Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Johannes Otto was born in 1854 in Kukkus, Samara, Russia (son of Johann Friedrich Otto and Maria Margaretha Heizenraeder); died after 1903.

    Other Events:

    • Name: John Otto
    • Reference Number: 16019
    • Residence: 1857, Kukkus, Samara, Russia; HH65

    Notes:

    On the 1857 Kukkus census is listed in the household of his parents Johann Johann Friedrich Otto and Maria Margaretha Heizenraeder and is 3 years old.
    The next Kukkus census is in 1886. He is not living in the household with his widowed mother, nor is found anywhere else on the census. He was either simply missed on the census or he had moved to another village.
    Also in the 1886 census, a comment is added onto the entry of Maria Katherina Wick that she married in 1890. Who or where she married is not noted. The implication is that she married outside of the village.
    In 1904 we have an immigration record for Maria Katharina Wick born in Kukkus, with 4 children born 1894 to 1903 born in Kukkus. Marriage records of the children show that John Otto was the father of those children.
    In short, Johannes Otto was born in 1854 in Kukkus and by 1886 he had perhaps moved out of Kukkus. Considering his age, he had perhaps had a prior marriage before marrying Maria Katharina Wick in about 1890. He was back in Kukkus and they were having children by 1894 and he died by 1904.
