There are two Mohr families recorded in the Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research.
(1) Johann Konrad Mohr, a farmer, and his wife Agnetta Christina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Frau Diederika (Lady Diederika) under the command of Skipper Johann Joachim Lunau.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana on 16 September 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 61.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Konrad Mohr came from the German region of Stolberg. The 1767 census records that they came from the German village of Münzenberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Mohr family among the Volga German colonies.
(2) Widow Elisabeth Mohr and her children (Katharina, age 12; Anna, age 8; Johann, age 6) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 20 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Catharina Eleonora under the command of Skipper Peter Rehder.
Widow Anna Elisabeth Mor [sic] and her children (Cathrina, age 14; Anna Maria, age 10; Johann Conradt, age 6) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Widow Mohr remarried to widower Andreas Pfaffenroth with whom she was traveling from St. Petersburg to Saratov. Andreas Pfaffenroth, his wife Anna Elisabeth, and children (Katharina [Mohr], age 13; Anna Maria [Mohr], age 11; Johann Konrad [Mohr], age 8) are recorded on the 1767 census of Yagodnaya Polyana in Household No. 41.
The widow and children of [Johann] Konrad Mohr are recorded on the 1798 census of Yagodnaya Polyana in Household No. Yp84.
