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
