Discussion & Documentation

Johannes Marquardt married in 1710 in Eckartshausen to Anna Barbara [maiden name not recorded]. The following children of Johannes & Anna Barbara Marquardt were born in Eckartshausen: (1) Johann Nicolaus, born December 1711; (2) Johannes, born 1714; and (3) Anna Maria, born 1716.

(1) Johann Nicolaus Marquardt. Nothing further known.

(2) Johannes Marquardt married first on 25 November 1745 in Eckartshausen to Juliana Maria Greg. They had one son Johann Peter Marquardt who was born 15 August 1747 in Eckartshausen. He died as an infant.

Juliana Maria Marquardt née Greg died 20 August 1747. Johannes Marquardt remarried on 26 May 1750 in Eckartshausen to Anna Catharina Berger.

They had several children whose baptisms are recorded in the parish register of Eckartshausen: (1) Johann Friedrich, baptized 14 March 1751, died 15 April 1751; (2) Johann Michael, baptized 25 June 1752; (3) Johann Jacob, baptized 15 September 1755; and (4) Johannes, baptized 1 July 1759.

Anna Catharina Marquardt née Berger died 31 December 1763 in Eckartshausen. Johannes Marquardt married a third time. The parish register of Büdingen records on 7 May 1766 the marriage of Johannes Marquard [sic], a widower from Eckertshausen [sic], and Anna Maria Stephan, a widow from Eckertshausen [sic].

Johann Marquardt, a farmer, his wife Anna Maria, and children (Johann Michael, age 14; Johann Jakob, age 12; Johann, age 9½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 July 1766 aboard the ship Apollo under the command of Skipper Friedrich Detloff Mörenberg.

Son Michael Marquardt (age 17) settled in the Volga German colony of Norka and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 50 living with the Engelhard Berger. A relationship between the Berger and the Marquardt families is not recorded on the 1767 census, but since Michael's mother was a Berger there is probably some connection.

Michael Marquardt is recorded on the Supplement to the 1775 census of Norka in Household No. 8.

Son Michael is recorded on the 1798 census of Kutter in Household No. Kt19.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that this Marquardt family came from the German district of Isenburg.

(3) Anna Maria Marquardt married Johann Peter Niedenthal. [See Niedenthal Family.]
