Pfenning
Widow Barbara Pfenning and her children (Johann, age 20; Friedrich, age 16; Johann, age 11; Anna, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Heidemann.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Norka. Son Friedrich Pfenning appears on the 1798 census of Norka in Household No. Nr099.
