Phineas Miller was a graduate of Yale University , a man far above the average. He was living at Mulberry Grove when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin and became a partner with Whitney in the manufacture and sale of the gins. Miller agreed to furnish the necessary capital, and on May 27, 1793, the two friends entered into partnership as Miller & Whitney. The cotton Gin was a mechanical success but failed to provide its owners with any considerable revenue.
Phineas Miller was a member of the Georgia Senate from Camden County in 1803 and was named Justice of the Inferior Court of Camden County on August 5, 1803, which position he held until his death on December 7, of the same year.
