During the reign of Catherine II in Russia (1762-1796), territory in what was called White Russia was opened up for settlement and given to anyone who would come and settle and till the land. Those who did were to have half of what they raised. More territory obtained by war was opened for settlement during the reigns of Paul I (1796-1801) and Alex I (1801-1825).
Among the settlers in White Russia were the Blakkolb and Mayer families who had come from Germany for this purpose.
Russia, even in those days, did not keep her promise and the settlers became very unhappy. They began hearing about America. Groups begam immigrating to America to live.
Among one such group was the Barbara Ulmer - Solomon Blakkolb family. Barbara Godliva Ulmer, mother of Barbara Ulmer Blakkolb, came with them.
In 1892, the Frederick Mayer family, along with the Frederick Hermann family came to America. Mrs. Mayer and Mrs. Hermann were sisters.
These families are mentioned because they all settled around Sutton, Nebraska, and in later years lived in or around Naper, Boyd County, Nebraska. They became related through the marriage of Jacob Frederick Blakkolb and Katherine Mayer.
