Schade*
Theobald Schade, a farmer, his wife Sophia, and children (Christian, age 4; Johann, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
Joh. Theob. Schade, his wife Dorothea, and sons ( Christian, age 4; Joh. Heinrich, age 2) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Johann Theobald died en route.
Sophia remarried to Martin Röhrig. The combined Schade and Röhrig family settled in the Volga German colony of Paulskaya on 7 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 30.
In 1789, Christian Schade moved from Paulskaya to Philippsfeld.
The death of Christian Schade in 1817 is recorded on the 1834 census of Philippsfeld in Household No. 41.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Theobald Schade came from the German region of Siebenlehn.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Schade family among the Volga German colonies.
