Philipp Honigmann, a farmer, his wife [Jo]Anna, and daughter Wilhelmina (age 14) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a ship named Die Zwei Gebrüder (The Two Brothers) under the command of Skipper Nicolaus Peter Pinck.
Phillip [sic] Honigmann, his wife Johanna Sophia, and daughter Hentrigetta [sic] (age 11) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Philipp died in route.
It is not known in which colony his widow and daughter settled.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Philipp Honigmann came from the German region of Hessen.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
