Johann [Michael] Stadt, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), and his wife Maria arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the galliot Anna Katharina under the command of Skipper Johann Joachim Janson.

Joh. Mich. Stadt and his wife Maria are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Orlovskaya on 3 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 54.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Johann Michael Stadt came from the German region of Mainz.
