Christian Sander, a farmer, his wife Maria, and children (Maria, age 15; Johann, age 11) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.
Son Johann (age 12) is recorded on the 1767 census of Dinkel in Household No. 37 along with the Hans Hartmann family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Sander and Hartmann families.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Christian Sander came from the German region of Sachsen (Saxony).
