Treckmann [sic] Fusch [sic], a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 28 August 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Heinrich under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
Johannes Fuchs, a farmer, and his wife Elisabeth are recorded on the 1767 census of Ober-Monjou in Household No. 50 along with stepchildren (Elisabeth Duchscherer, age 14; Anton Duchsscherer, age 4). They had settled there on 17 August 1767.
The 1767 census records that Johannes Fuchs came from the German village of Gatscha [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Fuchs family among the Volga German colonies.
