Heinrich Rothler, a farmer, his wife Elisabeth, children (Marianna, age 4; Joseph, age 1), and [step-]son Philipp [Scherscher] (age 13) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the Die Neue Freiheit von Bremen under the command of Skipper Steingrawer.

Philipp Scherscher (age 13) is recorded on the 1767 census of Preuss in Household No. 75 along with his stepfather Heinrich Rothler.

The 1767 census does not record from where Philipp Scherscher came.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
