Michael Glaub, a farmer, his wife Anna, and daughters (Katharina, age 17½; Louisa, age 10¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard an English frigate named Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
Michael Klaus [sic], a craftsman (Handwerker), his wife Anna Margaretha, and daughter Katharina Louisa (age 12) settled in the Volga German colony of Stahl am Karaman on 10 June 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 28.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Michael Glaub came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that Michael Klaus [sic] came from the German village of Büdingen in the Isenburg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Glaub family among the Volga German colonies.
