Arrive in 1771 to America from Wittember, Germany
Johann Ludwig (Lewis) Miller
The earliest record of the Miller family was Johann Ludwig Miller¹ who came to America from Wttemburg, Germany with his wife Katharine Rothenberger from Heidelberg, Germany to Philadelphia in 1771. They later between 1784 & 1787 moved to the area of York County, Pennsylvania. Ludwig was a teacher in a parochial school of the Lutheran Church. Ludwig and Katherine had ten children: Joseph b. c.1784, Benjamin b. November 11, 1788, John E. b. c. 1790, Lewis b. May 3, 1796, Michael, Elizabeth, David, Philip, Catherine and John³ M Miller
Joseph became a Doctor , as noted in accounts of his younger brother, Lewis, being accompanied by his nephew Rev. Charles A. Miller, son of Dr. Joseph Miller. Lewis became a carpenter by trade as well as very talented and renowned frontier artist.
Sources have Ludwig born in Nuremburg, Germany in 1747.
In previous research I have found that it is not uncommon to give two or more sons the first name of John or Johann in German families with a different middle name.
