Sachse (Katharinenstadt-1)*
Johann Heinrich Sachse & Charlotte Sophie Wilhelmine Knittel were married on 22 September 1765 in Roßlau.
Heinirch Sachse, a gardner (Gärtner), and his wife Sophia settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 27 August 1766. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 233.
The 1767 census records that Heinrich Sachse came from the German village of Meltendorf.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
