Commissary Andrew Miller 17xx-1790

Appointed Commissary of Stores and Provisions to the settlement at Botany Bay, he arrived with the First Fleet in 1788 and also acted as secretary to Governor Phillip.

Ill health forced his replacement in 1790 and he was replaced by John Palmer, purser of the Sirius, and he died on the voyage home.

Miller was held in high regard by Phillip, who reported that he `discharged the trust reposed in him with the strictest honour and no profit'.
