There are two Arndt families that settled in the Volga German colony of Schwab on 8 July 1767. Their relationship to each other is not recorded, but they are assumed to be father and son.

(2) Johannes Arndt (age 30), his wife Elisabeth, and children (Johann Adam, age 11; Georg Peter, age ½) are recorded on the 1767 census of Schwab in Household No. 21.
