Andreas Schuck, his wife Anna Katharina, and sons (Walpert, age 5½; Johann, age 4; Johann [again], age 1½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Franz Nikolaus Schröder.
Andreas Schuch [sic], his wife Anna Catharina, and sons (Walpert, age 5¼; Johann Christoph, age 4; Johann, age 1½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that his wife and all of his sons died in route.
Andreas Schuck, a linen weaver (Leineweber), his [new] wife Dorothea, and [step-]daughter Helena [surname not recorded] (age 10) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 14. It's possible that Dorothea is the widow of Pankratius Kuntz/Kurtz with whom they arrived in Saratov and with whom they traveled from St. Petersburg to Saratov. [See Kuntz Family.]
The 1767 census records that Andreas Schuck came form the German village of Lohrkirchen [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Schuck family among the Volga German colonies.
