Farmer Justice of the Peace

History of Rutland County, Vermont by H. P Smith and W. S Rann, 1886


"Sudbury was represented in the Dorset convention of July 24, 1776, by John Gage. At this meeting, however, John Hall was chosen moderator. The other officers are not mentioned. Some of the earliest officers of the town were as follows: Shaler Towner, John Gage, Zebina Sanders, fence viewers; John Ricke, William Buck, Jeremiah Stone, Joseph Warner, William Palmer, Timothy Miller, surveyors of highways; John Hale, esq., sealer of weights and measures; at a meeting held on the 2d of May, 1793, Benoni Farrand, Timothy Miller and Joseph Warner were chosen a committee to hire preaching. Farrant at this time was town clerk." pg 813

Timothy Miller was from Massachusetts and settled, in 1771, on the farm now owned by Andrew Steele. He afterwards located at the west end of what is now known as Miller's Bridge, where he built a log house, in which he resided three years. During the Revolution the Indians became so troublesome that he, in common with the then few inhabitants of the town, retreated to some more thickly-settled parts of the country and did not return until after the Revolution. He was justice of the peace for many years; he died in 1825 at the age of seventy-five years." pg 815
