Martin Gross, a farmer, and his wife Johanna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Nikolaus Peter Pinkom.
Martin Gross and his [new?] wife Anna Elisabeth are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
It is not known in which colony Martin Gross settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Martin Gross came from the German region of Dessau.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Gross family among the Volga German colonies.
