Johann[es] Köhler, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Christina under the command of Skipper Jacob Stappenberg.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Huck on 1 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 43.
The 1767 census records that Johannes Köhler came from the German region of Isenburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Köhler family among the Volga German colonies.
