[Johann] Konrad Eberhardt and his wife Dorothea arrived from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum aboard the pink Slon under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Panov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767. Konrad Eberhardt is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 117 along with his new wife Katharina Elisabeth and her daughter (Anna Margaretha, age 11) [surname not recorded].
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Konrad Eberhardt was a teacher from Hanau. The 1767 census records that he was a musician (Musiker) from the German village of Wolfgang in the Hanau region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Eberhardt family among the Volga German colonies.
