Lobes
Jakob Lobes, stepson of Jakob Schulz, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Paulskaya on 7 June 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 78 along with his stepfather Jakob Schulz.
Research by Karl Becker indicates that Jakob Lobbes came from the area of Treuenbrietzen.
