Adam Bahlmann [sic], a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 30 May 1766 aboard the pink Lopamink under the command of Lieutenant Kryukov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Keller on 12 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 42. The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Adam Bahlmann [sic] was a cobbler.
Following the destruction of Keller, the family relocated to Neu-Kolonie. Adam Bellmann is recorded on the 1798 census of Neu-Kolonie in Household No. Nk50.
The 1767 census records that Adam Bellmann came from the German village of Kaltenborn in the Kurpfalz region.
