Johann Gottfried Muller was born in Zschopau, Saxony, the illegitimate son of Johanna Christiana Friedericka Muller. Johann was baptized there on the day of his birth as there must have been fear of his early death.
Johann Gottfried Muller married in Beucha, Saxony about 1824 to Johanna Christiana Sander and they immediately moved to nearby Leipzig. Johann is listed as a brewer and innkeeper at the Blau Stern (Blue Star). The hotel was demolished in the bombing of Leipzig in 1945.
The couples' many children were baptized at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig.
The eldest child of the couple, Christiana Friedericka Muller married the portraitist Carl Friederick Julius Heisinger. Family tradition has it that Christiana may have been a model for Julius Heisinger. They spent their married life in Dresden until the 1848 Revolution. Heisinger was not a royalist and with the threat of arrest in September 1849 fled Dresden with his family to settle immediately in Wisconsin.
