Jakob Weber, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and children (Johann, age 9; Peter, age 7; Katharina, age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 21 July 1766 aboard a koff named Alette under the command of Skipper Wybe Hendricks.
Jacob Weber, his wife Catarina, and children (Johann Georg, age 10; Johann Peter, age 9; Catarina Elisabeth, age 3) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that mother Catarina died en route.
