Widow Anna Katharina Trapp, her daughters Susanna Trapp [wife of Gerhardt Froschhauser] and Magdalena Trapp [who later married Lorenz Rickert] arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a pinque named Каргополь (Kargopol: a Russian City) under the command of Captain Lieutenant Moses Davydov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Köhler on 21 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Households No. 81 & 82.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Magdalena Trapp came from the German region of Mainz.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
