Bernhard Eter [sic] & Catharina Bing were married on 9 March 1766 in the Lutheran Church in Büdingen.
Bernhard Eder, a tailor (Schneider), his wife Catharina, and children (johann, age 20; Barbara, age 10) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 18 June 1766 aboard the ship Die Perle under the command of Skipper Thomson.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Leichtling on 14 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 36 along with the orphaned children of Kaspar Staiger. A relationship between the Eder and Staiger families is not recorded on the 1767 census.
The 1767 census records that Bernhard Eder is from Vienna, Austria.
