Discussion & Documentation

Johannes Jung Senior (age 51), a day laborer (Tagelöhner), his wife Margaretha (age 52), and children (Johannes Junior, age not recorded; Elisabeth, age 25; Solomon, age 20) migrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) arriving in Flensburg on 12 June 1762.

[a] Johannes Jung Junior, his wife Christina (age 32), and children (Jakob, age 14; Katharina, age 12; Barbara, age 7; Johannes, age 5; Jakobina, age 2) arrived in Denmark. They eventually settled in the Danish colony of Neuberend.

[b] Elisabeth Jung married in 1764 to Jacob Heydecker. They eventually settled in the Danish colony of Neuberend, and Johannes Jung Senior is recorded living with them in October 1764.

[c] The marriage of Salomon Jung from Eutingen to Anna [sic] Elisabeth Meier, widow of Jakob Meier, is recorded in the parish register of Großsolt [Schleswig-Flensburg] on 1 March 1763. Jakob Meier had died in Altona in route to Denmark. [See Meier Family.]

They and the Meier stepchildren (Margaretha Barbara, age 12; Margaretha, age 10; Georg Jakob, age 5; Georg, age 2½) eventually settled in the Danish colony of Neubörm.

In 1765, Solomon Jung and his family joined the migration to Russia.

Samson [sic] Jung, a farmer, his wife Maria Elisabeth, son Johannes (age 4), and stepchildren (Margaretha [Meier], age 14; Georg Jakob [Meier], age 11) are recorded on the 1767 census of Holstein in Household No. 25. They had arrived in Holstein on 2 May 1766.

The Eichhorn research records that Solomon Jung was the son of Johannes Jung Senior who was from Eutingen in the Markgrafschaft of Baden-Durlach. The 1767 census records that Solomon Jung came from the village of Eutin[gen].
