Stamm (Göbel)
There are two Stamm families that settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 25 May 1767. They had arrived together from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 30 May 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Ivan Perepechin.
(1) Nikolaus Stamm, a farmer, married to Anna Maria Gabel on 23 February 1764 in the Catholic Church in Hessheim.
Nikolaus Stamm, a farmer, and his wife Anna Maria Gabel are recorded on the 1767 census of Göbel in Household No. 2 along with orphan Michael Trinak (age 12). They had arrived in Göbel on 25 May 1767. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Stamm and Trinak families.
(2) Johannes Stamm, a farmer, and his brother Peter (age 16) arrived in Oranienbaum.
During the journey to the Volga German colonies, Johannes married Katharina Hammel, daughter of Johannes & Gertruda Hammel who were from Mainz.
Johannes Stamm, a farmer, his wife Katharina Hammel, and brother Peter (age 16) are recorded on the 1767 census of Göbel in Household No. 43. They had arrived in Göbel on 25 May 1767.
Peter's widow remarried and moved to Husaren along with his children. They are recorded on the 1798 census of Husaren in Household No. Hn04.
The 1767 census records that both of these Stamm families came from the German village of Kellenbach in the Kurmainz region.
