Johann[es] Krämer, his wife Anna Barbara, and daughters (Marianna, age 17½; Margaretha, age 12, Elisabeth, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the Russian galliot Strelna under the command of Lieutenant Sornev.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Kutter on 8 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 4.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann[es] Krämer was a miller from the German Pfalz region. The 1767 census records that he was a farmer from the Kurpfalz region.
