Christian Hartz, a single farmer, arrived from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 30 May 1766 aboard the pink Lopamink under the command of Lieutenant Kryukov.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 115 along with a note that he is living with the Pastor.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Christian Hartz came from the German region of Nassau. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Allendorf in the Nassau-Weilburg.
