Margaretha Reiswig
Conrad Reuswig (Reiswig), son of Andreas Reuswig, was born 4 Mar 1716, and baptized 6 Mar 1716, in Neuenhasslau (Niedermittlau Parish). On 21 April 1740, he married Anna Margaretha Sell, daughter of Michael Sell, in Rothenbergen (Gründau Parish). Anna Margaretha Sell was born in Rothenbergen and baptized 14 Mar 1717. The baptisms of six children were recorded in the Gründau parish records: Catharina, 14 Dec 1742; Michael, 24 Jan 1746; Catharina, 19 Apr 1748, Johann Peter, 3 Feb 1751; Johann Heinrich, 17 May 1756, and Johann Peter, 14 Oct 1760. Conrad and Anna Margaretha arrived in Oranienbaum, Russia on 9 Aug 1766 aboard the "The Elephant" with five children and many other families that would settle in Norka almost one year later. Conrad and one of his sons (Michael) must have died during the trip to the lower Volga, because Anna Margaretha is recorded as a widow on the Norka 1767 census and she is living with only four of her children.
