Andreas Ahlbrandt, son of Hermann Ahlbrandt & Anna Maria Eschenröder, was born 19 June 1742 in Ilbeshausen.
He married in Ilbeshausen on 4 January 1763 to Eva Catharina Keiser, daughter of Conrad Keiser & Anna Elisabeth Rohberger. Eva Catharina Keiser had been born 7 July 1744 in Ilbeshausen.
The births of three children born to Andreas Ahlbrandt & Eva Catharina Keiser are recorded in Ilbeshausen: (1) Anna Maria, born 29 May 1762 [illegitimate daughter born before they were married]; (2) Anna Catharina, born 28 December 1763; and (3) Johann Heinrich, born 5 December 1765.
Andreas Ahlbrandt, a farmer, his wife Eva Katharina, and children (Anna Maria, age 8; Anna Katharina, age 6; Johann Heinrich, age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 July 1766 aboard a ship named Apollo under the command of Skipper Friedrich Detleff Mörenberg.
Andreas Ahlbrandt (age 28), a craftsman (Handwerker), his wife Eva Katharina (age 26), and children (Anna Maria, age 6; Anna Katharina, age 4; Johannes Heinrich, age 2) are recorded on the 1767 census of Grimm in Household No. 44.
Andreas Albrandt and his family are recorded on the 1775 census of Grimm in Household No. 121.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Andreas Albrandt came from the German region of Darmstadt.
