Ernst Wilhelm Müller & Anna Maria Eberling were married on 13 March 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen. [See Eberling Family.]
Ernst Müller, a farmer, and his wife Maria arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the barque named Fortitudo under the command of Skipper John Scott.
Ernst Müller, a craftsman (Handwerker), and his wife Anna Maria settled in the Volga German colony of Norka on 15 August 1767 and recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 21.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Ernst Müller came from the German region of Isenburg.
