Lüttig*
Johannes Stephan Lüttig, son of Georg Michael & Apollonia Lüttig, was baptized on 27 December 1742 in Weitersweiler, Kurpfalz (today in Kreis Kirchheimbolanden in Bavaria). He married there on 16 January 1764 to Anna Agnes Glas, daughter of Jordan Glas. She died in January 1765 and was buried in Weitersweiler on 11 January 1765 before they had been married for even a year.
Stephen Lüttig, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and son Johannes (age ¼) are recorded on the 1767 census of Volmer in Household No. 21. They had arrived in Volmer on 18 July 1767.
The widow and daughters of Johann Lüttig are recorded on the 1798 census of Volmer in Household No. 21.
The 1767 census records that Stephan Lüttig came from the German village of Kirchheim in the Kurpfalz region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Lüttig family among the Volga German colonies.
