Adam Müller, a single carpenter (Zimmermann), arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a ship named Die Zwei Gebrüder (The Two Brothers) under the command of Skipper Nicolaus Peter Pinck.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Susannental on 3 August 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 36.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Adam Müller came from the German region of Würzburg. The 1767 census records that Adam Müller came from the German village of Heidenfeld [?] in the Würzburg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Müller among the Volga German colonies.
