Kaspar Müller, a farmer, and his wife Anna Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Perepechin.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Köhler on 21 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 51.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Kaspar Müller came from the German region of Fulda.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Müller family among the Volga German colonies.
