Kaspar Martin, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 24 July 1766 aboard a barque named Georg under the command of Skipper Adam Bairnsfair.
Kaspar Martin is recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Kaspar Martin, a weaver (Weber), and his wife Magdalena are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 65 along with a note that they settled in the colony of Cäsarsfeld in 1768.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Kaspar Martin came from the German region of Bergen. The 1767 census records that Kaspar Martin came from the German village of Eberfeld [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Martin family among the Volga German colonies.
