Profile says Ancestor #: A078914 but he appears conflated with https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=ful... and is presently attached as Germanna descendant---

From the inbox:
Managers of Pvt. Henry Miller, Sr.,

I am contacting you about this profile: Pvt. Henry Miller, Sr.

I don't think that this Henry Miller is a son of Hermann/Harman Mueller/Miller and Elizabeth Holtzclaw as this Henry Miller was born in 1727 in Germany, but Hermann/Harman Mueller/Miller was born in 1716 in Freudenberg, so he was only 11 years old and his mother, Elizabeth Holtzclaw, wasn't born until 1725-1730 in Virginia, so it's impossible that he's their son. And, Hermann/Harman Mueller/Miller and Elizabeth Holtzclaw had no sons named Henry, their family is well documented.

We have this Henry Miller in the Germanna Database, but there are no parents for him and it's thought that he was born in Keipoltz which is in southern Germany, not the Siegerland where the Mueller/Miller family immigrated from.

We will have to correct the profile with the sources for the information which is noted in Louise Keyser Cockey, "Henry and Susanna Miller," Beyond Germanna, 1, no. 5, (September 1989): 43-44 by John Blankenbaker and Germanna Record No. 5: Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau-Siegen Immigrants to Virginia 1714-1750 ((1964): 12-13, 424, 426-428 by Dr. BC Holtzclaw as Dr. Holtzclaw traces the ancestry of the Mueller/Miller family in addition to all of the 1714 Immigrants and members of the Little Fork Colony that immigrated in the 1730's to Virginia from the Siegerland, many of them relatives of the 1714 Immigrants.

Sincerely,

Stepping off so others can work on the profile and I will revisit.
A project of same named men might be helpful as the DAR patriots really deserve their own profile especially since there has been so much work already done.

Thanks for bringing attention, Barbara Price, A509195!

(I counted 25 Henry Miller and 1 Heinrich plus two Hendrick Miller---- I didn't even look for Mueller lol)

Oops 25 Henry Miller---

I was working on the Mueller/Miller family for someone and thought I would check the Geni Profiles! Glad that I did!

It will get straightened out!
