An article by Hermann Wäschke records the following:
Johann Michael Schrödter/Schröter, a day laborer (Tagelöhner) from Jesznitz, with his wife and 2 children, who made his living with his cart of hops (Hopfenkarren) and by selling porcelain (Porzellanhandel). His property on the Sandanger was sold for 20 Thaler from which 19 Thaler went for the payment of his debts. Schrödter/Schröter was born in Jeßnitz and had served in the Saxon army.
[Johann] Michael Schröder, a merchant (Kaufmann), his wife Anna, and children (Maria, age 9; Johann, age 1) 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.
Johann Mich. Schroeder, his wife Anna Rosina, and children (Maria Theresia, age 9; Joh. Michael, age 1) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 7 June 1767. They are recorded on the 1767 census of Katharinenstadt in Household No. 42 where is wife is recorded as Anna Rosina Fischer.
The 1767 census records that Johann Michael Schröder came from the German village of Jesseitz [Jeßnitz?] in the Dessau-Anhalt region. The 1767 census records that Anna Rosina Fischer came from the German region of Sachsen (Saxony).
