Notes:

From cvgs/origins website:
Johann Michael Johann was born on 28 February 1739 in Ober-Schönmattenweg (east of Weinheim), today in Baden-Württemberg. He immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) and settled in the colony of Veltenhof. He married on 26 May 1760 in the colony of Fredericia (Denmark) to Eva Margaretha Sattler. She was born in about 1736 in Affolterbach.
They immigrated to Russia in 1763, and arrived in the colony of Anton on 7 September 1764. They and their children are recorded on the 1767census of Anton where Michael is serving as the Vorsteher (mayor) in Household No. 1.

From http://www.russia-colonists.eu/wandere.htm by Gerhard Lang
MIGRATION OF COLONISTS FROM GERMANY IN 1761 TO SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN AND LATER TO THE VOLGA IN 1763.
In 1761, the Danish king (Duke of Schleswig-Holstein) recruited people from souther Germany to settle in Schleswig-Holstein, to drain the bogs and swamps and make the land productive. Many Germans answered the appeal. Later the worsening economic situation and resentment by local domestic workmen caused some colonists to break their contract with the king and desert. As the number of desertions increased, provision was made for colonists to apply for permission to leave.
At the same time, czarina Katharina the Great issued the manifesto that encouraged people to come to Russia. Among the inducements was provision for advance payment of colonist costs for the journey. There was a resident recruiter of colonists in Kiel.
The colonist records in Schleswig show that many colonists left, some requesting permission to do so while others simply deserted without a trace. Transport lists of those leaving from Travemünde and Lübeck are not to be found.
The Kuhlberg lists do provide listings of colonists arriving in Russia. The Volga village census records are another source. By comparing family names and their names and ages of family members, I come to the conclusion that there is a high probability that many of the families that left Schleswig-Holstein became colonists on the Volga.

Son Johann does not appear in the transport list, he may have died in Oranienbaum, whereas Georg Wilhelm died in transport.

Name Johann Georg Heinrich, from Wehrdorf, Braunfels appears in Solms-Braunfels Archives asking to be allowed to leave for Volga Russia in 1766.

Werdorf churchbook shows Johann Georg Henrich born 31 Jan 1729 to Hans Kaspar Henrich and Anna Christina Zimmerman. It also shows Anna Elisabeth Rupp born 12 Mar 1729 to Johann Philip Rupp and Anna Elisabeth Dietz. However the entries seem to run out in 1732 and there is no marriage or children information for either to tie these two records together.

From AHSGR German Origins Project Web SIte: Werdorf, [Solms-]Braunfels [Principality] is some 5 miles N of Braunfels city, and said by the Kukkus FSL to be home to a Heinrich family. Confirmed, with information provided by Eric Hahn who was hired by Joan Knizek, taken from Werdorf Reformed Lutheran Church records and from Solms-Branunfels Castle civil records in Braunfels, as home to both this Heinrich and his Rupp wife, in Werdorf Reformed Lutheran Church records and in Solms-Branunfels Castle civil records in Braunfels..........Joan has birth dates and parents for this couple as well as birthdates for their children; prior to leaving Germany the family name was normally spelled Henrichs.

Johann married Anna Elisabeth Rupp on 21 Jan 1756 in Werdorf, Braunfels, Hesse, Germany. Anna (daughter of Johann Philip Rupp and Anna Elisabeth Dietz) was born on 12 Mar 1729 in Werdorf, Braunfels, Hesse, Germany. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
