Johann Gottfried Eian (age 28), a tailor (Schneider), his wife Anna Maria (age 19), and daughter Maria Charlotta (age ½) are recorded on the 1776 Katharinenstadt Grundbuch [Land Register] in Household No. 211 along with a note that they are in Saratov.
The 1776 Katharinenstadt Land Register records that Johann Gottfried Eian came from the German town of Dresden, that his wife came from the German village of Grünberg in the region of Hessen-Darmstadt, and that daughter Maria Charlotta had been born in the Volga German colony of Zürich.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
