Antreas [sic] Kühner and his wife Anna are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Andreas Kühner, a merchant (Kaufmann), and his wife Anna settled in the Volga German colony of Bettinger on 3 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 9.
