Abraham Stephan & Catharina Neureuter were married on 18 June 1766 in Roßlau.
Abraham Stephan and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Drei Gebrüder (Three Brothers) under the command of Skipper Ludwig Münzenberg.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 160.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Abraham Stephan was a cobbler from the Pfalz. The 1767 census records that he was a farmer from the German village of Dörbach [?] in the Kurpfalz region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
