An article by Wilhelm Funk records the following going to Russia:
Anton Richter, a farmer (Bauersmann), son of the deceased Gg. Richter, farmer (Bauer) in Vaslavitz near Neuschlosz in Bohemia, & Cathar,Wagner, daughter of the deceased Joh. Gg. Wagner, master weaver (Webermeister) in Bischofstriniz in Bohemia, both Catholic, were married 26 May 19766 in the Lutheran Church in Wöhrd.
Anton Richter, a farmer, and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Wachsamkeit under the command of Skipper Jacob Heinrich Sager.
Antonyus [sic] Richter and his wife Cathrina are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Seelmann on 5 September 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 54.
The 1767 census records that Anton Richter came from the German village of Neuschloß in Böhmen (Bohemia). The 1767 census also records that his wife Katharina came from the German village of Waslawiz bei Neuschloß in Böhmen (Bohemia).
