Notes:

Balzer movement chart: Christoph Heizenrader and family moved to Kukkus in 1790.

As the first child was born in 1790 or 1791 that could imply that he married in Balzer, shortly before the family movement. Margareta Becker, dau of Weis Becker, b. 1770 would be the only Balzer possibility. As we do not have a 1775 Kukkus census, we do not know if there are any Kukkus possibilities. If he married a Kukkus girl, they would have to have been married very shortly after moving to Kukkus.

Johann married Anna Margareta Becker about 1789. Anna (daughter of David Becker and Anna Maria Steckenmesser) was born in 1770. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Kukkus birth records include the following:
#31, 32. Twins Cath. Magd. [Catharina Magdalena] and Maria Charl. [Charlotta] Beker [Becker], born 13, baptized 20 November 1799.
Parents: Conrad Beker and Catharina Haase from the village Volskoye.
Godparents and witnesses: Joh. Horch, Magd. Beker, Thom. Heizenroeder, M. Charl. Fuchs.

HH 43 in 1798 - these are the parents
HH 42 contains Maria Charlotta Fuchs, a sponsor
HH 30 contains Thomas Hei..., another sponsor, married to Anna Margaretha Becker
HH 31 has a Becker wife named Magdalena that I suspect is another sponsor

These sponsors might suggest that Maria Charlotta (Becker) Fuchs, Anna Margaretha (Becker) Hei..., and Wilhelm Becker were siblings of Johann Conrad Becker. We know from the 1811 Kukkus census HH43 that Konrad and Wilhelm were brothers. Most likely Anna Margaetha was the child of Dvid on the 1767 1st settler list. It is possible that child died and David had another female in 1770 named Anna Margaretha.

HH 24 in Stahl am Tarlyk has a Johannes Horch, but I don't see how he'd be connected. I suspect it must be some other Horch that perhaps had a Becker wife.

Notes:

Farmer from Berghausen, Braunfels, Germany. Son of the widow of Bernhardt Becker.

There are three Becker families on the Kukkus First Settlers List (David, Balthasar and Johann Adam). All three originate from Berghausen, Solms-Braunfels Principality, Hessen, Germany. From information in the Solms-Braunfels Archives we know that David is the son of Bernhardt Becker, but the other Beckers are not mentioned in that document. Birthdates for the three are 1743, 1745 and 1747.

Information from the Ortsfamilienbuch of Werdorf, Braunfels shows that the three above mentioned Kukkus immigrants are indeed all children of Johann Bernhard Becker. Unfortunately, the mothers name is not listed.

Name David Becker of Berghausen appears in Solms-Braunfels Archives as asking to emigrate to Volga Russia in 1766. It is also mentioned that he is the son of Bernhardt Becker. The other two Beckers are not mentioned in those archives. All three Becker families in Kukkus are from Berghausen, the same town in Braunfels. David and Balzer are in the same family group on the transport List. Johann Adam does not appear on the transport list (It is not complete).

Marquadt & Mai #344: David Becker from Berghausen in the area of Gräfenstein & Anna Maria Steckenmeister from Allendorff in the area of Gräfenstein, married 17 May 1766 in Friedburg.

David Becker, ref
Wife: Anna Margreta

1767 Kukkus First Settler List #31
Age 22, ref, farmer from Berghausen, Braunfels
Wife: Katharina Elisabeth 21
Daughter: Anna Margaretha 2 weeks

The wife of David Becker b. 1745-1748 is listed on four different documents as Margaretha (in 1766), Anna Margaretha (in 1767), as Katharina Elisabeth (in 1767) and is Margaretha in 1798 as the widow of David Becker. If the 1767 document was incorrect we could assume that Anna Margaretha was his only wife. Otherwise we would have to assume multiple wives to make sense of this. The church book of Werdorf identifies has wife as Anna Maria Steckenmesser of Allendorf. According to Marquadt & Mai #344: David Becker from Berghausen in the area of Gräfenstein & Anna Maria Steckenmeister from Allendorff in the area of Gräfenstein, married 17 May 1766 in Friedburg. For now we are assuming that Anna Maria and Anna Margaretha are the same person and that the listing of Katharina Elisabeth is a mistake.

To assume otherwise would imply the existence of 4 different wives, 2 named Margaretha, one Katharina Elisabeth and one named Anna Maria.
