Hi!
I have info on this family line. They were allknown as Koller in MD. Those who moved to VA and WVA became Cullers.Those who went to Ohio and onwards became Culler.
"Michael bought property near Jefferson, Frederick County, MD after his marriage and raised is familythere. Three of his sons: Michael John and Philip moved to Richmond County, Ohio in 1823 with their famalies and purchased farms still owned by their descedants.
Michael owned a large farm in the Middletown Valley, near the present town of Jefferson. He had threesons who moved to Richland County, OH, about 1823-25, and their descendants still live on the threeproperties purchased at that time. John had two sons who moved to Missouri, then on to Texas, Oklahoma,Nebraska, and California. Jacob took his family, grown children, spouses, grandchildren, etc. to WarrenCounty, OH, about 1815 and they traveled further west from there. We now have descendants of Jacoband Maria Köller living in most of the 50 states, which is a very exciting prospect to consider.
Michael was the oldest known son of Jacob and Maria Magdalena Köller, and owned a large tract of landin the Middletown Valley, near New Town, which later became known as Jefferson. He raised his family onthat property, and many of his descendants are still in the county today. He was listed as an associatorduring the Revolutionary War. However, he had three sons, Jacob, Philip and Michael, who moved toRichland County, Ohio, and the three farms they purchased in 1825 are still under the ownership of theirdescendants today. They are said to have left Maryland because they were strongly opposed to the owningof slaves, which was being done by some of their own family."
Let me know if we share some more info!
