Sutner*
Johann Sutner, a farmer, and his family settled in the Volga German colony of Graf on 10 June 1766. He is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 17 along with his wife Anna Dorothea and children (Peter, age 2; Johann Anton, age ¼).
Christoph Sutner, presumed son of Johann Sutner, and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Graf in Household No. Gf32.
The 1767 census records that Johann Sutner came from the German village of Mannheim in the Kurpfalz.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Sutner family among the Volga German colonies.
