Note: In the 1814 and Oct 1816 Chortitza Colony Censuses he is listed among the landless in Kronsthal (B. H. Unruh, p. 285).
In the 1835 Chortitza Colony Census he was listed in Kronsthal.
He transferred from Kronsthal to Sparrau, Molotschna Colony in 1836 per Odessa Archives, Fond 6, Inventory 1, File 4127 and per notes added at the end of the census data for Sparrau in the 1835 Molotschna Colony Census.
In the 1850 Census his family was listed at Sparrau #63. Gary Harms' data, and also the Marvin Schmidt submission, indicate that he was born 5 Jun 1779, which is apparently incorrect.
