Johann Nikolaus Hirsch, his wife Anna Maria, and children (Teresia, age 3¼; Johann, age 1¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 21 September 1766.

Johann Nicolaus Hirsch, his wife Anna Maria, and children (Theresia, age 5; Johann, age 1) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from Oranienbaum to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that mother Anna Maria and son Johann died in route.

Johann Nikolaus Hirsch, a glaser (Glasier), his [new] wife Maria, and daughter Maria [sic] (age 4) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Paulskaya in Household No. 103.

The 1767 census records that Johann Nikolaus Hirsch came from Wald-Michelbach.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Hirsch family among the Volga German colonies.
