Cornelius Smallan, a merchant, his wife Anna, and children (Samuel, age 7; Anna, age 3) 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.
Cornelius Smallan, his wife Anna Pastre, and children (Samuel, age 7; Anna, age 2) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that daughter Anna died en route.
It is not in which colony they settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Cornelius Smallan came from the town of Rotterdam.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Smallan family among the Volga German colonies.
