Schneider (Müller-1)
Johann Georg Schneider, a linen weaver (Leinweber) from the area of Darmstadt, & Anna Barbara Schmidt from Fulda were married on 17 July 1766 in Pastor Möllraht's house in Lübeck. The marriage is recorded in the parish register of St. Jacob's Lutheran Church in Lübeck.
Johann [Georg] Schneider, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper John Scott.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Müller on 16 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 11.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Schneider came from the German region of Darmstadt. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Zell.
