860 | (>69) |
| 11HC5. | Elizabeth H. MILLER5 | 1793 | 4 Apr 1865 | (71) |
| 11HC6. | Jacob MILLER | 17 Feb 1795 | 8 Oct 1861 | (66) |
| 11HC7. | Susannah MILLER | (1798) | (1852) | (54) |
| 11HC8. | Nancy MILLER | 1800 | 1822 | (22) |
The MILLERs likely began their marriage in Washington County, Maryland and then moved north and west over the Allegheny Mountains into Bedford County, Pennsylvania settling in the area of Morrisons Cove and Woodbury in the mid-1780's. Here they began their family. About 1795 it appears they moved to Kentucky, likely following David's father Philip Jacob who moved to Campbell County, Kentucky in 1795.
Following David's father's death in 1799, David moved north into western Ohio and settled in Randolph, Montgomery County by 1800.
Magdalena Abigail (MAUGANS) MILLER died in Randolph on 24 March 1833.
David MILLER died 12 years later on August 18, 1845 in Randolph. David is buried at his old homestead at present-day 9476 Haber Road in Randolph, along with his son Michael, and several descendants who make up a family cemetery of 20 graves.
