Friedrich Müller, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Heinrich under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Straub on 12 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No 35.
The 1767 census records that Friedrich Müller came from the German village of Ketternschwalbach in the Nassau-Usingen region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Müller family among the Volga German colonies.
