Texas settler and Alamo defender (1795–1836). Miller served as clerk of the Gonzales Town Council, and in 1834 his home served as its meeting place. At the outbreak of the Texas Revolution he was one of the original Old Eighteen, defenders of the Gonzales ‘Come and Take It’ cannon. On March 1, 1836, Miller entered the Alamo as a member of the relief force from Gonzales, furnishing supplies for the company from his general store. He died in the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. Scarce ADS, one page, 8 x 9.5, July 4, 1835. An uncommon tax receipt written and signed by Miller as State Commissioner. In full: “At Gonzales this 4th July 1835 we have been Appointed by the Ayto of Gonzales as Commissioner of the State for Collecting the State Dues for Lands under the 23rd Act of the Law No. 16 of the 24th March 1825, Certify that we have been paid the Sum of Three Dollars & Ninety Cents & 5/6 in full of first Enstallment on Jesse McCoy’s Quarter of a League of land Deeded him by the Commissioner Jose Antonio Navarro.” Signed at the conclusion by Miller, and also signed by B. D. McClure and Adam Zumwalt (an early Ranger who rode with Ben McCulloch). Reverse is docketed “Commissioner Rept for Land $3.90 5/6,” and “Jesse McCoy.” In very good condition, with professional reinforcement on reverse to intersecting folds, a vertical fold through a single letter of all three signatures, mild toning, paper loss to lower left corner, and light show-through from docketing on reverse. The Robert Davis Collection.
