Christian [sic] Lichtner, his wife Dorothea, and children (Joh. Christian, age 17½; Johanna Margareta, age 12; Carl Martin, age ¾) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that wife Dorothea died en route.

Christoph [sic] Lichtner, a farmer, his new wife Maria, and children (Johann Christian, age 16; Margaretha, age 12; Elisabeth, age 9) are recorded on the 1767 census of Kaneau in Household No. 22 along with stepdaughters (Anna Sophia Haus, age 19; Sophia Elisabeth Haus, age 17; Dorothea Elisabeth Haus, age 12; Maria Louisa Haus, age 9).
