Jacob Miller and his family arrived in Louisiana in 1769 via a schooner, Britain or Britannia, that sailed from Maryland and ship wrecked in the Texas Bay. The Jacob Miller family were held hostage at LaBahia, a Spanish fort, for several months and eventually released and made their way to Natchitoches, the closest post to Texas.
Jacob and his wife, Anne Marie Theigen, had nine children, Isabelle, Marie Barbe, Catherine, Mary Marie, Jacob, Jr., Frederic, Jean, Mariane and Marie Therese. The descendants of these children settled in southwest Louisiana.
Their are many who believe that Nicholas and Rosalie are the parents of Jacob Miller. This error is the result of translating the Inquest of George Stelly's death. The document was written in French and later translated into English. In this translated document, the author stated that Jacob Miller was the son of Nicholas and Rosalie Miller of Germany. Nicholas Frozard and Rosalie Fienard are the parents of Joseph Frozard, second husband of Marie Barbe Miller, second child of Jacob Miller and Anne Marie Theigen. See below a copy of page where the translated document stated this error.
