Christian Gottlieb Teussner, a baker, his wife Dorothea, and daughter Dorothea (age 2½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the pink Cargo under the command of Lieutenant Moses Davydov.
Christian Teussner and his wife Dorothea Elisabeth are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Christian died in route.
It is not known in which colony his widow settled.
The 1767 census records that Christian Gottlieb Teussner came from the German region of Breslau.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Teussner family among the Volga German colonies.
