Andreas Jäckel and Catharina Koller

Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Andreas Jäckel and Catharina Koller," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."

Andreas Jäkel was born about 1773, probably in Graf, Samara, Russia, to Friedrich Jäkel and Maria Margaretha Wulff.

Andreas married Catharina Koller (last name also given as Kohlner). Katherina was born about 1776 in Chasselois, Saratov, Russia, almost certainly to Peter Köhler and Elisabeth —. The colony of Chasselois was destroyed by the Kirghiz (nomadic tribesmen who raided the colony) in 1785 and the survivors, including Katherina and her half-siblings Michael and Maria Hein, moved to other colonies.

In 1798, Andreas and Catharina were listed in the household of his father Friedrich in Graf. However, there is a note next to Friedrich that "this family lost its livestock to plague and is currently located in Stahl am Karaman and Schwed where they are herding cattle for the inhabitants there; they have been there since the beginning of this year." It is not entirely clear if Andreas was also hiring out in these other colonies.

Andreas died 1822 in Graf, Samara, Russia.

Andreas and Catharina’s children are:

1	Philipp Jaekel, born about 1800 in Graf, Samara, Russia, married 1) Agnes Billinger and 2) Elisabetha Krenzer 17 Jan 1833 in Graf, Samara, Russia, died 19 Feb 1851 of Graf, Samara, Russia of fever. Wife 1: Agnes Billinger, d. bef. 17 Jan 1833. Wife 2: Elisabetha Krenzer, b. abt. 1801, m. 1) -- Schueler. Child (by Agnes): Margaretha Jaekel (m. Caspar Beier), Phillip Jaekel (d. young), and Maria Anna Jaekel (m. Andreas Braun). Children (by Elisabetha): Johannes Jaekel, Johannes Jaekel (d. young), Elisabetha Jaekel (m. Michael Windholz), Pulcheria Jaekel, Barbara Jaekel (d. young), and Anna Jaekel. Child (mentioned in Philipp's death record but mother uncertain): Katharina Jaekel.
2	Anton Heckel, born about 1803 in Graf, Samara, Russia, died 1824 in Graf, Samara, Russia.
3	Catharina Elisabetha Jaekel, baptized 4 Apr 1806 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia. She could possibly be the Elisabetha Jaeckel who married Gregorius Johannes Knoll. However, another possibility is that Elisabetha (Jaeckel) Knoll was Catharina Elisabetha's half-first cousin, Maria Elisabetha Jaekel.
4	Anna Jaeckel, born 18 March 1808 in Graf, Samara, Russia, baptized 19 Mar 1808.
5	Konrad Heckel, born in about 1810 in Graf, Samara, Russia, died 1818 in Graf, Samara, Russia.
