Johann[es] Griesmann, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Perepechin.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Krasnoyar on 20 July 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 89 along with his new wife Anna Katharina.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Griesmann was a carpenter from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that he was a farmer from the German village of Laubach in the Büdingen region.
