He apparently joined the Hessian mercenaries in 1776 on the side of Great Britain in the America Revolution.
His unit was the Hesse-Kassel Chasseurs. They arrived in America in 1776 and took part in Howe's invasion of New York City in 1776. They took up garrison duty after the city had been captured, fighting in various small battles in the vicinity. They sailed from New York on 26 Dec 1779 as part of Cornwallis' Southern Campaign, arriving at Edisto Inlet, about 30 miles south of Charlestown, South Carolina, on 11 Feb 1780.HETRINA, an index to the records of the Hessian troops in America, shows four entries for a Tobias Müller, born in Fulda. The index shows him as appearing in the records of the Jäger Korps as a deserter in February 1780 and in June 1780. He is also shown there as sentenced to execution in June 1780 and as returning from captivity in November 1780. Finally, he is shown as having been discharged 'in America' from the Knyphausen Regiment in February 1782.
Examination of the Regimental records themselves corrects the date of his discharge to February 1781. The entry in the regimental records for that month show: 'The former Corporal Tobias Müller born at Fulda, age 30 Y., with 4 1/2 Y. service, has been discharged with the permission of the General Lieutn. von Knyphausen on 18 Feb. 1781. He had deserted in June 1780 to French service, and from there he did come back, which demonstrated some character wherein some trust could be assessed.' On 9 May 1783, a general pardon for all deserters was issued in New York by General Frederick Wilhelm von Lossberg, the commander of all Hessian troops, to all privates and non-commissioned officers who had deserted, on conditiuon that they report to "any of his majesty's troops" before 1 August 1783.
