Biographical history
William Muller was a German soldier and tailor who lived in Montreal and Adolphustown. He married Amelia Hall, daughter of Joseph Hall, on 13 February 1814 in Montreal. They had at least one child together. Their relationship deteriorated while Muller away fighting in the War of 1812, with infidelity on Amelia's part, and domestic violence on Muller's. After the war ended, Muller settled in Adolphustown, Upper Canada (close to Kingston), where he worked as a tailor.
