Johann Jacob Schreiner, son of Johann Friedr. Schreiner & Maria Johanna Stauch, was baptized on 11 May 1766 in St. Peter Lutheran Church in Lübeck.
Friedrich Schreiner, a farmer, his wife [Joh]Anna, and children (Friedrich, age 20; Heinrich, age 16; Konrad, age 10½; Jakob, age ½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 18 June 1766 aboard the ship Die Perle under the command of Skipper Thomson.
Father Friedrich Schreiner died after arrival in Russia. His widow remarried to Johann Friedrich Axt. [See Axt Family.]
Johann Heinrich Schreimann [Schreiner], a butcher (Fleischer), and his brother Johann Conrad (age 11) are recorded there on the 1767 census of Bauer in Household No. 23 along with their mother Maria [Joh]Anna and stepfather, Johann Friedrich Axt. The Schreiners had probably arrived in Bauer on 1 March 1767 along with the second group of colonists who settled in Bauer.
Oldest son Friedrich settled in the Volga German colony of Kolb on 13 May 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 23 along with his [new] wife Maria Magdalena.
