Martin Ochs, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pink. Traveling with them were widow Anna Ochs and her son Johann (age ¾).
Heinrich Martin Ochs and his wife Anna Maria are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Heinrich Martin died in route.
It is not known in which colony widow Anna Maria Ochs settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that these Ochs families came from the German region of Hanau.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Ochs family among the Volga German colonies.
