Martin Dehler, a farmer, his wife Maria, and son Johann (age 1½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Nikolaus Peter Pink.
Martin Teller [sic] and his wife Maria Christiana are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Cäsarsfeld on 3 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 6 along with orphan Gottlieb Albrecht (age 7). The Dehler and Albrecht families had disembarked from the same ship in Oranienbau, but the 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Dehler and Albrecht families.
The 1767 census records that Martin Daniel Dehler came from the German village of Schinalitsch [?] in the region of Zerbst.
