Johann Georg Ruppel, a farmer, his wife [Maria] Elisabeth, and wife's sister Katharina [surname not recorded] (age 36) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard the Russian pink Vologda under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Bartenyev.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Kutter on 29 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 52.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that [Johann] Georg Ruppel came from the German region of Isenburg.
