The Büdingen marriages report that Peter Scott from Kirchbracht and Margaretha Scheller from Nieder-Seemen married on 9 April 1766. 

They arrived in Russia on 4 July 1766, on the same ship as Anna Margaretha's brothers Johannes Scheller and Johann Conrad Scheller.

The Schott couple arrived in Moor on 18 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 Census (First Settlers List) in Household #44.
