Andreas Dotzert [sic] & Anna Margaretha Traut, both from Stockhausen in the area of Riedesel, were married on 14 April 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen.
Andreas Dozert, his wife Anna, and his mother-in-law Anna Maria [Bär] arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 11 June 1766 aboard a galliot named Der Junge Mattias (The Young Mattias) under the command of Skipper David Wohlert.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Dobrinka on 20 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 86.
Katharina Dutzed [sic] from Dobrinka, presumed to be the daughter of Andreas Dotzert, is recorded on the 1798 census of Dreispitz in Household No. Dr39.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Andreas Dozert was a joiner while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Andreas Dozert came from the German region of Riedesel. The 1767 census records that Andreas Dozert came from the German village of Schönhausen in the Riedesel area.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
