Hering
Paul Hering, a farmer, his wife Anna Maria, and daughters (Anna Margaretha, age 7; Juliana Katharina, age 6; Anna Elisabeth, age 2) settled in the Volga German colony of Kautz on 21 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 18 along with stepdaughters (Maria Elisabeth, age 13; Anna Elisabeth, age 11) [surname not recorded].
This is believed to be the same family that is recorded on the Oranienbaum passenger list as Philipp [sic] Hering, farmer, his wife Maria, and daughters (Maria, age 6; Juliana, age 4; Anna, age 1½) who arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 18 July 1766 aboard a Russian packet-boat named Svyatoi Nikolai (St. Nicholas) under the command of Midshipman Thomas McKenzie.
In 1794, Daniel Hering moved from Dietel [sic] to Bauer.
Daniel Hering from Kautz and his farmily are recorded on the 1798 census of Bauer in Household No. Br35.
The sons of Daniel Hering are recorded on the 1834 census of Bauer in Household No. 67 & 119.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Philipp [sic] Hering came from the German region of the Pfalz. The 1767 census records that Paul Hering came from the German village of Haßloch.
[Some publications have this surname as Gö(h)ring, but Hering appears in the German records of the colony of Bauer.]
