Peter Kinzenbach, a stocking weaver (Strumpfwirker), and his wife Elisabeth are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 27 along with a note that they settled in the colony of Biberstein in 1768.
In 1777, Peter Hussenbach [Kinzenbach] and his family left Biberstein. Where they went is not known at this time.
The 176 census records that Peter Kinzenbach came from the German village of Schwelm in the Westfalen region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Kinzenbach family among the Volga German colonies.
