It is noted that on 25 May 1794, John and Elisabetha Hager of Washington Co, MD, sold land to John Miller, of Washington Co, the land being known as "Volton's Lease". (That was probably John Hager,son of David and Katherine Kerschner Hager.) Barbara and her husband John had already left Washington Co for Franklin Co, PA. Perhaps John Miller was her father.
He was a Revolutionary War Veteran.
