Wolf (Grimm-1)*
Johann Georg Wolf, his wife Maria, and children (Johann, age 6; Anna, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the Russian galliot named Kronverk under the command of Lieutenant Dmitry Ilyin.
Georg Wolf settled in the Volga German colony of Grimm and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 41 along with his new wife Margaretha.
Georg Wolf, his wife Maria Margaretha, and daughter Katharina are recorded on the 1775 census of Grimm in Household No. 119.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Georg Wolf was a farmer while the 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker).
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Georg Wolf came from the German region of Isenburg.
There do not appear to be surviving male descendants of this Wolf family among the Volga German colonies.
