Correspondence from Beverly Mack Zanon, 28 September 2004, passengers #6-9, Muller
Joseph Muller was born about 1827 in Schoenberg, Baden, Germany, and died somewhere in America.
He married Johanna Benz about April 18, 1854 in Gengenbach, Baden, Germany. She was the daughter of Lorenz Benz
and Agatha Kuter. She was born August 25, 1827 in Bottenau, Baden Germany, and died somewhere in
America. Their children were Caroline Muller, born about 1854 and Victoria Muller, born about 1855. They
immigrated together as a family, but their whereabouts upon arriving in America is unknown at this
time. It is believed they found their way to the Ohio Valley where many Baden immigrants settled. It is
known that other members of the Benz family settled there too. BZanon@aol.com
