Discussion & Documentation:

Johann Si(e)gmund Krauswald(t) & Sophie Henriette Herbst were married on 25 May 1766 Roßlau.

Johann Siegmund Krausewald, a merchant (Kaufmann), and his wife Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 21 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig Mercurius under the command of Skipper Christian Heinrich Abelßen.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Jost on 16 August 1767. Johann Siegmund Krausewald is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 43 along with his new wife Sophia Henrietta.

The 1767 census records that Johann Siegmund Krausewald came from the German town of Dresden in the region of Sachsen (Saxony).

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
