Joachim Jungknecht, his wife Anna, and children (Johann Joachim, age 10; Christian Friderich [sic], age 8; Magdalena [sic], age ½) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that the mother Anna and daughter Magdalena died in route. Christoph Lenert is recorded traveling with the Jungknecht family, but his relationship to them is not recorded.
