Gannibal family

The family was ennobled by Empress Elizabeth and produced many accomplished figures, like Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837), poet, novelist, and a maternal great-grandson of Abram through his mother, Nadezhda Ossipovna Gannibal (1775–1836).^[1][2][3][4]

Abram's eldest son, Ivan Gannibal (1735–1801), served as a general-in-chief, naval commander, and was a founder of Kherson. Another one of Abram’s 10 children was Pyotr Abramovich Gannibal (1742–1826), a high-ranking major general of the artillery.^[5][6]
