Recruiter Johann Facius records that J. Adam Schneider (age 45), a reformed colonist, came from Hettersroth.
There is a J. Adam Schneider, son of Johann Heinrich & Anna Katharina Schneider, was born in Hettersroth on 10 August 1722 who seems to be the best candidate (according to V. Rau via the Forum of Wolgadeutsche.net).
Johann Adam Schneider, a farmer, his wife Anna Margaretha, and their children (Eva Maria, age 21; Elisabeth, age 16; Johann, age 13; Johann Heinrich, age 11; Anna Christina, age 6; Anna Maria, age 4; Johann Adam, age 1) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 June 1766 aboard the galliot named Die Fortuna under the command of Skipper Peter Stahl.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Beideck and are recorded there on the 1775 census in Household No. 15.
The 1798 census of Stahl am Tarlyk records Johannes Schneider from Beideck in Household No. St39.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Adam Schneider came from the German region of Darmstadt.
