Heinrich Pfeiff, a farmer, his wife Anna, children (Anna [Margaretha], age 16; [Anna] Katharina, age 12; Johann [Ludwig], age 9; Anna, age 6; Maria, age 1), and brother Johann (age 50) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the barque named Fortitudo under the command of Skipper John Scott.
The three surviving children (Anna Margaretha, Anna Katharina, and [Johann] Ludwig) are recorded on the 1767 census of Krasnoyar in Household No. 6 along with the Johannes Uhrich family. The 1767 census does not record a relationshipbetween the Pfeiff and Uhrich families.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that this Pfeiff family came from the German region of Laubach.
