Peter Hartmann, a farmer, his wife Anna, and children (Ludwig, age 17; Johann Peter, age 15; Katharina, age 12; Elisabeth, age 10; Anna, age 4; Johann, age 1) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 11 June 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Der Jäger under the command of Skipper Gabriel Will.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Seelmann on 15 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 12.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Peter Hartmann came from the German region of Kollmar. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Bieneron? in the region of Darmstadt.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hartmann family among the Volga German colonies.
