Eva Volkmuth, a single woman, arrived from Lübeck on 14 August 1766 aboard a 2-masted merchant ship named Die Jungfer Frederika (The Maiden Frederika) under the command of Skipper Hans Christian Korsholm.
Anna Eva Folckmart [sic] is recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
It is not known in which colony she settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that she came from the German region of Würtzburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Volkmuth family among the Volga German colonies.
