Johann Mattias Kegler, his wife Margaretha, and children (Maria, age 21; Katharina, age 19; Johann, age 15; Johann Peter, age 11; Katharina, age 9; Johannetta, age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Heinrich under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
Johann Mathias Kegler, his wife Maria Catharina, and children (Maria Sophia, age 21; Elisabeth, age 18; Mathias, age 15; Johann Peter, age 12) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
The surviving children (Elisabeth, age 20; Mattias, age 16) are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 75 along with their stepfather Jakob Hettrich [See Hettrich Family]. They had settled in Orlovskaya on 3 August 1767.
The 1767 census does not record from where the Kegler family came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
