Kinkler / Kindrer*
Just Ludwig Kinkler, a farmer, and his wife Eleonora are recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits appended to the 1767 census in Household No. 88 along with a note that they settled in the colony of Schaffhausen in 1768.
This is believed to be the same Jost Kindrer from Schaffhausen whose widow and daughter are recorded on the 1798 census of Urbach in Household No. Ur10.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Kinkler/Kindrer line among the Volga German colonies.
