Andreas Roth, son of the late Joh. Jost Roth from Eichenhayn, & Anna Catharina Dechert, daughter of Joh. Georg Dechert from Engelroth, were married 18 August 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Schlitz.
He and his wife Catharina arrived in the Volga German colony of Boisroux on 17 August 1767. They are recorded there on a supplement to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 36 with a note that they intended to relocate to another colony in 1768.
At that point, their whereabouts become unknown because they have not been located on the 1798 Census.
The 1767 census records that Andreas Roth came from the German village of Eichenhayn.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
