There were 9 Protestant parishes founded in the Batschka 1784-1787 (see table below). There were many marriages between people of these villages and you may want to look at them too. Later people from Torschau settled in other neighbor villages and more distant villages (like Betschmen or Schidski Banovci in Syrmia or even Russia).
