Müller (Seelmann-1)
Johann Michael Müller, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), and his wife Maria Sidonia [sic] arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Die Neue Freiheit von Bremen under the command of Skipper Steingrawer.
Michael Müller and his new wife Maria [Krenzinger] are recorded on the 1767 census of Seelmann in Household No. 66. They had settled there on 15 July 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Johann Michael Müller came from the German village of Ingolstadt.
