Johannes Müller
Johannes Müller (son of Johann Gebhardt Müller) and Anna Margaretha Schmidt (daughter of Lipps Schmidt) married in Burgbracht on 25 February 1740. Their children, all baptized in Burgbracht on the following dates, were: Johann Ernst, November 1743; Johann Georg, 15 July 1746; Anna Margaretha, 17 November 1749; Johann Georg, 15 January 1752; Johann Heinrich, April 1754; Johannes, 2 May 1756; and Anna Elisabetha, 12 November 1759.
The family arrived in Russia on 29 August 1766. According to the Transport Lists, Johannes' wife Anna Margaretha died during the journey, as did the younger of the two sons named Georg. At some point before the family arrived in Norka, Johannes married Magdalena Weinberger, the widow of Christoph Weinberger. She is from Mauswinkel.
Johannes Müller, his wife Magdalena, his sons Johann Georg, Heinrich, and Johannes, and Magdalena's son Johann Heinrich Weinberger settled in Norka and are recorded in the 1767 Census of Norka as Households 171 and 171a.
It appears that Johann Georg married Anna Regina Hassenpflug (born Schmidt), the widow of Johann Heinrich Hassenpflug. They are listed as Household No. 149 in the 1775 Norka Census and Household No. 156 in the 1798 Norka Census.
