Johann [Erdmann] Titschholz, a farmer, his wife Anna, and his children (Johann [Erdmann], age 16; Johanna [Louisa], age 9; Katharina, age 6) 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.
Erdmann Tütschholtz, his wife Anna Elisabeth, and children (Johann Erdmann, age 16½; Louise, age 9½; Catharina Elisab., age 6½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Boisroux on 7 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 32.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Johann Titscholz came from the German region of Dessau.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
