Notes for Alfred V. 'Pat' Miller:

Aged one month for the 1860 census of Goliad. In 1870, resided with his father in Ellis Co. Probably in 1880 with his mother and listed as step-son to Pat Fowler.

An article appeared in the "Galveston Daily News" 1 Aug 1882 "Gatesville Sun; Some of the particulars of a most brutal assassination in Lampasas County have reached us. On Wednesday Pat Miller and two companions were riding home from Lampasas in the night. In a defile several miles from town the party was suddenly fired upon from the brush. Miller was seen to fall, exclaiming that he had been shot. His companions ran away. The sheriff with a posse of citizens and guided by the two men, went to the spot, where Miller was found dead, riddled with buckshot. At last accounts no arrest had been made. Miller lived [in] Coryell near the line of Lampasas. His reputation was bad. Indictments were pending against him in both counties." [A check of the Lampasas District Court showed no indictments against either A.V. or Pat Miller. Supposedly he was charged with stealing a horse from Charley Myers on 15 Mar 1880, filed 18 Nov 1881.]

Another version, provided by Claude Caddell: "A couple of young men from Pitcock had ridden into Lampasas. Late in the afternoon Pat Miller approached them and said that if they were going home that night he would like to ride with them. They did not want to be with him as Pat had a bad reputation, so they told him they weren't going until the next morning. They left later the same day. Pat caught up with them and as they rode along somewhere in a valley near the Lampasas River and Four Mile Hill, Pat was killed with a shotgun blast. The two young men's stor was that they were singing as they rode and the gun was fired by an unseen individual. According to Mr. Caddell there was an inquest held at the sight of the killing. He said Drew Carroll was present. He said Pat was buried in Higgins Cemetery near Bee House."

Peter served in the Co. I 2nd Texas under William A. Spencer. His wife's pension application proved that J.P. was a brother and that Asa R. Miller was their uncle. In that pension appliaction, Savannah insisted that it was Peter's brother J.P. that had deserted.

"Peter got in a fight with a Mexican in Goliad who was attempting to steal his saddle from off an Indian pony. The Mexican was stabbed to death by either Peter or one of his brothers." The last records in Goliad for this family include: Savannah sold horses and cattle in 1871, Savannah sold land (173 acres) in 1873, and a last record with Peter's signature on 27 Dec 1876. Peter may have moved to Belton sooner than Savannah.

Peter ran a bar in Bell Co., but the business did not survive. Around 1880-1883 the Peter, Savannah and two older went to New Mexico. By 1885 Peter died there.

Captain, 2nd Texas Cavalry under Spencer with father and at least one brother (Peter), enlisted 1861 and served nearly four years. A. R. Miller and W. J. Miller were witnesses to the pension application. At least one of the brothers is said to have deserted. His middle name Patten or Patton comes from Bell County Court minutes H (page 220) in which Sarah Ann Miller asked for letters of administration of his estate so that she could file claim with the government for horses and mules stolen from James by Comanche Indians.

'White' Miller was living on Bird Creek in Bell Co. in 1871 and 1872. This area became Birdsdale. Hwas was in the 1880 census of Coryell Co., adjacent to Bell. He was stabbed to death on the streets of Killeen, TX. The Millers came to TX from TN.
