Biography

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

He was the son of Volga Germans.

Born in 1762, he would have been about three to five years of age when he immigrated to Russia. By 1775 he would have been 13, too young to be out on his own or married. Because he is not listed on the 1775 census, I believe he perished either on the journey to Russia or after his family arrived, at some point prior to 1775. The records kept during those years were not complete in terms of asking about deceased children or wives. If they were no longer living, they were simply not mentioned. Only the deaths of adult males were noted, and sometimes even those were omitted.

Birth Record

  • Name Johann Jacob Schott
  • Gender Male
  • Christening Date 27 Sep 1762
  • Christening Place Cannstatt, Neckar, Wurttenburg [sic]
  • Father's Name Jacob Schott
  • Mother's Name Margaretha

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

  • It proves his 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 the two immigrated to Russia, eliminating the possibly of this Johann Jakob Schott having a first wife named Anna Maria Spengler with whom he immigrated to Russia.
  • It proves that this Johann Jakob Schott, his wife, and his older children were not included in the Kulberg Reports, the Volga German Transportation List, or in Karl Stumpp's immigration book unless their surname was misspelled.
