Elijah Miller (April 11, 1772 – November 13, 1851) was a lawyer and judge in Auburn, New York.
Miller was born on April 11, 1772. He was the son of Josiah Miller (1749–1817). He became a lawyer, and then a Judge in Cayuga County, New York. In 1817, he was a judge in Cattaraugus County, New York.[1] In 1816, he helped found the Auburn State Prison with business partners John H. Beach and James Glover, since Miller was also an investor in local real estate.[2]
William H. Seward, the future U.S. Secretary of State, was a junior partner in Miller's law practice.[3]
