Gottfried Schuller, a maker of Salpeter (Salpetermeister), and his wife Anna Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Drei Gebrüder (Three Brothers) under the command of Skipper Ludwig Münzenberg.
Gottfried Schuler [sic] and his wife Anna Catharina are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
It is not known in which colony this family settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Gottfried Schuller came from the German region of Württemberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Schuller family among the Volga German colonies.
