Wagner (Pfeifer-2)*
Johann[es] Wagner, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Concordia under the command of Skipper Jakob Bauert.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Pfeifer on 15 June 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 33.
Johannes Wagner and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Pfeifer in Household No. Pf85.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Wagner came from the German region of Trier. The 1767 census records that he came from the town of Koblenz.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Wagner family among the Volga German colonies.
