Katharina Neumann, widow of craftsman (Handwerker) Matthias Neumann, settled in the Volga German colony of Schwed on 2 June 1766. She is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 8 along with her two sons from an earlier marriage: Nils Petersen (age 5) and Karl Christian Petersen (age 1½).

The 1767 census records that Katharina Neumann came from the Danish town of Copenhagen.
