Christian Barth, a weaver, his wife Maria, and children (Anna, age 7; Johann [Nikolaus], age 3; Adam, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Reders.
Christian Barth, his wife Anna Maria, and sons (Joh. Nickel [sic], age 3; Joh. Adam [age not recorded]) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that son Joh. Adam died in route.
Orphaned son Johann Nikolaus Barth (age 4) is recorded on the 1767 census of Yagodnaya Polyana in Household No. 60 along with the Simon Block family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Barth and Block families.
