Biography

Mark Miller was a Quaker jailed at Gloucester Town in 1777 for refusing support for the Revolution and a pledge of loyalty to New Jersey. The Gloucester City Historical Society reports eight weeks in jail. This was religious and political nonconformity involving allegiance, not a verified conviction for refusing a military draft.

Calculated release date for the stay beginning January 21, 1777: March 18, 1777, adding the recorded 56-day equivalent of the reported completed weeks in custody with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.
