Peter Essen
Baltic German military personnel
Count Peter Essen (Russian: Пётр Кири́ллович Э́ссен, Pyotr Kirillovich Essen; 11 August 1772 – 23 September 1844) was a Baltic German General of the Infantry[2] in 1819 and a count (1833). He belongs to the bourgeois Essen family from Pärnu (not to be confused with the Baltic German noble Essen family, which had the von prefix in the name). Essen's only daughter, Alexandrine Essen (1816–1868), married count Pontus von Stenbock-Fermor (1806–1866) in 1835, at which point they began using the joint name Essen-Stenbock-Fermor.
