Andrian [sic] Munter (age 37), a single man who "serves in the colony" (Dient in der Kolonie), is recorded on the 1776 Katharinenstadt Grundbuch [Land Register] in Household No. 188.
Both the 1767 census and the 1776 Katharinenstadt Land Register record that Andreas Munter came from the town of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
