The Johann hartmann and Elizabeth Scheuerman Family
Johann Hartmann Scheuermann, b. 1714 m. Elizabeth (Germann), b. 1728 (baptismal dates)
Johann and Elizabeth were married on November 14, 1726 in the small village of Ober-Lais,
Nidda District, in Hesse (German). Johann was the son of Johann Conrad Scheuermann (1687-1745,
“presbyter, assistant judge”) and Catherine Knott, and the grandson of Bastian (Sebastian) Schauermann
(1641?-1695) of Ober-Lais. The Wallernhausen Evangelical Parish records in Lissberg, just south of
Ober-Lais, show a Balthazar Schaurmann, who according to Alan Hergert‟s research, is probably the
grandfather of Bastian. The sequence would be Balthazar Schaurmann>Conrad Schaurman, b.
1621>Bastian Schaurmann, b. 1841>Johann Conrad, b. 1687>Johann Hartmann, b. 1714. Dates of birth
shown below for Johann and Elizabeth Scheuermann‟s eleven children are baptismal dates from the
Wallernhausen (Nidda) Parish records. The family joined the immigrant transport to Russia in nearby
Büdingen in the summer of 1766 and was among the eighty families from the region who established the
Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana the following year. They sailed from Lübeck, Germany to
Oranienbaum near St. Petersburg on September 13, 1766, and likely passed through Moscow en route to
the Volga.
