Uhl (Warenburg)

Two Uhl families from the German village of Backnang immigrated to Russia. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research.

(1) Georg Friedrich Uhl, a wool weaver (Wollweber), was baptized 15 May 1732 in Backnang, Württemberg. He and Eva Rosina Magdalena Scheid were married 26 April 1757 in Großbottwar, Württemberg. They had four children: (1) Georg Friedrich, baptized 8 June 1758 in Backnang; (2) Christina Clara, baptized 30 September 1759 in Backnang, (3) Eva Rosina Magdalena, baptized 9 October 1762 in Backnang; and (4) Johann Gottlieb, baptized 21 April 1764 in Großbottwar.

Georg Friedrich Uhl, a weaver, his wife Eva Rosina, and children (Georg Friedrich, age 9; Christina Klara, age 7; Eva Rosina, age 4½; Johann Gottlieb, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Nord Stern under the command of Skipper Detlev Belling.

Georg Friedrich's wife died after arriving in Russia, but before departing for the colonies.

Fridrich Uhle [sic] and his children (Georg Fridrich, age 9; Christina, age 7; Eva Rosina, age 4½; Johann Gottlieb, age 3) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Georg Friedrich and his surviving children settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 78 along with Georg Friedrich's new wife.

Father Friedrich's widow, son Gottlieb, and Gottlieb's family are recorded on the 1798 census of Warenburg in Household No. Wr053.

Daughter Christina Uhl is recorded on the 1798 census of Warenburg in Household No. Wr056 along with her husband Reinhard Eisner.

(2) Ernst Gottlieb Uhl was baptized 27 September 1723 in Backnang. He married Maria Catharina Baumeister on 11 April 1747 in Backnang. They had five children according to the Backnang parish records: (1) Johann Georg, baptized 23 June 1750; (2) Catharina Magdalena, baptized 7 September 1752; (3) Christina Margaretha, baptized on 28 June 1758; (4) Christina Margaretha, baptized 12 April 1760; and (5) Christina Friderica, baptized 24 November 1763.

Ernst Gottlieb Uhl, a weaver, his wife Maria Katharina, and daughters (Magdalena, age 16; Christina Margaretha, age 8; Christina Magdalena, age 8) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Nord Stern under the command of Skipper Detlev Belling.

Ernst Gottlieb Uhle [sic], his wife Maria Catrina, and children (Catarina Magdalena, age 17; Christina Margaretha, age 8; Fridricka Christina, age 5) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that both parents died en route.

It is not clear what happened to the surviving daughters of Ernst Gottlieb Uhl.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that both Ernst Gottlieb Uhl and Georg Friedrich Uhl came from the German region of Württemberg. The 1767 census records that Friedrich Uhl came from the German village of Pansenheim in the Württemberg region.
