There are several Lohr-related individuals traveling together. Their relationship to each other needs further research. They arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Franz Nikolaus Schröder.
(1) Johannes Lohr (senior) arrived in Oranienbaum.
He is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that he died en route.
(2) Johann[es] Lohr (junior), his wife Anna Maria, and son Andreas (age 15) arrived in Oranienbaum.
Johannes Lohr (junior) (age 51), his wife Anna Maria, and son Andreas (age 18) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Johannes Lohr, a mason (Maurer), his wife Anna Maria, and son (Andreas, age 15) are recorded on the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 61. They had settled there on 17 August 1767.
Andreas Lohr and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Zürich in Household No. Zr42.
(3) Sebastian Heilmann [recorded with surname Lohr] arrived in Oranienbaum.
He is recorded [as Lohr] on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Sebastian Heilmann (age 22) is recorded on the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 61 along with Johannes Lohr (junior) who is identified as Sebastian's mother's brother.
(4) Georg Philipp Lohr arrived in Oranienbaum.

(5) Maria Magdalena Lohr arrived in Oranienbaum.
