- Nathaniel Miller, a founder of Brimfield, Mass.
Nathaniel Miller was one of seven children born to Lazarus Miller and Mary Burbank Miller. He was born in Springfield, Mass., Dec. 6, 1693, and at the age of 38 was one of about 100 persons who received grants of land in a new township in Hampden County, which became Brimfield, a picturesque village which is midway between Springfield and Boston. His initial grant, in 1731, was for 120 acres. His land is located two miles up what is now Warren Road from the Highway 20 junction. Warren is a twisty road that goes up what is now Tower Hill. An early map in the Brimfield library spots the site.
Nathaniel was evidently well-regarded and educated as he held important township posts until his death Feb. 2, 1743-44, at the age of 50 or 51. He served as Selectman in the years 1739, 1740 and 1743 and as Assessor for six years.
He married Rebekah Prichet, or Pritchard, Nov. 10, 1716. She was born Dec. 5, 1696 in Suffield, Conn., to William Prichard (born 1656 in Ipswich, Mass., to William Prichard of Wales, England, and Hannah) and Rebecca Taylor). Rebekah and Nathaniel had 11 children
