Georg Lemmermann, a farmer, his wife Margaretha, and son Johann Nikolaus (age 20) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard the galliot Der Jan under the command of Skipper Markus Dragun.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Jost on 19 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 33.
The widow and daughter of Nikolaus Lemmermann are recorded on the 1798 census of Jost in Household No. Jo22.
The 1767 census records that Georg Lemmermann came from the German village of Weiler in the Nürnberg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
