General Notes: Husband - Robert Miles


He and his wife were both Pennsylvanians, and about 1796 the family passed through Warren, Pennsylvania, on their way to Sugar Grove, their future home. Here he performed the duties of an early settler on a tract of land which, had it been a rectangle, would have measured nearly three miles square.

The first permanent settler of Sugar Grove township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, was undoubtedly Robert Miles. He came up the river from Pittsburgh in June, 1797, with his family, in the first keel-boat that found its way to Warren. His farm at first embraced an area of nearly three miles square, though it was not rectangular in form. His dwelling house stood about one and one-half miles directly east of the site of Sugar Grove village.

He and his wife had seven children; Robert was the sixth.
