Orphan Johannes Raabe (age 15¼) is recorded on the 1767 census of Warenburg in Household No. 35 along with the family of Johann Peter Nickel.
The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Raabe and Nickel families.
[Johann Nickel, a farmer, his wife Julianna, and children (Johann, age 15; Johann [again], age 8; Barbara, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard the ship Mann und Frau under the command of Skipper Daniel Berg. It appears that the 15-year-old Johann was Johann Raabe.]
The 1767 census does not record from where Johannes Raabe came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Raabe family among the Volga German colonies.
