Miller was born in Danville, Kentucky, and educated at its Centre College. He was admitted to the bar in 1834 and moved to Boonville, Missouri the following year. In 1840 he was a member of the State House of Representatives. Miller belonged to the Whigs for most of his political career, but with the gradual dissolution of that party in the mid-1850s he ran for his third Congressional term as an Opposition Party candidate.
