Abraham Miller appeared on the tax list of Pleasant Township in 1806 and 1808.

At the March term of 1807 in Fairfield County, Abraham Miller was a grand juror.

On March 20, 1809 Henry Culp and Abraham Miller were executors of the estate of Christian Miller

In 1820 Abraham Miller was in Pleasant Township, Fairfield County. The household consisted of:

a man between 26 and 44,
a woman between 16 and 25

Mennonites are Christians who reject infant Baptism. In the early 18th century about 2,500 Mennonites fled to Pennsylvania from persecution in the Palatinate. They opposed the Revolution, resisted public education, and did not approve of religious revivalism. They supported separation of church and state, and opposed slavery.
