Joachim Christoph Petersen and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Franz Nikolaus Schröder.
Johann Chris. Petersen and his wife Anna are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Christoph Peterson, a hunter (Jäger), and his [new] wife Regina are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 35.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where Joachim Christoph Petersen came. The 1767 census records that Christoph Peterson came from the German village of Bassenheim.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Petersen family among the Volga German colonies.
