Joachim Götte, his wife Charlotta, and daughter Christina (age 1-month) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
This is believed to be the same August Jütte [sic] and his [new?] wife Friederica who are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Boisroux on 7 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 12.
In 1773, August Götte and his wife moved from Boisroux to Paulskaya.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Joachim Götte was a student from Alberstedt while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer from Halberstadt.
