From Wikipedia.
When I was writing about William Whistler at the Battle of Maguaga, his commander was James Miller.
April 25, 1776 to July 7, 1851.
First governor of Arkansas Territory. It was his influence which got the Territorial Capital moved from Arkansas Post to Little Rock. During the War of 1812, he commanded units and was brevetted to brigadier general.
Born Peterborough, New Hampshire and was a lawyer in Greenfield, New Hampshire from 1803-1808.
He joined the New Hampshire militia and commanded an artillery unit. His work so impressed General Benjamin Pierce that he recommended him for appointment as a major in the regular U.S. Army.
