Stellwagen (Preuss)
Michael Stellwagen, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard the galliot Der Jan under the command of Skipper Markus Dragun.
Both Michael and his wife died. Their 9-year-old daughter Katharina settled in the Volga German colony of Preuss where she is recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 96 with the Michael Resch family.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that the Stellwagen family came from the German region of Ansbach.
