I represent John Miller. I was a resident of Pensacola during the British period. I was a merchant and magistrate of the town. In 1771, I was elected to represent Mobile in the House of Commons for the provincial General Assembly, and elected to represent Pensacola in 1778. Like many merchants in this time, I frequently entered into partnerships, some of which lasted and some of which did not. Miller & Swanson, however, was a prominent trading house in Pensacola. I was also partners with John McGillivray and Alexander Mackintosh in Pensacola. I made my way back to England at some point. In Adam Chrystie’s 1783 claim to the Crown for losses in the province, he listed me as a reference on Fenchurch Street in London.
