      Robert Miller the subject of this sketch was born in Rutherford Co., North Carolina, 1777 October 18. He grew to manhood in the neighborhood where he was born and married a lady by the name of Condrey abt. 1799. 1800 Census, Rutherford Co., N.C. pg-130 Robert Miller.....16-26 1 female 16-26 They lived in that County a few years and after there had been born 2 or 3 children, they determined to find a location in another part of the country. Their folks triedto persuade them to stay where they were, but Robert, (as his name means a rambler), true to the meaning could not be overcome by any persuasion and they both wanted the experience of frontier life. Having accumulated some money and property, Robert saddled his horse, put his money in his saddle bags took his gunand tomahawk to mark the trail, bid his family good-bye, and took the trail to the Ohio River for Western Ohio. He struck the river below Cincinnati...not finding what he was looking for after crossing the river, he followed down theriver to what was then Western Ohio, but now Eastern Indiana. When about 100 miles below Cincinnati, after encountering many hardships through rain and swollen streams along the way, and killing several bear and panthers, seeing plently of other game of turkeys, deer and kinds that inhabited the woods, he seemed to be in the element he had been longing for. Down the river he came toa little settlement of 2 families where the old town of Madison now stands (the place where they sell their 'terbacker). They had built double log cabins of buckeye logs, as that was a very soft wood and they could chop it easy. One of the men was named Madison. He had his family in one room and his blacksmithshop in the other room. The town took its name from this man. The other man's house was of the same kind, his family in one room and a grocery store in the other room. He had for his stock of goods, whiskey, tea, sugar, tobacco, coffee (and it was not browned as it is now), powder lead, and gun-flints. They did not have gun caps then, but used the flints to fire their guns. This man's name was Vauter, I think. The 2 families consisted of 10 or 12, mostly boys and girls. The land was still gov- ernment land at $1.25 per acre. The land was covered with heavy growth of timber. Some of the walnut timber in the state the largest Sycamore of any along the river. But Miller did not like the situation nor the looks of the Hill and thinking it might be sickly with the river on one side and the hill on the other, he climbed the hill and took a northwestcourse and after wandering through the woods, cutting his way with tomahawk and butcher knife, and after a few days and nights in the woods, his horse living on the grass in the woods, and Miller on game of the kinds he chose to eat, but mostly bear meat for it agreed with him better than any other kind of wild meat...I have heard him say he could eat all of the bear meat he could hold,and drink a pint of the oil, and not make him a bit sick. After looking overthe country for a few days, he located a place for a home in what afterwards was Jefferson County (then Ohio), and after marking out land and a place to build a home on the hill across the creek north of where the Indian wigwam poleswere still standing. Mr. Miller then took his course on horseback to the landoffice, I think at Columbus, Ohio, paid for his land in gold and silver, (we had no paper money then), and headed for his home in the tar-heel state, and after a hard ride of over 200 miles through rain and mud, and swollen streams, and after several days, arried home to give an account of his adventures. 1810 about this time returned to North Carolina. After his years crop was matured and he made arrangements for his wife and children, he took his leave again for the fall and winter. Full of life and vim, he took the road for his home in the woods, where he arrived somet.
