Heinrich Reichmann, his wife Sophia, and children (Anna, age 9½; Johann, age 6¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Eva Maria under the command of Skipper Franz Christopher Schröder.
Heinrich Reichmann, his wife Sophia, and children (Anna, age 9; Johann Daniel, age 6¼) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that both parents and son Johann Daniel died en route.
Surviving daughter Anna is recorded as an orphan on the 1767 census on a list of Beauregard recruits (No. 1) living with the Johann Paul Eckhardt family along with a note that they settled in the Volga German colony of Zürich in 1768. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Reichmann and the Eckhardt families.
Neither the Oranienbaum passenger list nor the 1767 census record from where this Heinrich Reichmann came.
There are no known surviving male descendants of this Reichmann family among the Volga German colonies.
