Johann Georg Roth, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and children (Hans, age 20; Heinrich, age 18; [Johann] Adam, age 15¼; Katharina, age 8; Anna, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard an English frigate named Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
Son Johann Adam Roth settled in the Volga German colony of Pfeifer on 20 August 1767. He is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 1 as an orphan living with the Johann Gulder family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Gulder and Roth families.

Nikolaus Roth from Kamenka and his family are recorded on the 1857 census of Marienfeld.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Georg Roth came from the German region of Mainz. The 1767 census records that Johann Adam Roth came from the German village of Aschaffenberg.
