The baptisms of two daughters to Johann Heinrich & Anna Elisabetha Apel [sic] are recorded in the parish register of Waldkappel: (1) Maria Elisabetha, baptized 14 May 1734; and (2) Sophia, baptized 8 February 1739.

Maria Elisabetha Apel married in Waldkappel on 12 August 1756 to Johann Conrad Eichler, son of Johannes Eichler.

Konrad Eichler, a farmer, his wife Maria, and sister-in-law Sophia [Apel] arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Kronstadt under the command of Lieutenant Samuel Gibbs.

Konrad Eichler, a craftsman (Handwerker), and his wife Maria Elisabeth [Appel] are recorded on the 1767 census of Moor in Household No. 66. They had settled in Moor on 1 July 1767.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Appel family among the Volga German colonies.
