Discussion & Documentation

David Spengeler, a farmer, his wife Rosina, and son Christian (age ½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pinkom.

Joh. Spengeler, his wife Johanna, and son Christian (age 1½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Boisroux on 3 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 71.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that David Spengler came from the German district of Dessau.
