I looked at the volume of Germans to America and on the ship Devonshire there were Miller, Julie age 22 and Kath Mueller age 18. No others. Took a look at the index and there are an awful lot of Miller, Muller and Mueller. Probably 1/3 to 1/2 named Johannes or some variation of it. I assumed that Joannes Jacobus was called Jacob after a fairly common German custom and looked for Jacob and Mathias traveling together. Ship Jenny Lind arrived NY 20 Apr 1854 had Muller, Math, age 27, M, cptr and Muller, John, age 22, M tlr. Not listed together but on the same manifest. Ship Sam M Fox, arrived NY 15 Dec 1853 had Muller, Mathias, age 45, M, Farmer , WM, and Johann, age 9, M, child wm. Wm is Wurtemburg. Also other family members. Ship Wm Nelson, arrived NY 3 Apr 1854 had Mueller, Johann, age 25, M, farmer and Mathias, age ;5, m, child, both from Baden. Other family members listed. Mathias appears to be the son of Johann. Ship Norma, arrives Ny 4 June 1853 had Mueller, Mathias, age 20, m wvr. appears to have been alone. Good luck in your search.
