There are 3 Ebel children recorded on the 1767 census of Schönchen. They may be siblings, but further research is needed to confirm this relationship.
(1) Orphan Joseph Ebel (age 15) is recorded there in Household No. 9 along with the Georg Heinrich Schneider family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Ebel and Schneider families.
(2) Johann Heinrich Kuhn, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Anna, his [step-]children (Elisabeth [Ebel], age 16; Johann [Ebel], age [1]9), and sons (Johann, age 8; Heinrich, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Gabriel Wild.
Johannes Ebel (age 19) and his sister Elisabeth (age 17) are recorded on the 1767 census of Schönchen in Household No. 16 along with their stepfather Johann Heinrich Kuhn.
The Kuhn family is from the German village of Momberg, and the Ebel family is presumed to have come from there as well since their mother was married to Johann Heinrich Kuhn before departure to Russia.
The 1767 census does not record from where these Ebel children came.
