Widow Maria Horn and her children (Andreas, age 12; Christoph, age 10¼; Johanna, age 5¼; Maria, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard the ship Mann und Frau under the command of Skipper Daniel Berg.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Jost on 5 July 1767. Maria remarried to Johann Jakob Arndt. Her children are recorded on the 1767 census of Jost in Household No. 8 along with step-father Johann Jakob Arndt.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Maria Horn came from the German region of Dessau.
