Lapp
Johann Christian Lapp was born in Pferdsbach and baptized on 23 October 1712. He married Maria Elisabeth Hard, the daughter of Christoffel Hard, on 23 October 1749. Johann Christian and Maria Elisabeth had six children, all born in Pferdsbach and baptized on the following dates: (1) Johann Peter, 20 December 1750; (2) Anna Catharina, 23 April 1752; (3) Johann Heinrich, 30 December 1753; (4) Johann Wilhelm, 15 August 1756; (5) Anna Elisabeth, 2 April 1758; and (6) Anna Margaretha, 9 December 1764.
The village of Pferdsbach was abandoned in 1847 and no longer exists.
Johann Christian, Maria Elisabeth, and four of their children arrived in Russia on 10 August 1766. The surname is incorrectly recorded as "Loch" on the Kulberg List and this spelling was used in the subsequent 2010 translation.
Johann Christian and the youngest child Anna Margaretha probably died during the journey to the settlement area. Maria Elisabeth married Johannes Henkel. She, along with her three surviving children, are reported on the Norka First Settlers List (1767 Census) in Household No. 23. The First Settlers List incorrectly states that the father of the Lapp children is Heinrich Lapp.
Anna Elisabeth Lapp married Friedrich Pfenning. This couple and their children are reported on the 1798 Norka Census in Household No. 99.
This Lapp family is related to the Lapp's that settled in the colony of Frank.
