In April 1861 George Miller enlisted as a private with the Pontotoc Minute Men, which became Company G of the Second Mississippi Regiment. The company was commanded by his father. He fought in the Battle of First Manassas, but according to his letters was sick and arrived too late to participate in the Battle of Seven Pines. On 9 July 1862 he transferred to his father's newly organized regiment, the 42nd Mississippi, when it arrived in Richmond and was appointed Sergeant Major of that Regiment. He was wounded on the first day of Gettysburg, but later fought in the Wilderness (May 6, 1864), Talley's Mills (May 10, 1864), Spottsylvania CH (May 12, 1864), Hanover Junction (May 23, 1864), Bethesda Church (June 2, 1864), Bethesda Church (June3, 1864), Weldon Rail Road (August 18, 1864), Weldon Rail Road (August 19, 1864), was in "proper position" at Fort Bratton (Oct. 1, 1864) and Hatcher's Run (Oct. 27, 1864). He was captured when the Confederate Petersburg defensive lines broke at Hatchers Run on April 2, 1865. He was a prisoner of war at Point Lookout, Maryland and was released on June 29, 1865.
Upon his return home, George and his brother Edwin Miller devoted much of their time to their duties as administrators of their father's estate. George married Kate Wiley of College Hill, the sister of Virginia Gordon, who was married to George's first cousin, James Gordon. That same day, Kate's brother John married Alice Buford. Both weddings took place at the Wiley home, Cedar Hill Farm, in College Hill. After living with Kate's father, Yancy Wiley, for a few years, the couple built a home on an adjacent farm.
According to the biography written by Catherine Thompson (my mother) in Lafayette County Heritage,"The couple belonged to the First Presbyterian Church of Oxford. George did some legal work, mostly concerning his father's many land deals, and farmed about 100 acres. [Unfortunately, because of the debts against the estate and the difficult post-war economy, most of his father's property ultimately was lost and sold for taxes.] When he died 1 Feb. 1897 after a strong and happy marriage, he left widow Kate with ten children ranging in age from nine to twenty-nine. The older children sacrificed to help rear the younger and their heritage was one of wholesome goodness, gentility and honesty. The well-known Mollie Barr cooked and nursed for the family for many years; present day Mollie Barr Road is named in her honor. After over 100 years in the Miller family, the old farm is now the University of Mississippi golf course, with the club house built on the site of the Miller family home."
