Johann Kaspar Heinrich, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Mathias under the command of Skipper David Wollert.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Reinwald on 24 June 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 47 along with his new wife Maria.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Kaspar Heinrich came from the German region of Riedesel while the 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Mudersbach.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Heinrich family among the Volga German colonies.
