There are three Zechmann families recorded on the 1798 census of Kolb. They are presumed to be siblings, but further research is needed to confirm this relationship.

(1) Johann Zechmann (born about 1756) and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Kolb in Household No. Ko45 along with a note that they are residing in the colony of Basel.

(2) Johanna Zechmann (born about 1763), wife of Nikolaus Kirschbaum, and her family are recorded on the 1798 census of Kolb in Household No. Ko39.

(3) Johann Zechmann (born about 1765) and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Kolb in Household No. Ko43.
