Many accounts report Miller ‘ingloriously fled' from combat, never to again show his face in Richmond, Kentucky.

It seems that Gen'l. Geo. Rogers Clark did not let a charge of cowardice keep him from working with Lt. Miller: Miller may have remained in Clark's good graces. Miller (with two other survivors of the battle, Berry and Hancock) is on record as to who lost horses at Estill's Defeat.
