Widower Konrad Müller, a farmer, and his daughters (Katharina, age 20; Margaretha, age 16¼; Maria, age 8) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 17 July 1766 aboard a pink named Lev (Lion) under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Fyodorov.
Orphan Margaretha Müller (age 16), daughter of the deceased Konrad Müller, is recorded on the 1767 census of Krasnoyar in Household No. 114 along with the Ludwig Kaiser family.
The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Müller and Kaiser families.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Konrad Müller came from the German region of Darmstadt. The 1767 census does not record from where Margaretha Müller came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Müller family among the Volga German colonies.
