In the booklet, Virginia Public Claims, Halifax County, we find the following notes of interest: (p. 3/5)
At a Court of Public Claims Continued and held for Halifax at the Court house thereof on 22 April 1782 ... Jno. F. Miller for 3- 75# beef L 3-15; 1/2 bu Indian Corn meal ls-3;
feeding 3-9 beeves 19s-6 Cont....(p. 41)
At a court of Public Claims held for Halifax County at the Courthouse thereof on Monday 4 March 1782 Pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly entitled An Act for adjusting Claims for property impressed or taken for Public service'...Jno. Frederick Miller 1 Waggon 52 days, 1 horse & driver 16 days L 8-10; 500# beef L 5; 1/2 bu Indian Corn 1s-3; forrage for 50 horses 1 day L 1- 11-3; 50 diets L 3.2.6, 150 # fodder 4s-6.
In the first instance above, we see that during the
Revolutionary War John Frederick furnished beef and corn meal to the Continental Army, as well as, feeding some of its cattle. In the second case, he presented a claim for even more services, which included feeding 50 horses and men, for a day, and furnishing the military with a wagon and driver for the periods specified.
- Halifax County, which extends to the North Carolina border, was a tobacco growing region, as it still is today. It is in the middle of Southaide Virginia, in tke Piedmont
Pleateau of rolling hills leading to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and today it appears that this land, in the southwest corner of the county, is in the area that forms something of a
triangle between secondary state Highways #691 and #659 (the River Road), very near the present community of Paces and possibly nine or so miles southwest of the county seat, also called Halifax. On a larger scale this area is south of U. S. #360 and north of U. S. #58. The tiny town of Turbeville, once called Bloomsburg, is about four miles southeast from where Tobys Creek flows into the Dan River. Danville, in adjacent Pittsylvania County is about 25 miles southwest from this point.

Johann Friedrich Mueller
(John Frederick Miller). First child of Hermann and Anna Margarethe (Haener) Mueller, was born on August 1, 1711 at Freudenberg Germany about eight miles West North West of the City of Siegen. He was christened on August 2nd of that year.
Dr. Joseph William Showalter published an article in the National Geographic (January,1932) in which he established the traditional site of Mayo Fort. He placed its location further north on John Frederick Miller's 370 acre tract on the branches of North Mayo. He did no local investigation of the actual site of Fort Mayo beyond finding that one survey which had the magic word 'Mayo.'.... Showalter did not look at any of Miller's other land, .... He just proclaimed that the fort was somewhere on the 370-acre parcel based on the one survey he found. I don't think he ever established the exact location of Miller's property....[Wahl Letter]
After plotting Miller's survey on the map, the reason for the fort being just across the North Mayo at this locale became obvious. Nathaniel Terry traveled down the 'Great Wagon Road' searching for a location on the South Mayo for the southern most fort. Not finding an obvious site, he backtracked three miles up the road and crossed the North Mayo where there was a large tenant plantation, the improvements owned at that time by
John Frederick Miller, and the property part of the Randolph, Harmer & King survey. The virgin timber had already been cleared, the bottomland planted with corn, and the higher ground planted with orchards. Terry built the fort around the dwelling house and other houses already on the property. For visibility, he had the large orchard around the houses removed, indicating that the fort was not on bottomland. Perhaps due to the location of one of the houses, it was necessary to remove it to build the palisade...
On the plantation property is a 900-foot knoll which has a 270-degree view of the North Mayo, a view of all the surrounding bottomland, and a good view of the Great Wagon Road and its ford across the North Mayo. This is the logical location for Fort Mayo, and it is right across the North Mayo from the branch 'opposite the fort' on Miller's later land entry and survey The property on which Fort Mayo was located is in Henry County off of
Old Well Church Road We need only to find the archeological evidence to pinpoint the exact location!.... [Wahl Research].
In 1733, he was accepted as an apprentice in the Guild of Steelsmiths and Toolmakers, of which, his father was a Master. The region around Freudenberg was well known for its iron workers and miners; a principal reason why many from the area were sought for the Germanna Colony by then Governor, Alexander Spotswood. On July 4, 1737, John Frederick Miller married Anna Maria, daughter of Hans Henrich and Margarethe (Schneider) Arnd. She was a granddaughter of Jacob Arnd of Obersdorf and Hermann and Maria (?)Schneider of Freudenberg. Her parents were married on March 5, 1716 and Anna Maria was born on December 6th of that year, with Anna Maria, wife of Johannes Arnd, of Meiswinkel, as her godmother.
