Nikolaus Hohmann (age 45), a linenweaver (Leineweber), and his wife Christina are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 61.
It is not known in which colony they settled.
The 1767 census records that Nikolaus Hohmann came from the German village of Unterweld [Unterweid?].
There are many Hohmann families in Unterweid. One is a Nicolaus Hohmann, son of Georg Hohmann & Catharina Hohmann, who was born and baptized on 29 Otober 1721 in Unterweid. His line does not appear to continue there, but further research is needed to confirm that this is indeed the Nikolaus Hohmann who later immigrated to the Volga German colonies.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hohmann family among the Volga German colonies.
