Mohr

​Johannes Mohr from Usenborn (son of Johann Georg Mohr from Pferdsbach) and Catharina Hardt (daughter of Johann Georg Hardt from Wolf) were married in Wolf on 20 February 1766.  Johannes was confirmed in Usenborn in 1755.  Anna Catharina Hart (Hardt) was born 21 February 1743 in Wolf. She is the sister of Adrian Hart, another of the first settlers in Norka.

The couple emigrated to Russia, accompanied by Johannes’ sister Susanna Margaretha Mohr.  Susanna Margaretha was born 24 July and baptized 26 July 1747 in Usenborn.     

Johannes, Anna Catharina, and Susanna Margaretha arrived in Russia on 10 August 1766.  They settled in Norka and are reported there on the 1767 Census in Family #34.
