Nathan Miller (Rhode Island shipbuilder)

Nathan Miller (March 20, 1743 – May 20, 1790) was an American shipbuilder and merchant from Rhode Island. He was a delegate for Rhode Island to the Confederation Congress in 1788. Although reappointed to the Congress in 1789, he did not attend that year.^[1]

Born in Warren, Rhode Island, Miller attended private school and became a shipbuilder and merchant. He served as a member of the Rhode Island Legislature from 1772 to 1774, and in 1780, 1782, 1783, and 1790.^[1] In 1772, he was also commissioned a brigadier general in the Rhode Island Militia, serving in this capacity until 1778, although having duties "of an administrative nature, rather than as a field general".^[1]

On January 8, 1764, Miller married Rebecca Barton, with whom he had four children. Miller died in Warren at the age of 47.^[1]
