Adolph Jordan, his wife Dorothea, and children (Isabella, age 20; Karolina, age 18; Maria, age 12; Christoph, age 9; Katharina, age 5) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 20 August 1766 aboard a ship named Der Friede (Peace) under the command of Skipper Hans Karck.
Adolph Jordan, his wife Dorothea, and children (Carolina, age 18; Maria, age 12; Christoph, age 9; Catharina, age 3) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that youngest daughter Catharina died in route.
Christoph [should be Adolph based upon his age] Jordan, a farmer, and his wife Katharina are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 53 along with a note that they relocated to the colony of Biberstein in 1768.
Jakob [perhaps the aforementioned Christoph, son of Adolph] Jordan and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Biberstein in Household No. Bb01.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where Adolph Jordan came. The 1767 census records that Christoph [sic] Jordan came from the German village of Marisfeld.
