Stieglitz (Hussenbach)
Widower Johann Stieglitz, a gloves maker, and his son Christian arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Johann Hermann Anderson.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Hussenbach where Christian is recorded on the 1798 census in Household No. Hs067.
