Discussion & Documentation:

Heinrich Schmidt, a mason (Maurer), and his wife Maria are recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits (Household No. 125) appended to the 1767 census of the Volga German colonies.

It is not known in which colony they settled.

The 1767 census records that Heinrich Schmidt came from the German village of Orb, but he has not been located in the Ortsfamilienbuch for Orb.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Schmidt family among the Volga German colonies.
