Abraham MILLER Sr.
(MAY 1749 - 19 AUG 1824)
Abraham came from Bavaria about 1778, landing at Baltimore, MD., but unfortunately the Maryland immigration lists are not preserved, as are those of Pennsylvania. He went to the neighborhood of Funkstown, MD. Tradition says that he served in the German Army, in the "Seven Years War" before emigration.
Soon espousing the cause of America, he became a private in Capt. Henry Hardman's Co., MD. Troop, Continental Line. 1775-1783. At the close of the Revolutionary War, he was honorably discharged and returned to Funkstown.
