Säger*
Heinrich Säger, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 31 May 1766 aboard the pink Slon under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Panov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Leichtling on 14 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 2. Another probable daughter, Katharina Säger, is recorded in Household No. 48.
The 1767 census records that Heinrich Säger came from the German village of Garmer in the region of Mainz.
There are no known surviving male descendants of this Säger family among the Volga German colonies.
