Friedrich Weil, a farmer, his wife Anna, and daughter Maria (age 1½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.

Friedrich Weill [sic] and his wife Juliana [sic] are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from Oranienbaum to Saratov in 1767.

Friedrich Weil, a farmer, and his wife Anna are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census in Household No. 35.

The 1767 census records that Friedrich Weil came from the German village of Runkel in the Usingen region.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Weil family among the Volga German colonies.
