Stengel (Wittmann)
Johann Peter Stengel, a farmer, his wife Maria, and son Johann (age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Franz Nikolaus Schröder.
Johann Peter Stengel, his wife Maria, and son Johann (age 2¼) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that son Johann died en route.
Johann Peter is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 23 along with his new wife Margaretha.
In 1791, widow Katharina Ritter and her sons, Johann & Jakob Stengel, moved from Wittmann to Schönchen.
The 1767 census records that Johann Peter Stengel came from the German village of Weil.
