Ludwig Martin, a farmer, his wife Anna, and son Konrad (age 17) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 7 May 1766 aboard the galliot named Anna Katharina under the command of Skipper Daniel Heyer.
The son Konrad Martin may be the same person recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou.
Konrad Martin, a single farmer (age 18), is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou in Household No. 60.
It is not known in which colony he settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Ludwig Martin came from the German region of Erbach. The 1767 census records that Konrad Martin came from the German village of Oberbrennbach.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Martin family among the Volga German colonies.
