About Johann Abraham Müller
He apparently was part of the Faulkner Swamp church, according to Find A Grave's page on his son, Johann Joseph Miller:

From Ist dieses nicht das gelobte Land? (Is this not the promised Land?) An abbreviated history of Falkner Swamp, America’s Oldest German Reformed Church
http://www.falknerswamp.org/FILES/CHURCH%20HISTORY.PDF
“Is this not the promised Land?” Oral tradition relates that these words were spoken by the Reverend John Philip Leydich to his wife as they traveled over a very stony road to their new home and charge to succeed Falkner Swamp’s founding and ailing pastor, John Philip Boehm.
On October 15, 1725, John Philip Boehm, the father of the German Reformed Church in America, served the Sacrament of Holy Communion to 40 people for the first time at “Falckner’s Schwamm.”
During the earliest times the Falkner Swamp congregation had no formal worship center. The people gathered in each other’s homes and barns, or weather permitting, in a field. Before the end of the Rev. John Philip Boehm’s pastorate, however, a permanent structure was erected.
Little is known about that original wooden frame building. It seems to have been built during the 1740's and replaced only in 1790 when the present brick building was constructed near the site of the frame church. It was the first wooden building which served as a hospital during the Battle of Pottsgrove (Revolutionary War). The parsonage, incidentally, was used by General Anthony Wayne as headquarters during that same battle. We know that several soldiers who died while being treated in the church were buried in the church cemetery, but time has erased all signs of their graves.
Boehm, a school master, was employed by the congregation as a lay reader in 1720. The congregations at “Schipbach” (Skippack) and “Weitmarsch” (Whitemarsh) also engaged him in 1720 and joined Falkner Swamp in calling him as pastor in 1725. He founded and served several other churches in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
