Their daughter Anna Elisabeth was baptized in Büches on 26 January 1766.
Johann Heinrich Sattler, a farmer, and his wife Anna along with his mother Engel and sister Elisabeth (age 20) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard an English frigate named Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Messer on 18 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 50.
In 1790, widow Elisabeth Sattler and her children moved from Messer to Schilling.
