Margaretha Roth, widow of an unnamed farmer, and her daughters (Anna, age 11; Katharina, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.
Widow Anna Marg. Roth and her children (Anna Margaretha, age 12; Anna Catharina, age 4; Johannes, newborn) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that newborn son Johannes died in route.
Margaretha Roth and daughter Katharina Roth (age 4) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 36 along with Margaretha's new husband Andreas Müller and his children.
It is not known in which colony they settled.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Roth family among the Volga German colonies.
