Widow Elisabeth Weigandt and her son Johannes (age 18) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 17 July 1766 aboard a pink named Lev (Lion) under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Fyodorov.
Johannes settled in the Volga German colony of Kutter on 8 July 1767 where he is recorded on the 1767 census in Household No. 44.
By 1798, Johannes moved to the colony of Anton where he is recorded on the 1798 census in Household No. An18.
The death of Johannes Weigandt in 1820 is recorded on the 1834 census of Anton in Household No. 49.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that this Weigandt family came from the German region of Isenburg.
