Johannes Stephan Juncker from Kaulstos & Christina Kuhl, daughter of Johann Friedrich Kuhl from Birstein, were married on 19 April 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen.
Stephan Junker, a farmer, and his wife Christina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the barque named Fortitudo under the command of Skipper John Scott.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Krasnoyar on 20 July 1767. Stephan is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 52 along with his new wife Susanna.
Widow Katharina Juncker is recorded on the 1798 census of Krasnoyar in Household No. Ks046.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Stephan Junker came from the German region of Darmstadt.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Juncker family among the Volga German colonies.
