Christian Sorgentreÿ & Sabina Berg were married on 26 August 1766 in Mr. Suhl's house in Lübeck.
Christian Sorgenfrey, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 26 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Die Jäger (The Hunter) under the command of Skipper Gabriel Will.
Christian Sorgenfrey, a farmer, and his wife Sabina [widow of an unnamed Siebert] are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 34 along with stepson Adam Siebert (age 9) and a note that they settled in the Volga German colony of Nieder-Monjou in 1768.
The 1767 census records that Christian Sorgenfrey came from the German village of Hohen Pritz.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
