History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 602. [Scott County] [Georgetown City and Precinct] JOHN C. MILLER, deceased; was born in Scott County, Ky., Feb. 7, 1800. His youth was passed on the farm and in private schools, being the pupil of a man name Laughlin. He chose the profession of law, and became a distinguished practitioner of the Georgetown bar, being often pitted against Governor J. F. Robinson, whose contemporary he was. After some years of successful practice, Mr. Miller retired from its labors and went to Mississippi, where he purchased a tract of over 2,000 acres of cotton lands, which he converted into plantations and owned and worked from 600 to 800 slaves upon it. For many years Mr. Miller and his family passed the winter season in the "Sunny South" and the summer in Georgetown, Ky. He was married Dec. 20, 1821, to Miss Jane Holmes, of Fayette County, who is still living. She was born in Lexington, Ky., in 1802, and was educated in her native city. Her parents moved to Scott County when she was a girl. Mrs. Miller spent eleven winters in Mississippi, performing the journey on the keel and flat boats of a half-century ago, so that at one time she knew every crook and turn of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Their marriage bore the fruit of three sons and two daughters, all deceased except one daughter, Mrs. Warren. Robert H. died of Cholera in 1883; James and John C. died in 1832. Agnes married John F. Warren, of this county. He became a successful planter and died in Mississippi, in 1863, leaving no children. She is still living with her aged mother. Laura Miller, married Thomas P. Johnson, a son of Euclid and Maria (Warren) Johnson. His father, Euclid Johnson is a brother of Major M. C. Johnson, of Lexington, and like his brother, a distinguished lawyer; he died at Little Rock, Arkansas. Thomas P. Johnson was born in Scott County, Ky., in 1829, and finished his education in the Military Institute, and went to California in 1849, and spent some years in the mines, and on his return became a Southern planter. He died at Georgetown, April 12, 1862, leaving four children. There are but two sons living, now residents of Georgetown, Ky. His widow, Laura (Miller) Johnson, was afterward married to Dr. Paul Rankin, of Georgetown, but died in 1868.
