Johann Imhoff, his wife Anna Barbara, and daughter Katharina Elisabeth (age not recorded) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Perepechin.
Johann Imhoff, his wife Anna Barbara Seibel, and daughter Katharina Elisabeth (age 3) settled in the Volga German colony of Köhler on 21 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 55.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Imhoff was a farmer from the German region of Fulda. The 1767 census records that he was a blacksmith (Schmied) from the German village of Orb.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Imhoff family among the Volga German colonies.
