Johann Martin & Anna Ottilia Schander have five known children, two of them baptized in the Evangelical Church of Rimbach, 43 kilometers south of Darmstadt: (1) Anna Catharina, born 8 January 1756, died 4 April 1756; and (2) Anna Catharina (again) baptized on 1 January 1758.
Martin Schander, a farmer, his wife Ottilia, and children (Philipp, age 21; Tobias, age 19; Konrad, age 16; Anna, age 7) arrived from Lübeck at the Russian port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity with skipper Thomas Fairfax at the helm.
