Peter Schlider, a widowed farmer, and his children (Friedricka, age 21; Victoria, age 20; Hieronymos, age 16) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pink.
Widower Peter Schlider and his son Hyeronimus [sic] (age 16) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that father Peter died en route. Also listed with them is Victoria Tilo identified as a possible step-daughter of Peter Schlider.
It is not known in which colony son Hieronymos Schlider settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Peter Schlider came from the German region of Hamburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Schlider family among the Volga German colonies.
