Discussion & Documentation

Jakob Hutzheimer [sic], a farmer, his wife Anna Margaretha, and sons (Johann Georg, age 17; Johann Just, age 13) arrived from 8 August 1766 aboard the pink Cargo under the command of Lieutenant Moses Davydov.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Hildmann on 18 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 26.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Jakob Hutzheimer came from the German region of Hessen. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Rheinfeld.
