Klug (Köhler)
Johannes Klug and his family immigrated to Russia from the German village of Salmünster.
Johann[es] Klug, a weaver, his wife Anna Maria, and son Philipp (age 4) arrived at the port of Oranienbaum from Lübeck on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Perepechin.
Johannes Klug, a farmer, his wife Anna Maria, and son Wilhelm (age 7) are recorded on the 1767 census of Köhler in Household No. 44. They had settled there on 21 August 1767.
In 1818, Joseph Klug and his family relocated from Köhler to Seelmann.
