Andreas Reichert, a farmer, his wife Anna [Sabina], and son Johann (age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Neptunus (Neptune) under the command of Skipper Johann Graap.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Kutter on 29 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 70.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Andreas Reichert came from the German region of Isenburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Reichert family among the Volga German colonies.
