Kaspar Jensen, his wife Anna, and children (Ludwig, age 7; Christoph, age 5¼; Elisabeth, age 3; Johann, age 1¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Prinz Carl (Prince Carl) under the command of Skipper Christopher Losser along with Karl Jensen and Elsa Maria Jensen who are assumed to be older children of Kaspar. Further research is needed to confirm this relationship.
Casper Jantzen [sic], his wife Anna Sophia, and children (Ludewig Friderich, age 7; Christoph, age 5¼; Elisabeth, age 3; Johann, age 1½) along with Carl Jentzen and Elsa Maria Jentzen are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767. A note records that Christoph and Elisabeth died en route.
Kaspar Jensen, a hunter (Jäger), his wife Sophia, and children (Ludwig, age 10; Christian, age 3) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 40.
