Beckel (Kutter)
Johann [Georg] Beckel, a farmer, and his wife Anna Maria arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the snow-brig Die Frau Dietrika under the command of Skipper Joachim Friedrich Luhn.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Kutter on 8 July 1767 where Georg is recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 46 along with his new wife Anna Katharina.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann [Georg] Beckel came from the German region of Darmstadt. The 1767 census records that he came from the German region of Hessen.
