Heinrich Wilhelm Schröder, a farmer, and his wife Christina Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard the Russian pink Vologda under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Bartenyev.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Müller on 16 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 20 [where name is recorded as Johann Wilhelm].
The 1767 census records that Johann Wilhelm Schröder came from the German village of Preir in the region of Hannover.
