==Biography==Samuel Miller was born April 6, 1805 on the old homestead of [[Miller-15602|Henry Miller]], his grandfather. He was of an active, hopeful, confident temperament. His maxim thro' life was, "think you conquer and you conquer." His opportunities to acquire an education from books was limited, and confined reading, writing, arithmetic and some geography. From his mother, who sang well, he inherited a talent for music. He qualified himself by instruction in music for one term under a vocal teacher of note who taught in the Valley. Samuel taught the winter singing schools in different parts of the county. When he came of age, he enrolled in the militia and, as he was a good horseman, he joined the cavalry. He served seven years as a trooper of the militia, and received an honorable discharge with considerable knowledge of military tactics. On September 4, 1834, he married [[Wilson-13980 | Janetta Wilson]]. She was born October 25, 1810, the daughter of James and Deborah (Patterson) Wilson, who bought a farm adjoining the Miller farm in Rockbridge Co. when she was three years of age and Samuel Miller and Janetta Wilson were schoolmates. Samuel purchased some land, intending to make his home in Indiana, where his three brothers had moved; however, his sisters persuaded him to remain in Virginia and care for their ailing parents. He purchased the interest of the other heirs to the farm and greatly improved it. He also bought up land warrants from old soldiers, enough to enter, from the U.S. Gov't., 1,000 acres of land in Missouri in 1852, and 320 acres in Iowa in 1854. In 1855, after his parents had died, he sold the old homestead and, in September 1855, with his wife, five sons, three daughters and three other families, started the journey to carry our his long-cherished plans of making his future home in the rapidly growing great West. On March 20, 1856, they completed their journey of about one thousand miles to Memphis, Scotland County, Mo. By May 1, they had constructed a comfortable frame house, had 65 acres of prairie broken, fenced and in crop that spring and fall. In the next four years, six additional 80 acre tracts were fenced with timber rail and in cultivation. Their son James Wilson Miller and his family settled on land and farmed adjacent to their property. In the 1880 U.S. federal census record, he reported his occupation as the "Boss". In 1833, Samuel Miller was converted and united with the High Bridge Pres. church. After his marriage he began having family worship with singing a hymn or psalm, reading the scripture and prayer. This he continued throughout his married life until old age and the death of his wife.
