Sansu, I checked the 1850 IL Census and found 5 WELTER families: Christian, James, Max, Richard and William. Which one are you looking for? None were in Will Co. Christian, James, Richard and William were in Cook Co and Max was in Jo Daviess Co. There is a Christian MILLER is listed on Film 133, Page 41, which is Plainfield, Will Co, IL. This Christian MILLER was a 13 year old born in Ohio and living with Daniel Vandersole, a 24 year old farmer, his wife Margaret, 20, and son Jacob S., 1. Could this be your Christian MUELLER? Hope you find this info useful.
