Johann Heinrich Stengeler [sic] & Johanna Susanna Leitweiler were married on 30 April 1766 in Roßlau.
Johann Heinrich Stengler, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Der Engel Rafael under the command of Skipper Ehlert Kongsted.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Urbach on 3 July 1767 where they are recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 30.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Heinrich Stengler was a joiner while the 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker).
The 1767 census records that Johann Heinrich Stengler came from the German village of Uhyst am Taucher in the region of Sachsen (Saxony).
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
