— Herrmann and Katharina —

Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "— Herrmann and Katharina —," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."

The widow Katharina (—) Herrmann is said to have been the mother of Nikolaus Herrmann. Nikolaus is listed with his mother living in his household in 1798. Curiously, however, she is listed as being 59 and he is listed as being 47, making her only 12 when Nikolaus was born. While possible, it's very unusual and it seems more likely that there was an error in the record.

— Herrmann and Katharina’s probable child is:

1 Nikolaus Herrmann, born about 1747 in Alzey, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, married 1) Katharina — and 2) Anna Margaretha Walter, settled in Leichtling, Saratov, Russia 14 May 1767, died in 1818.

Wife 1: Katharina —, b. abt. 1748.

Wife 2: Anna Margaretha Walter, b. abt. 1757 in Schlierbach, Hesse, Germany to Heinrich Walter and Julianna —, settled in Göbel, Saratov, Russia 20 Aug 1767.
