During the years of 1500 there lived in Oostvriesland, a noble family by the name of "von Statius" who through a very severe flood, which totally destroyed the castle of "Dorp" and resulted into many people and cattle drowning, were almost completely wiped off this earth, were it not that the Allmighty God saved the life of the smallest child which was found floating in a wooden crib by a miller who seeing that the child had lost its parents brought it up in the world as his own child. When this child grew into manhood, he in gratitude to his benefactor assumed the name of Muller. Of his issues there were known Andrea Statius Muller of Oostvriesland, and later on a ... Statius Muller also of Oostvriesland. Of this latter one there was an issue about the year of 1640 by the name of Andreas Muller, who was Lutherean teacher in Essen.

Andreas Frederik, at first doctor in medicine at Oostvreisland and later on in London. His daughter was married to Dr. Loos who already had a Son. He was a doctor of medicines in Wildervangst near Groningen. The youngest was Christoph Anton Muller. The following is copied from several handwritten pages. It is a letter from Carlos Antonio Statius Muller, son of Albert Willem Statius Muller, Sr, to Albert Willem Statius Muller, Jr. It includes a drawing of a tree that is almost illegible in the copy and does not likely have any new information. There are [] around any uncertain word. Family History Accepted by some as authentic, where as others do not. During the fourteenth century there lived in a town named [Eseris], located in the provence of Fressland (Netherlands) near the North Sea, a well to do family by the name of Statius. About there year 1500 this family with the exception of a baby boy, perished during a severe flood. The baby was rescued by a miller, and after having been brought up and educated by the miller, he in gratitude added to his name Muller which is the Dutch version of miller. His family from then on was known as Statius Muller, although various members retained only Muller. Of the Statius Mullers there are no authentic records until a member of the family, namely August Lebergt, born November 14, 1743, started to keep records of his family by mentioning the above history in his notebooks and continued to state that the first member of whom he had details was a [] Statius Muller who owned considerable landed property in Freesland. This Statius Muller had a son named Andreas born about the year 1645. The drawing shows the direct lines of two branches of Statius Mullers up to the present time. The first branch drawn entirely in black is of Johan George, who was the first one of the family to arrive in Curacao (1757). He was a Luthern Minister. The second branch drawn partly in green is of August Lebergt who started the family record as mentioned before. He was a medical doctor, and was the second Statius Muller to arrive in Curacao (1763). The green tracings on the drawing indicate the direct blood lines of me as well as my male issues. Space does not permit including all names mentioned in the records, and therefore only those of importance are shown. In order to identify the others it will be necessary to refer to accompanying numbered list. There are also on the drawing certain flagging letters ABC etc. These indicate intermarriages and other [] occurrences as shown on the accompanying list. I have also drawn up a chart indicating the direct blood lines of our forefathers. This chart is perhaps more complete, as it includes in detail the names of the parents of the female members married into the family; Also for a few generations back the the details of the family on my mothers side as well as of my dear wife Maria Luisa, and those of your wife.
