Kilp
Adam Kilp, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a Russian packet-boat named Svyatoi Pavel (St. Paul) under the command of the Lieutenant Fyedor Sornev.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Sewald on 20 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 11.
The 1767 census records that Adam Kilb [sic] came from the German village of Schmitshausen in the region of Zweibrücken.
