Henry Miller
" Henry Miller is first introduced as one of the bravest officers of the Continental Army. He rose to the rank of colonel and was a thorny customer of the enemy when retreating through New Jersey. At numerous battles he was distinguished for cool and undaunted courage. At the battle of Monmouth he had two horses killed under him while leading his men to the charge. He commanded a brigade of militia at Baltimore the last time mother Britain attempted to chastise her truant child. He filled several civil offices and dignified them with old school civility, an article rather on the decline in these modern days of new fangled notions. He died at Carlisle, Pennsylvania on the 5th of April 1824. "
