Johann [Heinrich] Klotz, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 18 June 1766 aboard the hooker Anna Catharina under the command of 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. 53.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Klotz came from the German region of Florstadt. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Mühlenbach.
