The Büdingen marriages report that Johannes Homburg married Julianna Kraft from Storndorf on 15 June 1766. Anna Julianna Kraft (daughter of Johann Heinrich Kraft) was baptized 10 February 1735 in Storndorf.

Johannes Homburg from Gelnhaar [child No. 2 above] married on 15 June 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen to Juliana Krafft from Strondorff.

[The parish register of Storndorf records the baptism there of Anna Julianna Kraft, daughter of Johann Heinrich Kraft, on 10 February 1735.]

Dietrich Hamburg [sic], his wife Maria Katharina, and children (Johann and his wife Julianna; Philipp, age 16; and Elisabeth, age 12] arrived in the port at Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766.

Dietrich and his wife evidently died in route to Walter, because the children arrived there without them on 10 September 1767. The children and Johann's wife Julianna are listed in Walter on the 1767 Census in Household No. 89.

The children of Heinrich Hamburg (b. 1867 in Walter) were born in Frank.

The descendants of this family are recorded in Russian records with the surname of Hamburg as well as Homburg.
