Discussion & Documentation: 

Johann Caspar Rüppel [sic] from Wallernhausen married on 26 June 1766 in Büdingen to Anna Elisabeth Appel, daughter of the deceased Heinrich Appel from Unter-Lais [see Appel Family in Yagodnaya Polyana]. Anna Elisabeth had been baptized in August 1730 in Unter-Lais.

Johann Kaspar Ruppel, a farmer from Darmstadt, and his wife Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the galliot Johannes under the command of Skipper Stahl.

Johann Kaspar Ruppel, his wife Elisabeth, and newborn son Johannes are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that son Johannes died in route.

It is not known in which colony they settled.

Anna Elisabeth Appel is recorded again on the 1798 census of Yagodnaya Polyana in Household No. Yp29 as the wife of Heinrich Stang.
