Kind
August Kind, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.
Aug. Christoph Kind is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
August Christoph Kind, a single soldier (Unteroffizier), is recorded in an appendix to the 1767 census of Paulskaya in Household No. 1.
He subsequently resettled to the colony of Kind, and it is after him that the colony received its name.
In 1783, August Kind and his family moved from Kind to Paulskaya.
The 1767 census records that August Christoph Kind came from the German village of Ren in the Hannover region.
