Andreas Jung was born 20 July 1698 in Lindenholzhausen and died there on 14 February 1755. He married 21 October 1721 to Maria Katharina Backer. She was born approximately 1697 and died 13 April 1764 in Lindenholzhausen.
They have at least one son: Johannes Wilhelm, born 10 November 1721 in Lindenholzhausen.
This is believed to be the Wilhelm Jung who settled in Leitsinger.
Wilhelm Jung, a farmer, his wife Marianna, and children (Johann, age 19; Philippina, age 18) arrived from Lübeck via Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 27 May 1766 aboard a pinque named Слон (Slon - Elephant in Russian) under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Panov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Leitsinger on 12 May 1767 where they are recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 11.
Following the destruction of Leitsinger, the Wilhelm Jung family resettled in the colony of Neu-Kolonie where they are recorded on the 1798 Census in Households No. Nk04 and Nk25.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Wilhelm Jung came from the German region of Trier. The 1767 census records that Wilhelm Jung came from the German village of Lintenhausen [Lindenholzhausen] in the Kurtrier region.
