Biography

Anna Margaretha (Rau) Lutz was a Volga German.

Anna Margaretha (Rau) Lutz has German Roots.

Family #12 in the 1767 Grimm census.
Family #94 in the 1775 Grimm census.
Family #4 in the first Appendix of the 1798 Grimm census.

Anna Margaretha Rau was the daughter of Balthasar Rau of Darmstadt, Germany. Her parents immigrated to Russia when she was nine years old. There is a Balzer Rau listed in the Kulberg Reports, and it appears to be a match with her father's name.

"Rau Balzer, Luth., farmer from Darmstadt, doc. No. 2411, wife: Maria, children: Heinrich, 4, Anna, 9, Julianna, 6, Susanna, 1/6." [emphasis added] ^[1]

The family arrived in Russia on 22 July 1766 via the pink Lev. ^[1] No ages are listed for Balzer and his wife Maria. There is no mention of the family in the Volga German Transportation List. ^[2] The one misspelling of the name as Rausch is not a match.

1767 Grimm Census ^[3]

Family # 12

Head of the Household Balthasar Rau, age 35, Lutheran farmer from Darstadt

Wife Maria Rau, age 37

Child #1 Johann Heinrich Rau, age 5

Child #2 Johann Georg Philipp Rau, age 1 week

Child #3 Anna Margaretha Rau, age 12

Child #4 Julianna Rau, age 7

In the 1775 census, she is listed with her husband, David Lutz, as living in her father's household. The census incorrectly labels her husband as Balthasar Rau's brother-in-law, but he is actually his son-in-law. See Balthasar Rau for more details regarding this error.

She is not specifically listed in the 1798 census, but her children are. Her youngest child was born in 1786, so she most likely died between 1786-1792. Her husband's eldest child with his second wife was born in 1793.
