Johann Heinrich Stengler, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 July 1766 aboard a Danish galliot named Der Engel Rafael (Archangel Raphael) under the command of Skipper Ehlert Kongsted.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Urbach on 3 July 1767 where they are recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 30.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Heinrich Stengler was a joiner while the 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker).
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Heinrich Stengler came from the German region of Sachsen (Saxony). The 1767 census records that Johann Heinrich Stengler came from the German village of Uhyst am Taucher in the region of Sachsen (Saxony).
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
