Senner*
Johann Senner, a farmer, and his wife Margaretha arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766.
Johannes Senner and his wife Margretha are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Leitsinger on 15 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 74.
The 1767 census records that Johann Senner came from the German district of Bamberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
