Biography

Volga German
Margaretha Schott was a Volga German.
Margaretha Schott has German Roots.

She is the daughter of Volga German immigrants. She would have been about 8 at the time she immigrated to Russia and 18 by the time of the 1775 census. Although her name is not listed with her parents in the Grimm census, it's possible that she immigrated with them and was already married and living in another family by 1775. It's also possible she did not survive the journey to Russia.

I need to compare her name to women with identical first and middle names in the 1775 census to see if there may be matches.

Birth Record

Name Catharina Margaretha Schott
Gender Female
Christening Date 12 Oct 1757
Christening Place Cannstatt, Neckar, Wurttenburg
Father's Name Jacob Schott
Mother's Name Anna Margaretha

What is interesting about this birth record is that if it is a match:

  • It proves her mother was named Anna Margaretha, not Anna Maria, as in Anna Maria Spengler, the woman often named as Johann Jakob Schott's first wife. Spengler may have been married to another Johann Jakob Schott who settled in a different Volga colony.
  • It proves that Anna Margaretha was married to Johann Jakob Schott before he immigrated to Russia. She may have passed away, allowing her husband to marry Anna Maria Spengler, with whom he immigrated to Russia.
