Notes:

  • Note: In the 1835 Chortitza Colony Census he was listed at Neu Osterwick #24 with the family of his stepfather Johann Neudorf. He apparently moved to Schoenthal, Bergthal Colony with the first settlers of that village about 1837 since he and his family are among a group of Mennonites who expressed a desire to settle in Schoenthal per Odessa Archive, Fond 6, Inventory 1, File 4889.
