According to "Early Years In The United States: New York", there was little information about J. C. Mueller and Louise Schirmer and their life or years in the State of New York other than family legend.

However, once I located J. C. Mueller's immigration information placing him in New Hampshire in 1869 and naturalizing in New York City in 1873, I noted his naturalization paperwork placed him in Coxsackie as a farmer. So while the evidence that we have is circumstantial, it's more likely than not that the family legend is mostly correct.

Age at Marriage John was 25 years and 2 months old; Louisa was 23 years old. (They were married 22 years and 1 month).

Other Personal Events

Immigration	28 Aug 1867 United States [1, 2, 3]
	Family legend has both John Carl and Louisa arriving (separately) in 1867, and being married in 1872. No supporting documentation has ever been found. In September 2009, I located his 1889 passport application that verified his immigration information. He traveled on the Westphalia from Hamburg. In the passport application, John says he immigrated on or about 28 Aug 1867. The Westphalia wasn't launched until 1868. There is a passenger listing on the maiden voyage arriving 28 Sep 1868 for Johann Müller, age 22. I think that's the right person.
