Notes for: Cornelius Abraham Edsen

He was residing in Pietzckendorf, Prussia at the time of his baptism in 1787. He migrated from Neuteicherwald, West Prussia to Russia in 1803 and settled in Fischau, Molotschna Colony in 1804 (P. Rempel, p. 60; B.H. Unruh, p. 310, 338). In the 1808 Molotschna Colony Census he is listed at Fischau #10 (B.H. Unruh, p. 310) and in the 1835 Census he is listed at Fischau #12. His surname is incorrectly given as Ens in the 1803 immigration list found on p. 60 in Peter Rempel's book Mennonite Migration to Russia, 1788-1828.
