Krämer (Warenburg)
[Johann] Philipp Krämer, a farmer, his wife Maria, daughter (Katharina, age 6), and brother Johann [Georg] (age 22) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 25 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Maria Sophia under the command of Skipper Johann Bauert.
Joh. Phillip Kramer, his wife Maria Elisabeth, daughter Catharina Elisabeth (age 6), and [brother] Johann Georg (age 20) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Households No. 94 & 95.
In 1788, Dietrich Krämer and his wife moved from Anton to Warenburg. This Dietrich Krämer is assumed to be part of the Warenburg Krämer family since there were no Krämer families in Anton.
The 1767 census records that Johann Philipp Krämer came from the German village of Gemünden in the Darmstadt region.
