Peter Wagner (age 12), settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 27 August 1766. He is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 23 along with his stepfather Friedrich Weber.
Peter Wagner (age 20), his wife Anna Dorothea née Kuhn, and her sisters (Louisa Sophia, age 7; Elisabeth, age 2) are recorded on the 1776 Katharinenstadt Grundbuch [Land Register] in Household No. 24.
The 1767 census does not record from where Peter Wagner came. The 1776 Katharinenstadt Land Register records that Peter Wagner came from the German village of Helmstadt in the Braunsch[weitz] region.
