Leonhardt Kugel, a single tailor (Schneider), arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Hans Karholm.
Leonhardt Kugel and his wife Susanna [Mauer] are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Leonhard Kugel and his wife Susanna are recorded on the 1767 census of Cäsarsfeld in Household No. 8. They had settled there on 3 August 1767.
The 1767 census records that Leonhardt Kugel came from the German village of Heiligkreuzsteinach.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
