Husband John Charles MUELLER (ID:I21), b. 6 Jan 1847, Ober-Ingelheim, Germany , d. 28 Apr 1894, Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA (Age 47)

Married 29 Mar 1872 Coxsackie, Greene County, New York, USA [1]

There is no information known on J. C. Mueller and Louise Schirmer and their life or years in the State of New York. We have only the family tradition of their marriage in New York, but nothing can be verified nor documented concerning how long, when, or why they were in New York. Other than the fact that Louise Schirmer's sister was living in New York, presumably about the time that Louise came to the U. S., there is no evidence nor documentation of their having been in New York.

According to family tradition, as indicated in the Mueller Chronology by Carl Edward Bock, both came in 1867, when J. C. Mueller was 20 and Louise Schirmer was 18. This appears logical enough, and it would be easy to accept this as a fact, except there is no documentation to back up the date. This also leaves the years between 1867 and 1872 unaccounted for. It is difficult to believe that there would be no record nor evidence of where they were for the five years in advance of their marriage in 1872. Furthermore, if they were in the U.S. in 1870, neither name has been located in the 1870 census.

Immigration	Bef Mar 1872 United States [2]
	Search for passport application for 1905 trip to Germany with Tillie. That should lead to her immigration petitions. Should search for her petition while searching for JC Mueller's. 2013 09 01 - Located the following information at Ancestry: New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 about Louise Schirmer Name: Louise Schirmer Arrival Date: 24 Jun 1871 Birth Date: abt 1849 Age: 22 Gender: Female Place of Origin: S Weimar Port of Departure: Bremen, Germany Destination: United States of America Port of Arrival: New York, New York Ship Name: Main I'm not certain this is the correct person, but the age and departure info are pretty close. 2015 03 07 I think that's probably her. There's a Bertha Müller, age 19, also from South Weimar. That would be a very interesting coincidence. I don't think there's a connection though. I want to get the full manifest for more information, including departure port and date.
