Bauer (Kamenka)
Johann Bauer, a farmer, and his wife Maria settled in the Volga German colony of Kamenka on 6 July 1765. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 2 along with the orphan children of Johann Kettler (Johann Gottlieb Kettler, age 17; Sophia Kettler, age 16). The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Bauer and Kettler families.
The 1767 census records that Johann Bauer came from the German village of Pressburg.
