Discussion & Documentation: 

Heinrich Otto, a farmer, and his wife Friederika arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.

Johann Heinr. Otto and his wife Friederica are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Johann Heinr. Otto died in route.

It is not known in which colony widow Friederika Otto settled.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Heinrich Otto came from the German region of Bayreuth.

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