Anton Böes married on 13 January 1729 to Anna Katharina [Lein]weber.
Their son Peter Böes was baptized on 26 April 1735 in Merzig.
Peter Böes married on 21 May 1765 in Rehlingen to Gertrude Conrad. She had been born 30 July 1738 in Rehlingen to Nikolaus Conrad & Susanna Kind.
The baptism of Simon Biss, son of Peter Biss & Gertrude Conrad, is recorded in Rehlingen on 7 February 1766.
Peter Bies, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Gertrude, son Simon (age ½), and sister-in-law Susanna [surname not recorded] (age 23) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Adler (Eagle) under the command of Skipper Paul Adolph Drath.
Peter Piess [sic], his wife Gertrudt, son Simon (age 3), and daughter [sister-in-law on Oranienbaum passenger list] Susanna (age 23) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Simon died en route.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Seelmann on 5 September 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 70.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Peter Bies came from the German region of Trier. The 1767 census records that Peter Bies came from the German village of Merzig in the Trier region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
