He is recorded on the 1834 Katharinenstadt Census in Household No. 294 along with a note that he had relocated there from Ober-Monjou in 1818. He is recorded on the 1850 Katharinenstadt Census in Household No. 395. He is recorded on the 1857 Katharinenstadt Census in Household No. 422 along with a note that he died in 1853.
