August Hene, a farmer, his wife Maria, and daughter Maria (2½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.
Johann August Hein, a farmer, and his wife Maria Elisabeth settled in the Volga German colony of Jost on 5 September 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 71.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that August Hene came from the German region of Zerbst. The 1767 census records that Johann August Hein came from the German village of Lindau in the region of Anhalt-Zerbst.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hene family among the Volga German colonies.
