He migrated from Prussia to the Chortitza Colony, S. Russia in 1789 (P.Rempel, p.37). He appears to have died by 1793 since he is not listed in the 1793 Chortitza Colony Heads of Household List or in later documents. He apparently lived in Einlage, Chortitza Colony, since his widow is said to have given his homestead in Einlage to her son-in-law Cornelius Willms sometime prior to 1802 (B.H.Unruh, p.251). He married _____ _____.
. _____ _____, d.1789-1802. She lived in Einlage, Chortitza Colony, but had died by 1802 and her homestead in Einlage was given to her son-in-law Cornelius Willms sometime prior to 1802 (B.H.Unruh, p.251). She likely died prior to 1795 since she does not appear in the 1795 Chortitza Colony Census and Cornelius Willms is listed in the 1795 Census at Einlage #7 (B.H.Unruh, p.239), which had likely been her previous residence. She married (1)Dietrich "Dirk" Rempel, b.Bef/1744, d. in Prussia. She married (2)Heinrich Loewen.
