Johann Heinrich Idt was born about 1729 in Ruppertsburg, southwest of Laubach.

Johann Heinrich Idt, a farmer, his wife Anna, and children (Johann, age 14; Elisabeth, age 12; Anna, age 9; Barbara, age 8; Johannes, age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 29 July 1766 aboard a ship under the command of skipper John Scott.

Johann Heinrich Idt, a farmer, his wife Susanna Elisabeth, and children (Johann Konrad, age 16; Anna Elisabeth, age 14; Anna Elisabeth [again], age 12; Anna Barbara, age 9; Johannes, age 5; Anna Margaretha, age 1) are recorded on the 1767 census of Krasnoyar in Household No. 71.
