Discussion & Documentation: 

Johann Schmidt, a farmer, his wife Elisabeth, and son Johann (age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Nikolaus Peter Pinkom.

Johann Schmidt, his wife Elisabeth, and son Johan [sic] Adam (age 4) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that wife Elisabeth died in route.

It is not known in which colony this Schmidt family settled.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Schmidt came from the German region of Darmstadt.

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