Paul Müller, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Katharina, and son Martin (age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 12 May 1766 aboard the galliot Anna Catharina under the command of Skipper Daniel Geier.
Paul Müller and his wife Katharina settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 5 March 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 91.
A note on the 1767 census indicates that in 1768, they moved to the colony of Schaffhausen.
The Kuhlberg list records that this family came from Friedberg, but the 1767 Katharinenstadt Census records them as being from Grünberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Müller family among the Volga German colonies.
