Schuck (Schuck)*

Jackob Schuch (age 29), a single hunter (Jäger), is recorded on a list of colonists dated 23 September 1765 who were gathering in the town of Worms.

Jakob Schuck, a farmer, settled in the Volga German colony of Schuck on 18 July 1766. He and his family are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 1 with a note that he was serving as the colony's mayor (Vorsteher). It is after him that the colony took its name.

The 1765 Worms list records that Jackob Schuch came from the German village of Nierstein. The 1767 census records that Jakob Schuck came from the German village of Mannheim in the Kurpfalz region.

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