Anna Margaretha Rant was born in 1765. She was likely the younger sister of Elisabetha Rant Werner. Their birth place was either in Germany or in one of the earliest colonies settled in Russia, such as Donhof. Neither they nor their parents appear in the 1775 Grimm census. There are no Rants in the Kulberg Reports or The Immigration of German Colonists to Denmark and Their Subsequent Emigration to Russia in the Years 1759-1766. Either the surname is misspelled, their parents arrived in the earliest group of immigrants in 1763, or both.
There is a Rampe family that appears in the Volga German Transport List, but the daughters' names are not a match with Anna Margaretha and Elisabeth. There is an Elisabeth Margaretha Rand in Bauer in 1798, age 24, and it says she is from Grimm, but there was no Rand family in the 1775 or 1798 Grimm census.
She is not specifically listed in the 1834 census, but her husband and children are. She most likely had passed away. Had she survived, she would have been 70 years old.
