There are two Stamm families that settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 25 May 1767. They had arrived together from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 30 May 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Ivan Perepechin.
(1) Nikolaus Stamm, a farmer, married to Anna Maria Gabel on 23 February 1764 in the Catholic Church in Hessheim.

During the journey to the Volga German colonies, Johannes married Katharina Hammel, daughter of Johannes & Gertruda Hammel who were from Mainz.
