Jakob Schuckmann, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 28 July 1766 aboard a Russian galliot named Стрельна (Strelna - a village near St. Petersburg) under the command of Midshipman Login Sornev.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Huck on 17 August 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 85.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Jakob Schuckmann came from the German region of Isenburg.
