Johann Heil, a farmer, his wife Anna, and children (Kunigunda, age 9; Johann, age 6; Maria, age 4; Nikolaus, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard an English barque named George under the command of Skipper Adam Bairnsfair.
Johannes Heyl [sic], his wife Margaretha, and children (Cunigunda, age 9; Johannes, age 6; Anna Maria, age 4; Anna Elisabet, age ½) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that daughters Anna Maria and Anna Elisabet died in route.
Orphan Anna Kunigunda Henn [sic] is recorded on the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou in Household No. 38 along with Daniel Maus. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Heil and Maus families. [See Maus Family.]
Anna Kunigunda is believed to be recorded on the 1798 census of Nieder-Monjou under the name Anna Kunigunda Aut [?] as the wife of Engelbert Betz.
The 1767 census does not record from where Anna Kunigunda came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
