Christoph [sic] Scharrmann, a farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a ship named Die Zwei Gebrüder (The Two Brothers) under the command of Skipper Nicolaus Peter Pinck.
Caspar Scharrmann is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Johann Kaspar Scharrmann, a farmer, and his wife Friederika settled in the Volga German colony of Nieder-Monjou on 3 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 42.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Kaspar Scharrmann came from the German region of Darmstadt.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
