Valentine/Christian Miller live not far from the Hartley's. These Millers are descendants of Johannes Müller who arrived with a group of Dutch Moravians. The group included Hans Debalt Letman.

Years later, 23 DNA matches with descendants from the other children of Thomas Miller. Clearly he is related.
