Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Nikolaus Herrmann and Anna Margaretha Walter," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."
Nikolaus Herrmann was born about 1747 in Alzey, Rheinland-Pfalz,
Germany and is said to have been the son of widow Katharina
(--) 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.
Nikolaus married first Katharina -- (b. abt. 1748). Nikolaus and
his wife Katharina settled in Leichtling, Saratov, Russia 14 May 1767.
Nikolaus married second Anna Margaretha Walter. Anna Margaretha
was born about 1757 in Schlierbach, Hesse, Germany to Heinrich
Walter and Julianna --. A search for a Margaretha Walter in
the First Settlers List revealed that only the daughter of Heinrich and
Julianna was of the right name and age to be the wife of Nikolaus
Herrmann. The Herrmanns settled in Göbel, Saratov, Russia 20 Aug 1767.
Nikolaus died in 1818.
Nikolaus and Anna Margaretha’s children are:
| 1 | Johann
Georg Herrmann, born about 1779 in Leichtling, Saratov,
Russia, married 1) Maria Francisca Breit and 2) Elisabetha
Schmittlein, died in 1850. Wife 1: Maria Francisca Breit. Wife 2: Elisabetha Schmittlein, b. abt. 1785. |

Herrmann, born about 1783 in Leichtling, Saratov,
Russia, married Johannes Müller 7 Feb 1805 in Leichtling,
Saratov, Russia, died sometime between 1850 and 1857. Husband: Johannes Müller, b. abt. 1782 in Leichtling, Saratov, Russia to Johann Georg Müller and Katharina Stenger, d. 1852. |
| 4 | Katharina Herrmann,
