Sartor*
Anton Sartor and his wife Anna Maria arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Der Engel Rafael under the command of Skipper Ehlert Kongsted.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Preuss on 16 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 121.
Anton Sartor, his wife, and his daughter and daughter's family are recorded on the 1798 census of Preuss in Household No. Ps73.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Anton Sartor was a stocking weaver while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer. Both documents record that Anton Sartor came from Salzburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Sartor family among the Volga German colonies.
