Located on the farm, on a hill approximately 75 feet south of the railroad on Green Pond Rd., Jonesborough, Tennessee. The field has been graded and no signs of a cemetery are left.

“Peter Miller (Mueller) married about 1773 to Elizabeth Bohun in Frederick (now Carroll) County, Maryland. When Peter Miller reached Washington County is not clear. In 1788, by deed which referred to the parties as farmers of Washington County, he purchased from John McMahan 200 acres of land in the Indian Ridge section. He probably lived on this land until he purchased in 1797 from James Ryan 258 acres of land “on the head spring of Nobb Creek,” which we know to have been his final home. This lay about halfway between the present Johnson City and Jonesboro, and on both sides of the location of the present Southern Railway track and the Johnson City-Jonesboro highway which there run near each other.
Peter Miller died about 1824. He was buried on the farm, on a hill just south of the later constructed rail-road, as were probably other of the family. A faithful slave, Digo the elder, who survived him, was at his own request buried at his feet. With his great-grandson James P. McNeil, I visited the place about 1913. It was in an open space in the edge of a wood. A considerable number of grave-stones were standing, all of rough limestone without inscription. No grave could be identified. Mr. McNeil then stated that soldiers had been buried there during the old war; of which army I do not remember. I visited the place again in 1947. Mr. McNeil had been gathered to his fathers, and I found it with difficulty. One single stone was standing and another was seen lying prone in the thick coating of dead leaves.”
