Andreas Orstadt, son of the late Berthold Orstadt from Frischborn, & Maria Elisabetha Eiffert, daughter of the late David Eiffert from Eichenhayn, were married on 18 August 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Schlitz.
Andreas Orstadt, a farmer, his wife Maria, and daughter Juliana (age 6-months) are recorded on an appendix to 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 47 along with a note that they relocated to the colony of Meinhard in 1768.
The 1767 census records that Andreas Orstadt came from the German village of Frischborn.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Orstadt family among the Volga German colonies.
