Sippel
Valentin Sippel, a weaver, his wife Sophia Margaretha, and children (Johann, age 9; Johann Konrad, age 6; Wilhelmina, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 13 September 1766 aboard the galliot Die Perle under the command of Skipper Thomson.
Valentin Siepel [sic], his wife Sophia Magdalena, and children (Johannes, age 9; Johann Conrad, age 6; Willhelmina, age 3) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that daughter Willhelmina died en route.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Hussenbach. Son Johann is recorded there on the 1798 census in Household No. Hs070. The children of son Konrad are recorded there on the 1798 census in Household No. Hs031.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Valentin Sippel came from the German region of Darmstadt.
