Heinrich Hoffmann, his wife Justina, and son Heinrich (age 6) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Heinrich under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
Johann Heinrich Hoffmann, a weaver (Weber), and his wife Justina are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Houehold No. 67.
The 1767 census records that Johann Heinrich Hoffmann came from the German village of Zoller [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hoffmann family among the Volga German colonies.
