Kaspar Kraft, a farmer, his wife Anna, and son Johann (age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the barque named Fortitudo under the command of Skipper John Scott.

Casper Kraft, his wife Anna Catarina, and son Johann Heinrich (age 2½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that both father Casper and son Johann Heinrich died en route.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Kraft family among the Volga German colonies.
