Johann Friedrich Potthof, a saddle maker (Sattler), his wife Dorothea, and daughters (Maria, age 19; Margaretha, age 8) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Paulskaya in Household No. 100 along with a note that they relocated to the colony of Katharinenstadt in 1768.

The 1767 census records that Johann Friedrich Potthof came from the German village of Beuna.

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