Seibel (Nieder-Monjou)

Johannes Seibel, a carpenter, his wife Anna, and children (Friedrich [age not recorded], Barbara, age 14; Kunigunda, age 9; Friedrich [again, but should be Heinrich], age 8) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.

Johannes Seybel [sic], his wife Elisabet, and children (Joh. Frieder., age 20; Barbara, age 14; Cunigunda, age 9; Heinrich, age 8) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that all of them died en route except for Johann Friedrich and Barbara.

Friedrich Seibel (age 22), a farmer, and his sister Barbara (age 14) are recorded on the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou in Household No. 87 along with two other girls (Elisabeth, age 11; Magdalena, age 8) whose surname is not recorded. They had settled in Nieder-Monjou on 3 August 1767.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johannes Seibel came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that Friedrich Seibel came from the German village of Stahlberg.
