Miller, Steward Alexander

Steward Alexander Miller (1805-1893), a native Virginia, studied law in Crockett with James Carr and joined Col. Jacob Snively's expedition in 1843.

The Snively Expedition was one of a series of forays between Texas and Mexico following Texas becoming an independent nation. This foray formed specifically to address the indignities heaped on previous expeditions such as the Texas Santa Fe and Mier expeditions. During the expedition, Miller received the rank of colonel, which he used until his death.
