Caspar Bopp [sic] from Vonhausen & Anna Dorothæe Daut, widow of Friedrich Daut from Diebach, were married on 9 April 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen.
Kaspar Popp, a farmer, his wife Anna, and childen (Maria Elisabeth, age 16; Johann, age 13) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Mathias under the command of Skipper David Wollert.
Kaspar Popp, his wife Anna Dorothea, and daughter Maria Elisabeth (age 17) are recorded on the 1767 census of Messer in Household No. 82. They had settled there on 18 June 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Kaspar Popp came from the German region of Isenburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Popp family among the Volga German colonies.
