Adam Philipp, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 18 June 1766 aboard the hooker Anna Catharina under the Skipper Adolph Scharpenberg.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Keller on 12 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 5 with oldest son Peter Philipp and his new wife Anna Maria in Household No. 33.
Following the destruction of Keller, surviving members of the family resettled to the colony of Neu-Kolonie.
The 1767 census records that Adam Philipp came from the German village of Laubenheim in the Kurmainz region while his son Peter came from the German village of Hattersheim in the Kurmainz region.
