Miller, sr., became possessed of the bulk of his father's real estate and on a portion of it, in the year 1762, laid out and established the town of Annville, known as Millerstown for a century or more. It is now quite a little city, with a college and flourishing industries within its environments. He was married by the Rev. John Waldsmidt, pastor of Cocalico, Maiden Creek, Selternreich and Wesiachenland churches, to Rebecca, daughter of Philip Epprecht. He removed to Cumberland county and purchased a tract of land in Allen township on the Yellow Breeches Creek called "Round Hill" from the fact that on this tract is a very perfect sugar loaf shaped hill. He died in 1805, and lies buried on the apex of this hill. He purchased this tract May 1, 1777, and is assessed first in Allen township in 1778. He was a Revolutionary soldier. Joseph, Jacob and Andrew Miller, sons of Abraham and Rebecca (Epprechit) Miller, removed from Cumberland county, Pa., to Carroll county, Ohio, about 1820-5.
