Anton Lebrecht [sic] Fuchs, a baker (Bäcker), his wife Maria Elisabeth, and children (Maria Magdalena, age 17½; Christoph, age 7; Maria Christina, age 5½; Dorothea, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 21 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig Mercurius under the command of Skipper Christian Heinrich Abelßen.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Jost on 16 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 41.
The 1767 census records that Johann Anton [sic] Fuchs came from the German village of Hettstedt in the region of Sachsen (Saxony).
