Johann Friedrich Friederichsen & Anna Eleonora Dourothea Margaretha Weinberg were married on 1 June 1766 in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Lübeck.
Johann Friedrichsen, his wife Anna, and wife's sister Anna (age 15) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.
Johan Fried. Friedrichsen, his wife Anna Eleonora, and wife's sister Maria Wilhelmina Weinberg are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
This Friedrichsen family is recorded twice on the 1767 census of the Volga Germans. They are recorded on the 1767 census of Dinkel in Household No. 26 and on an appendix to the 1767 census of Katharinenstadt in Household No. 4 which includes a note that they settled in the colony of Bettinger in 1768.
Anna Dorothea Weinberg from Bettinger is recorded on the 1798 census of Susannental in Household No. Ss07 married to Franz Schmidt.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Friedrichsen was a button maker from Tolstin [perhaps Holstein?]. The 1767 census of Dinkel records that Johann Friedrichsen was a farmer from the Danish village of Holmdrup. The appendix to the 1767 census of Katharinenstadt records that Johann Friedrich Friedrichsen was a button maker (Knopfmacher) from Tagloners [?] near Oberwittighausen.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Friedrichsen family among the Volga German colonies.
