Stuckart (Yagodnaya Polyana)
[Johann] Peter Stuckart, his wife Anna, and [step-]son Johann [Merkel] (age 17) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Reders.
Peter Stuckard [sic], his wife Maria Dorothea, and stepson Friedrich Merckel [sic] (age 17) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Maria Dorothea evidently died. Johann Peter Stuckart, his [new] wife Anna Maria [widow of Johann Weyl Koch], stepson Johann Friedrich Merkel (age 17), and stepdaughter Anna Maria Koch (age 6) are recorded on the 1767 census of Yagodnaya Polyana in Household No. 34. They had settled in Yagodnaya Polyana on 16 September 1767.
The 1767 census records that the Stuckart family came from the German colony of Bobenhausen near Büdingen.
