Bartholomaeus Knodel married Anna Maria Kemling [some documents record Kümmeling], daughter of Georg & Margaretha Kemling. She was born 13 September 1730 in Menzingen.
The baptisms of two children to Bartholomaeus Knodel & Anna Maria Kemling are recorded in the parish register of Menzingen: (1) Johann Jacob, baptized 1 May 1753; and (2) Magdalena, baptized 23 September 1760.
The family immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) arriving in Flensburg on 26 June 1762.
The family is recorded on 20 July 1765 in the Danish colony of "Charlotten Heide": Barthold/Bertold [sic] Knodel (age 41), his wife Anna Maria Kemling (age 35), and children (Maria Charlotta, age 14; Georg Jakob, age 12; Johann Georg, age 8; Elisabetha Barbara, age 6; Maria Dorothea, age 4; Benjamin, age 2). Members of this family continue to be recorded there in December 1766.
Georg Friedrich Braun, a farmer, his [new] wife Anna Maria [née Kemling, widow of Bartholomaeus Knodel], and her children (Johann Jakob [Knodel], age 14; Magdalena [Knodel], age 6) are recorded on the 1767 census of Moor in Household No. 15. [See Knodel Family.]
The Eichhorns record that Barthold/Bertold [sic] Knodel came from the German village of "Menzingen bei Sulzfeld, Herrschaft von Freiherr von Menzinger Ritterlicher Kanton Kraichgau, Schwäbischer Ritterkreis."
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
