John Henry MILLER son of John MILLER and Hannah VAN VELSOR
b. 11 May 1833 (though there is some discrepancy in some sources as to whether it is the 4th or the 11th) Staten Island, Richmond, New York

d. 2 January 1923 Copiague, Suffolk, New York
In her obituary (printed at the end of this post) it states that she fell on a rug and broke her hip and they couldn't set the bone, so she passed away at the age of 92. Her death certificate lists that she had an attack of vertigo. I had been told that she fell...while dancing the can-can. That's about all I know about her personally. I look forward to meeting her on the other side.
According to John Henry's death certificate his father, John MILLER, was born on Staten Island (Richmond county, New York) and his mom, Hannah V. MILLER, was born on Long Island, New York. The 1880 Census supports this as it lists John Henry's birthplace as Long Island, his dad's as New York, and his mom's as Long Island.
1. Caroline A. MILLER (b. April 1854- ) m. Thomas E. CARMAN on 26 October 1872. Her death date might be 22 November 1944 in Babylon, Suffolk, New York. They had 6 sons.
3. Frances Elizabeth MILLER (12 September 1857-1 December 1936) never married.
4. Emma L. MILLER (b. June 1860-31 January 1961) m. Ferdinand L. ALLEN on 29 August 1910. Her death date might be 31 January 1961 Amityville, Suffolk, New York. He had children from a previous marriage, but they did not have any children.
5. Charles Latimer MILLER (26 April 1866-7 April 1931) m. Mildred MINNERLY on 26 June 1887. They had 1 son:
John Henry was in the Engineer Corps in the Civil War--in the Army of the Tennessee under General Morton. It's amazing how many John Millers there were serving from NY in the Engineer Corps, so I haven't been able to find his military file.
They attended the Simpson M. E. Church in Amityville where he was a superintendent of the Sunday School (whatever that means). His daughter Mary Jane married Joshua Purdy JERVIS in her parents home on North Broadway in Amityville by Rev. George Dunbar.

According to John Henry's death certificate his father, John MILLER, was born on Staten Island (Richmond county, New York) and his mom, Hannah V. MILLER, was born on Long Island, New York. The 1880 Census supports this as it lists John Henry's birthplace as Long Island, his dad's as New York, and his mom's as Long Island.
John's death certificate lists his mother's name as Hannah V. MILLER and his sister Adeline also has on her death certificate the names of John MILLER and Hannah MILLER as her parents. I finally found Hannah's maiden name on her daughter Elizabeth Jane MILLER DOTY's death certificate record.
Other info:
They had their first child, Caroline A [Carrie], in 1854 in New York. They then moved to Ohio for a short time, which is where my great-grandmother Mary Jane was born in January 1856. A biographical sketch of Mary's husband, Joshua Purdy JERVIS, says that she was born in Jefferson county, Ohio. Another source says she was born in Springfield, Ohio. Her obituary and her death certificate, however, both say that she was born in Madison, Ohio. Since Mary's grandpa, John MILLER, was living in Madison, Lake, Ohio for the 1860 census, I'm going with that as her birthplace.

The next daughter, Frances Elizabeth, was born in New York in September 1857. Emma L. was born there in June 1860 and, lastly, Charles Latimer was born on the 26th of April, 1866 in Brooklyn. The family first went to Brooklyn and then to Amityville about 1871. In his work, John Henry traveled as far south as Key West, Florida.
So, their family looks like this:

There is an entry in a family Bible that in the section where deaths are recorded, it says:
Jervis, Charles M. Sr. Jan 23/61
Miller, Emma L. " 31/61
We're assuming that Emma L. MILLER is Charles, Sr's aunt, but her married last name was ALLEN, so we aren't sure why it just says MILLER. An oversight? But she was a widow for almost 33 years, so maybe that's why the name might have been forgotten.

Next door to them in the 1850 census is a family I've been researching as I'm wondering if John and Harrison are brothers or cousins.

I've tried to see how she might be related to John Henry, but it doesn't look like she's a sister-in-law as she is the widow of a John J. MILLER. My research has turned up nothing useful at this point.
John H.'s death certificate also lists his occupation as an architect. He died of prostate cancer on the 14th of June 1901 and is buried in Amityville, Suffolk, New York.

John H. Miller, father of Mrs. Joshua P. Jervis [Mary Jane], of Copiague and of Mrs. Thomas E. Carman [Caroline or Carrie], of this village died on Friday last at his home in Brooklyn, after a long and severe illness, aged 68 years. The remains were brought here to Amityville and funeral services were held at the Simpson M.E. Church with the Rev. E. S. Wright officiating. As a young man Mr. Miller learned the carpenters trade and for a number of years was a master mechanic in the light house construction service under General Morton, working along the Atlantic coast as far south as Key West, Fl. He was at the head of the men who built the present Fire Island Light-House, and served under General Morton in the Engineers Corps during the War, in the Army of the Tennessee.

Mrs. S. A. Miller Dies At Age of Ninety-Three
Mrs. Sarah Ann Miller died on Tuesday in her ninety-third year, at her home in Copiague, as a result of injuries sustained when she tripped over a rug in her home on the evening of Dec. 22. The fall broke her hip and on account of her advanced age it was impossible to set the bone. She had been in excellent health up to the time of the accident and she maintained complete control of her faculties until almost the minute of her death.
Mrs. Miller was born at Gravesend, Brooklyn, on April 9, 1830, the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Newman. In December, 1852, she was married to John H. Miller, who before his death was a superintendent of construction of life saving stations. The couple made their home in Copiague for many years. Mrs. Miller was a member of the Simpson church, Amityville, of which her husband had been a superintendent for a number of years.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at the home of Mrs. William W. Smith, a granddaughter of the deceased, Union avenue, Amityville. The Rev. W. H. Wakeham, of the South church, Amityville, officiated and interment was in the family plot in the Amityville cemetery.
Mrs. Miller is survived by four daughters, Miss Francis E. Miller, with whom she lived; Mrs. T. E. Carman, of North Amityville; Mrs. Joshua P. Jervis, formerly of Copiague but now in Florida, and Mrs. F. L. Allen, who is also in Florida; a son, Charles L. Miller, of Portchester, N.
