Miller family in Wexford

[Scollagh]

I've come across a couple of Miller marriages to Rynhart and variations. It's quite likely that these Millers were Palatine settlers from early 1700's - an Ann Miller (Muller) and prob a John Muller came over - Ann Miller was recorded on Abel Ram's lands at Old Ross in 1720. See Henry Jones book - Palatine Families of Ireland. Many Palatines seemed to move on after a period, sometimes a few generations, though some stayed. Trust this helps

You're welcome. I'm trying to sort out the various Rynhart families of Wexford at present, so came across them. I can't be certain yet where this Sarah's parents lived but I suspect it was Clonhasten, just outside Enniscorthy. What I thought curious about the shipping record for this couple is that Jacob Miller's parents were stated also to be living in Enniscorthy, so must have moved north from Old Ross.
What I know of the other Miller/ Rynhart marriages (assuming same Miller families) is that the Rynharts seemed to move south from Ferns- Enniscorthy area to the Ross district e.g. Stephen Rynhart who married a Mary Miller and settled at Listerlin etc.

Perhaps you can help me? What happened to this Sarah R & Jacob Miller in Australia? Did they settle and have children etc., any surviving generations? thx

Thanks Sistera, I'll add them to Rynhart records and let you know when we figure out just how her parents relate to the earlier Rynharts. I think it's almost certain these were Palatine families - even though they arrived in Ireland in 1709/10, they seemed to have a hunger to move on. Of course there was lots of emigration from Ireland during the 1800s which also encouraged the desire to get to 'the promised land'. That's a fine headstone

 :)Thats ok glad to help out, the writing on the birth cert is a bit hard to read the old writing,Jacob's occupation was an Oversee not grazier. Any chance of you finding a [henry miller] jacobs father in your travells for the Rynharts it would be much appreciated.cheers

Thanks, I will keep an eye on the Millers of that period. I thought it said Grazier, but I haven't checked, on Jacob's shipping form. I presume another word of the time for a farm labourer? What's an Oversee - steward or manager of some sort?
