Description

Johann Georg Kreutzer, from Zahmen, and Johannetta Catharina Wingefeldt married in Angersbach on 26 July 1752. The baptisms of five children and the deaths of three of those children are recorded in the Angersbach parish records: Anna Catharina, baptized 13 May 1753; Johann Caspar, baptized 8 March 1756 (died 26 March 1756); Anna Margaretha, baptized 31 January 1757 (died 5 February 1757); Andreas, baptized 29 December 1759; and Johann Philipp, baptized 3 May 1764 (died 4 February 1766).

The Kreutzer couple and their two surviving children arrived in Russia on 16 August 1766. The four family members traveled to the Volga German villages in a transport group that included settlers in Hussenbach, Frank and Yagodnaya Polyana.

The Kreutzer family settled in Hussenbach.

Georg Kreutzer, widowed, his son Andreas, and Andreas' wife and children are reported on the 1798 Census of Hussenbach in Household #29. Katharina Kreutzer, her husband Conrad Lais, and their family are reported in Household #66.
