Johann[es] Bachmann, a farmer, and his wife Susanna arrived from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 30 May 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Ivan Perepechin.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 25 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 36.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Bachmann came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Mühlhausen.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Bachmann family among the Volga German colonies.
