Discussion & Documentation:

Johann Lossius, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.

Heinrich [sic] Loscus is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Johann Friedrich [sic] Losgus, a single farmer, is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 68.

It is not known in which colony he settled.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Lossius came from the German region of Erfurt. The 1767 census records that Johann Friedrich [sic] Losgus came from the German region of Erfurt.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
