An article by Wilhelm Funk records the following going to Russia:
Anton Horderig, a coachman (Fuhrmann), son of the deceased Hanns Gg. Horderig, a coachman (Fuhrmann) in Mindelheim, & Anna Marg. Schnabel, daughter of Leonh. Schnabel, a ducal court sculptor (Hochfürstl. Hofbildhauer) in Ansbach, both Catholic, were married on 16 April 1766 in the sacristy of the Lutheran Church in Wöhrd.
Anton Hertrich, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Preuss on 16 August 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 95 along with his new wife Anna Maria.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Anton Hetrich came from the German region of Bayreuth. The 1767 census records that Anton Hertrich came from the German village of Horderig bei Mindelheim.
Widower Anton Hettrich, his daughter, and grandchildren are recorded on the 1798 census of Preuss in Household No. Ps66.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
