Herrmann Wolf, a bookbinder (Buchbinder), his wife Katharina, and children (Johann, age 15; Elisabeth, age 9) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.
Herrmann Wolf, his wife Katharina, and daughter Sophia (age 15) are recorded on the 1767 census of Jost in Household No. 73. They had settled there on 5 September 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Herrmann Wolf came from the German region of Hamburg.
