Johann Heinrich Feldbusch, son of Johannes Feldbusch (born 19 January 1699; died 4 December 1751) & Anna Catharine (born 1708; died 19 May 1768), was born in February 1732. He married on 27 March 1759 to Magdalena Luisa Fuchs, daughter of Johann Georg & Anna Helena Fuchs. Their marriage is recorded in the parish register of Londorf.
They had at least the following children, each born in Kesselbach and baptized in neighboring Rüddingshausen: (1) Johann Peter, born 19 January 1760; baptized 21 January 1760; (2) Anna Catharina, born 6 July 1761, baptized 7 July 1761; (3) Maria Dorothea, born 27 February 1763, baptized 28 February 1763; (4) Eva Elisabeth, born 16 January 1765, baptized 17 January 1765; and (5) Anna Margaretha, born 11 December 1765, baptized 13 December 1765.
Johann [Heinrich] Feldbusch, a farmer, his wife Magdalena, children (Peter, age 7; Katharina, age 5; Anna, age ¾), and mother-in-law Helena [Fuchs] arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 July 1766 aboard the pink Lev under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Dyodorov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Krasnoyar on 20 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 113.
In 1797, Nikolaus Feldbusch moved from Krasnoyar to Hummel.
