Johann Koch, a weaver, his wife Maria, and son Johann (age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 20 May 1766 aboard the Russian galliot Katharina Eleonora under the command of Skipper Peter Röder.
Johann Koch, his [new] wife Maria Magdalena, and daughter Maria Dorothea (age 4-weeks) are recorded on the 1775 census of Beideck in Household No. 9.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Koch came from the German region of Stadt [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Koch family among the Volga German colonies.
