Johann Heinrich and Barbara Elisabeth Brill
"Many familiar Volga German names appear in the parish records of Hellstein, which included the towns of Hellstein, Neuenschmidten, Schlierbach, and Udenhain. Three families that settled in Norka are documented to be from this parish. Among them were Johann Heinrich Brill and his wife Barbara Elisabeth from Neuenschmidten. They were married on 17 Mar 1747. Of their eight children born in Neuenschmidten, five arrived with them in Russia on 9 Aug 1766: Johann Heinrich, b. 29 Jan 1752, Johann Jacob, b. 13 Oct 1754, Anna Margaretha, b. 11 Jan 1757, Conrad, b. 23 Feb 1758, Anna Catharina, b. 24 Apr 1761 and Elisabeth Catharina, b. 16 Dec 1763. Conrad and Anna Catharina must have died during the trip because they are not reported on the First Settler’s List." - Maggie Hein.
