Abraham and Agata Warkentin
Warkentin and Draper Family History

16. Abraham WARKENTIN was born in 1792 in Prussia. He died in
1851 in Tiege Russia.
Abraham Warkentin married a Widow Kroeker. The Warkentin family is listed as the owners of Wirtschaft 4 in Tiege
in the 1835 Molotschna census: "Abraham Johann Warkentin, age 44, wife Agata age 25,
children from second wife, Johann Warkentin age 4, Abraham 3, Helena 2. Step-sons
Peter Peter Kroeker, age 36, 1830 to Margenau and Abraham Peter Kroeker, age
29, wife Elizabeth 28 and daughter Helena 2"."
After reading it closely, I have come to the conclusion that Widow Kroeker had
died before 1835 and Abraham had remarried a young woman named Agata, maiden
name at this point is unknown. The young woman Agata would be the mother of Abraham's
known children.
He married to Eva Neufeld after 1813. Eva Neufeld was born in
1773 making her 19 years older than Abraham. She died before 1831. Eva is believed to be the "Widow" Kroeker referred to as Abraham's wife. The census also refers to an Agata age
25, mother of Johann, Abraham, Helena and Jacob.
