Discussion & Documentation

Kaspar Jensen, his wife Anna, and children (Ludwig, age 7; Christoph, age 5¼; Elisabeth, age 3; Johann, age 1¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 21 September 1766 along with Karl Jensen and Maria Jensen who are assumed to be older children of Kaspar. Further research is needed to confirm this relationship.

Casper Jantzen [sic], his wife Anna Sophia, and children (Ludewig Friderich, age 7; Christoph, age 5¼; Elisabeth, age 3; Johann, age 1½) along with Carl Jentzen and Elsa Maria Jentzen are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767. A note records that Christoph and Elisabeth died en route.

Kaspar Jensen, a hunter (Jäger), his wife Sophia, and children (Ludwig, age 10; Christian, age 3) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 40.

Karl Jensen, a hunter (Jäger), and his wife Dorothea are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 41 along with a note indicating that they resettled to the Volga German colony of Cäsarsfeld.

The 1767 census records that Karl Jensen came from the German village of Schwerin in the Mecklenburg region.
