Ensine Miller married twice. His first wife was Narcissa, eldest daughter of Col. Milote Baker, another pioneer to be mentioned later. In conjunction with his father-in-law, Ensine purchased Lot No. 11, which is divided by the river near the Baker Bridge. Colonel Baker kept the easterly half of the lot, and Ensine the westerly. Here, in 1852, on what is now the river road, he built a home which is to-day one of the oldest houses still standing in the village—the one on Bloomingdale Avenue, opposite the Baker Bridge, now locally known as the "Fitz Greene Halleck house." He lived here till 1875, when he sold to C. F. Norton.
