Discussion & Documentation: 

There are two single Suppes men who arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the galliot Johannes under the command of Skipper Stahl. Joh. Conrad & Joh. Georg Supes [sic] are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767. They both settled in Hussenbach. Their relationship to each other is not recorded in any of these documents, although they travelled together during the entire journey to Russia.

(1) Konrad Suppes, a farmer, is recorded on the 1798 census of Hussenbach in Household No. Hs022.

Konrad Suppes and his family are recorded on the 1811 census of Hussenbach in Household No. 22 along with a note that Konrad had died there in 1799.

(2) Johann Georg Suppes, a farmer, and his two sons are recorded on the 1798 census of Walter in Household No. Wt036. The death of Georg Suppes in 1804 is recorded on the 1811 census of Walter in Household No. 36.

Johann Heinrich Suppes, son of this Johann Georg Suppes, is recorded on the 1811 census of Walter in Household No. 36 along with a note that he relocated to the colony of Hussenbach in 1803.

[Johann] Heinrich Suppes from Walter is recorded on the 1811 census of Hussenbach (along with his son Jakob, age 1½) and a note that he had arrived in Hussenbach from Walter in 1805.

Heinrich Suppes must have died before 1816 and his widow remarried to Christoph Heinze because Jakob Suppes and his brother Adam are recorded as stepchildren of Christoph Heinze on the 1834 census of Hussenbach in Household No. 112.

This Adam Suppes moved from Hussenbach to Dobrinka in 1835 and is recorded there with his family on the 1850 census of Dobrinka in Household No. 201.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that they both came from the German region of Riedesel.
