Johann Herzog and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Prinz Carl (Prince Carl) under the command of Skipper Christopher Losser.
Johann Hertzog and his wife Anna are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Johann died in route.
Anna Elisabeth Herzog, widow of an unnamed farmer, settled in the Volga German colony of Frank and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 70.
The 1767 census records that Anna Elisabeth Herzog came from the German village of Fauerbach in the Hessen-Darmstadt region.
There are no known surviving male descendants of this Herzog family among the Volga German colonies.
