John Dearson Miller (aka John Deerson Meller), Horringheath, nr. BStE, 1749
« on: Monday 07 July 25 18:32 BST (UK) »
Good afternoon fellow Rooters,

I have just located a possible new Suffolk miller (occupation)?  Listed in an insurance policy dated 1749 is a John Dearson Miller, he lived a Horringheath (Horsecroft), and was described as a miller.

I have located a ref to his death in 1767, and a further ref to a John Deerson Miller, and a final reference to a rape case (much later but same parish) to a John Deerson Meller.

However, I have found very little that confirms his occupation.  Can any one help?

Many thanks in advance,
Windy :)

Hi Hepburn,

Interesting.

My man was certainly old enough to take out an insurance policy in 1749, so maybe he is the John Miller (father), and their son was first born and named the same as his father?  The rape case was in the early 1800s and must have been the John Dearson Mill of 1753?

Confused or what!

This is what I was worried about, but I have found a ref in Bury & Suffolk Herald to a John Dearson in Horsecroft, being a miller in September 1831.

The plot thickens.  So we currently have at least 3 dead Dearson Millers in about 30 years?
