Origin
Osip Abramovich was the third of four sons of Abram Petrovich Hannibal , the son of an African sovereign prince who came to Russia in childhood, converted to Orthodoxy and pursued a military career. Osip Abramovich’s mother was Christina Regina von Sjöberg (1717-1781), who belonged to the Ostseen nobility .
Biography
In his youth, Osip Abramovich served in naval artillery. Already in 1762 he received the rank of lieutenant, in 1770 he became a major, and in 1772 he retired with the rank of captain of the 2nd rank . Subsequently, he was an assessor of the Pskov Council of Conscience, an adviser to the governorship and the St. Petersburg provincial government.
In 1773, Hannibal married Maria Alekseevna Pushkina. By that time, because of his wastefulness, he had already done a lot of debt, so the couple had to sell the Yaroslavl estate, which was the dowry of the bride. In 1775, their daughter Nadezhda was born. But soon Osip Abramovich left his wife and settled separately in Mikhailovsky. Here he married again - to Ustinya Ermolaevna Tolstoy, declaring his first wife dead. This marriage was also unsuccessful, and since 1784 Osip Abramovich was prosecuted by both of his wives: the first accused him of bigamy, the second - in embezzlement of her funds for a total amount of 27 thousand rubles. In 1784, Hannibal was sentenced to seven years of church repentance, implying a stay in the monastery, but thanks to the request of his brother, this punishment was replaced by naval service in the Black Sea . After resigning, Osip Abramovich settled in Mikhailovsky, which he inherited among several other villages during the division of his father’s inheritance ( 1782 ), where he lived until his death. Here he was landscaped master's house and laid the park.
Descendants
Osip Abramovich had only one daughter - Nadezhda (1775-1836). By court decision, the fourth part of Kobrino’s father’s estate was allocated for its maintenance. Even during the life of her father in 1796, Nadezhda Osipovna married her second cousin Sergei Lvovich Pushkin and gave birth to eight children, of whom three survived to adulthood, including their son Alexander .
