Adam Kuhn, a farmer, and his wife Gertruda arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 13 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Johann Grapp.
Johannes [sic] Kuhn and his wife Gertraut are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Dietel.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Georg Kuhn came from the German region of Zwingenberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Kuhn family among the Volga German colonies.
