Schneider

Johann Heinrich Schneider family, settlers in Grimm:

Johann Heinrich Schneider, son of Georg Schneider from Heimertshausen, and Catharina Hofmann, daughter of Georg Hofmann from Zell, married in Zell on 27 June 1747. Johann Heinrich and Catharina had seven children in Zell: Anna Elisabetha, born 3 May, baptized 5 May 1748; Elisabetha, born 24 April, baptized 26 April 1750 (died 5 November, buried 7 November 1753); Johannes, born 21 September, baptized 24 September 1752; Johann Georg, born 19 June, baptized 21 June 1754; Johann Heinrich, born 3 February, baptized 6 February 1757; Johannes, born 20 October, baptized 22 October 1758 (died 22 November, buried 24 November 1758); Maria Elisabetha, born 6 April, baptized 8 April 1760. Johann Heinrich Schneider died on 27 December 1761 at the age of 45 years and 7 months. His widow Catharina married Johann Heinrich Zulauf, son of Johannes Zulauf, on 10 February 1763. Johann Heinrich Zulauf and Catharina had one child: Anna Catharina, born 26 August, baptized 27 August 1764 (died 31 December 1765, buried 2 January 1766).

The combined Schneider-Zulauf family arrived in Russia on 19 July 1766, along with Johann Heinrich Zulauf's brother Johannes Zulauf and his family.

There appears to be an error in the published translation of the Grimm 1767 Census with repect to these two Zulauf families. Household #49 includes Johann Heinrich Zulauf and his wife Anna Katharina. However, the children reported there are the children of his brother Johannes. The Schneider children are missing from the published translation, as are Johannes Zulauf and his wife. It is clear from later records that both Zulauf brothers survived to settle in Grimm.  

On the 1775 Census, Heinrich Zulauf, his wife Maria Elisabetha, their son Johann Adam, and Heinrich's Schneider step-children Johannes, Heinrich, and Elisabetha are reported in Household #125.

The 1798 Census includes several individuals who are likely descendants of this family. Johannes Schneider is reported in Grimm Household #72. Georg Schneider is reported in Grimm Household #81.

There is another Schneider family in Grimm (the Johann Adam Schneider family) who was not found in the Billertshausen parish records.

Johann Schneider and his wife Anna arrived in Russia on 19 July 1766 on the same ship as other families who settled in Grimm, Müller, and Stephan, including the other two Schneider families from Zell.
