Scheuermann (Huck)
There are 2 Scheuermann families that settled in the Volga German colony of Huck on 17 August 1767. Their relationship to each other is not recorded on the 1767 census.
(1) Johann Peter Scharrmann [sic], a farmer, his wife Katharina, and daughters (Regina, age 16; Anna Margaretha, age 12) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the pink Cargo under the command of Lieutenant Moses Davydov. They are recorded on the 1767 census of Huck in Household No. 72.
The death of Peter Scharmann in 1799 is recorded on the 1811 census of Huck in Household No. 77. He appears to have no surviving male descendants that carry this surname.
(2) Joh. Nicolaus Scharmann [sic] from Ober Klinga & Johanna Maria Delous from Welschdorff were married on 11 April 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen.
Nikolaus Scheuermann, a craftsman (Handwerker), his wife Anna Maria, and his mother-in-law Anna Margaretha (age 57) are recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 73.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Peter Scharrmann [sic] came from the German region of Pfalz. The 1767 census records that both Peter Scheuermann & Nikolaus Scheuermann came from the German region of Kurpfalz.
