Lebsack / Löbsack / Lipsack

Johannes Heinrich Löbsack was born 24 March 1716 in Steinheim (baptized on 27 March 1716 in the Lutheran church of Rodheim), and his wife Eisabetha Katharina Bipp was born 11 Jan 1717 in Steinheim. They have at least three children: (1) Johann Emmanuel; (2) Johann Heinrich; and (3) Anna Elisabeth.

Johann Löbsack, a farmer, his wife Elisabeth, and children (Immanuel, age 24; Anna, age 22; Heinrich, age 20) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Reders.

Johann Henrich Leusack [sic], his wife Elisabeth, and children (Emanuel, age 15; Elisabeth, age 21; Joh. Henrich, age 19) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Son Immanuel Löbsack settled in the Volga German colony of Frank and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 44.

Research on the Löbsack lineage goes back to the mid 1500’s in Germany, starting in Widdersheim and Oberwiddersheim, Germany, then moving to Steinheim, Germany. The lateral lines of Pipp, Becker, Hochstein, Hurtziger, Hoffmann, and Nagel have also been researched.
