Samuel A. Green pub l894
p.68
The earliest minister of Groton, MA was the Reverend
John Miller who grad. at Gonvil and Caius College,
Cambridge, England in the year l627 and came to this
country in l637. For a short time he lived in Roxbury
MA where he was one of the elders in Eliot's Church
(Rev. John Eliot) From the year l639 to l64l and per-
haps later he was settled in the ministry at Rowley, MA
as assistant to Rev. Ezekiel Rogers; and during this
period he filled the office of town clerk.

He was made a freeman of Massachusetts on May 22, l639.
In the autumn of l64l he was waited on by messengers
from Woburn who desired his services for their church;
but they found "Mr. Roggers loth to part with him."
Johnson, in his "Wonder-Working Providence of Sion's
Saviour, in New England," refers to him both in prose
and verse. The following is a specimen of the poetry:
"With courage bold Miller through seas doth venter,
To toyl it out in the great western wast,
Thy stature low one object high doth center;
Higher than Heaven thy faith on Christ is placed;"
Chap. XI., p.l3l
>From Rowley, Mr. Miller removed to Yarmouth where he was
settled as a preacher, though the date of his removal
to that town is not recorded. Nor is it known exactly
when he came to Groton, but probably at some time during
l662 as in that year the town voted to build a house for
the minister. On March l8,l663 a vote was passed asking
him "to continue still with us for our further edificat-
ion," which shows that he was preaching at that date;
but in three short months his labors ceased and he went
to take his reward. In the lst return of deaths, made
by the town clerk of Groton to the recorder of the
county, it says: -
"Mr. John Miller, minister of Gods holy word died, June
l2th l663."
