After the death of his first wife, David married sixteen-year old Magdalena Abigail Maugans, daughter of Conrad and Rebecca Maugans, about 1783 in Pennsylvania. She was born on August 17, 1767, in Wolfsville, Frederick County, Maryland. In 1785 her family had moved to Morrison's Cove, Woodberry Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Between 1784 and 1801, they had eight children: Michael, Catherine, Esther, Elizabeth, Jacob, Nancy, Susannah, and Lydia.
David and his family probably left Morrison's Cove in 1795 or 1796, moving by raft down the Ohio River to join his father in Campbell County, Kentucky. After his father's death in 1799, David moved north into western Ohio, settling in Randolph, Montgomery County, Ohio (near present-day Englewood) by 1800. The move may have been spurred by their opposition to slavery. In 1801, he bought land in Clermont County, Ohio. By 1802, he was a charter member of the Stonelick congregation of the German Baptist Faith in Clermont County, Ohio.
Magdalena died on March 24, 1833 in Randolph, Montgomery County, Ohio, and David died on August 18, 1845, in Montgomery County, Ohio. He is buried on the Old David Miller homestead located on present-day Haber Road, Randolph Township, Montgomery County, Ohio, along with his son Michael and several descendants who make up a family cemetery of twenty graves.
