Johann Usner, a farmer, his wife Anna, and daughter Anna (age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Reders.
Anna Cathar. Usner and her daughter Anna Dorothea (age 5) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
It is not known in which colony they settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Usner came from the German region of Darmstadt.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
