Andreas Loßacker (Lossacker) married Katharina Schreyer. They have 1 known daughter: Anna Maria, born 18 August 1763 in Gelnhausen.

They immigrated to Russia along with Katharina's mother, arriving from Lübeck in Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Mathias under the command of skipper David Wollert.

Andreas and his wife arrived in Hildmann on 20 June 1767, but daughter Anna Maria is not recorded there in Household No. 12. Whereabouts of the mother-in-law, Elisabeth, is unknown.

Andreas is recorded on the 1798 Census of Hildmann in Household No. Hd02, along with his new wife.

The parish register of Hildmann records the death of Andreas Losacker (age 78) on 21 August 1806.
