[Karl] Gottfried Lühr [sic], a farmer, his wife Maria, and children (Ludwig, age 18; Wilhelmina, age 4; Johannes, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 24 July 1766 aboard a barque named Georg under the command of Skipper Adam Bairnsfair.

Gottfried Luley, his wife Maria, and children (Ludewig, age 18; Wilhelmina, age 4; Johannes, age 2½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Karl Gottfried Luley, a farmer, his wife Henrietta [sic], and children (Wilhelm, age 19; Wilhelmina, age 9; Nikolaus, age 1-week) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 68. A note on the 1767 census records that the family resettled to the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt in 1768.

Johann Sabelfeld (age 24), his wife Maria Wilhelmina née Sachs (widow Luley) (age 40), and her children (Ludwig Wilhelm Luley, age 25; Wilhelmina Luley, age 15) are recorded on the 1776 Katharinenstadt Grundbuch [Land Register] in Household No. 64 along with a note that Ludwig Wilhelm Luley deserted the colonies in 1772.

The Movement Tables accompanying the 1798 census of Katharinenstadt record that Wilhelmina, daughter of Johannes Luley, married in Penza to foreigner Guitee [?].

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Gottfried Lühr [sic] came from the German region of Waldeck while the 1767 census records that Karl Gottfried Lulea [sic] came from the German village of Alenkrinhausen [?]. The 1776 Katharinenstadt Land Register records that the Luley children came from the German village of Mengeringhausen near Waldeck and that Maria Wilhelmina née Sachs came from the German village of Sachsenhausen.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
