unknown 1798-1819 1819
a stone-cutter, potter, and sculptor who often "modeled" in wax. Among biographical sources there is disagreement about whether his birthplace was Scotland or Germany, and about the original spelling of his last name: Muller, Müller, or Miler. Nothing is known about his family, education, or date of birth. Miller had come to America and settled in Philadelphia by 1798. He carved a profile protrait of George Washington in gypsum that year, and he may be the George Miller, potter, listed in the 1798 Philadelphia city directory. In 1803 Miller made a profile relief of Thomas Jefferson , possibly in wax, of which a cast survives.
