Borth (Schwab)
Daniel Borth, a farmer, his wife Anna, son Konrad (age 4), and mother Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Concordia under the command of Skipper Jakob Bauert.
Son Konrad may be recorded as the [step-]son of Johann Peter Schwab on the 1767 census of the colony of Schwab in Household No. 4.
In 1793, Johann Konrad Borth moved from Schwab to Müller.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Daniel Borth came from the German region of Isenburg.
