Georg Jung, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Wachsamkeit under the command of Skipper Jacob Heinrich Sager.
Georg Jung is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Brabander on 5 September 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 78.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Georg Jung came from the German region of Bamberg. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Zahlendorf in the Bamberg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Jung family among the Volga German colonies.
