Schu(h)macher (Pobochnaya)*

They settled in the Volga German colony of Pobochnaya on 4 July 1773. They are recorded on a 1773 list of Pobochnaya settlers (No. 9).
Georg Schuhmacher is recorded on the 1798 census of Kolb in Household No. Ko44. It is believed that he is a descendant of this Schuhmacher family.
