Biography
Caspar Reitz was a Volga German.
Caspar Reitz was born in 1759-1760 possibly in Hasselborn, Hesse to Johann and Anna Maria Reitz.[1] The family came to the Volga German colonies settling in Bangert colony.
Caspar moved from Bangert to Stahl am Tarlyk colony and is listed with is wife, Anna Barbara Maul of Schilling, in 1798 census records.
He had to have moved to Stahl am Tarlyk before 1794 as none of the Reitz family are listed in birth records in Bangert.[2]
Johann Reitz was baptized in Hasselborn, Nassau-Usingen. This was a family of shephards that traveled from one village to another in the Nassau-Usingen area.
Johann Reitz, a farmer, his wife Anna, and children (Johann, age 13; Anna, age 10; Kasimir, age 6; Johann [again], age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Johann Gottfried Seelender.
Johann Reitz, a farmer, his wife Anna Maria, and children (Johannes, age 13; Elisabeth, age 12; and Kasimir, age 8) are recorded on the 1767 census of Bangert in Household No. 9. They had settled there on 1 July 1767.
Kaspar [sic] Reitz and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of neighboring Stahl am Tarlyk in Household No. St20. This is believed to be the above referenced Kasimir Reitz.
The 1767 census records that Johann Reitz came from the German village of Hasselborn in the Nassau-Usingen region.[3]
