Nikolaus Müller and his family (sons: [a] Johann Franz, age 29; Johannes, age 26; [b] Johann Adam, age 22; [c] Johann Christian, age 18; [d] Johann Georg, age 16) are recorded on the 1798 census of Stephan in Household No. Sp24.

[d] Johann Georg Müller is recorded on the 1834 census of Stephan in Household No. 38 along with a note that he relocated to the colony of Balzer. The 1834 census of Balzer (Household No. 167) records that Johann Georg Müller arrived in Balzer from Stephan in 1821. [The marriage of Johann Georg Müller, son of the deceased Nikolaus Müller from Stephan, to Sophia Jackel, widow of Nikolaus Schäfer, is recorded in the parish register of Balzer on 21 April 1818 indicating that he probably moved there in 1818 rather than 1821.]

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Nikolaus Müller came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that Nikolaus Müller came from the German village of Engelrod.
