Johann Heinrich Moeller was born in Wendthagen, Germany in 1798 to Johann Heinrich Moeller & Phillipine Stolte. He first married Phillipine Dorothea Eleonora Knolle on 14 Oct 1821.

Johann Heinrich Moeller and Phillipine Knolle had 3 children: Phillipine Caroline (1822-1907), Wilhelmina (1823-?) and Sophie Phillipine Eleaonore (1825-1846).

Johann Heinrich and Phillipine divorced about 1825 and he remarried to Sophia Eleanor Meiers in 1826. He and Sophia had 8 children: Caroline Dorothea (1827-1829), Anton Heinrich (1829-1895) Sophie Elise (1831-1832), Ernst Friedrich Wilhelm (1833-?), Frederick Wilhelm (1835-1908), Carl Friedrich (1837-1838), Caroline Augustine (1839-1930), and Fredrich August (1842-?).

Johann Heinrich, Sophia, and their 5 living children emigrated to Texas in 1852, settling in the New Ulm area of Austin Co. His first wife, Phillipine remained in Germany with her 3 daughters although one of them (Philippine Caroline later emigrated to Texas with her husband, Friedrich Stolte and their 5 children).

It has been difficult determining exactly where Johann Heinrich lived or where he died and was buried. His name is very common and his surname has been spelled in many ways including Moeller, Moeler, Moller, Mueller, and Miller and the 1860 and 1870 census records often just contained initials rather than full names.
