Melchior Hahn was born on 14 Sep 1742 in Altengronau, Schlüchtern, Hessen, Germany. Melchior married Anna Elisabeth Rau on 8 Mar 1764 in Altengronau. Anna Elisabeth was born on 14 Apr 1743 in nearby Elm, Schlüchtern, Hessen, Germany. A son, Johann Conrad Hahn, was born on 27 Jan 1765 in Marjoß, near Altengronau. Melchior worked as a herdsman on the upper Rohrbacherhof estate which was located just east of Marjoß.
Melchior, Anna Elisabeth, Johann Conrad and Anna Elisabeth's widowed mother, Anna Maria, arrived in Russia on 9 Aug 1766 aboard the Russian vessel Slon (Elephant).
The Hahn's arrived in Norka on 15 Aug 1767 and were recorded in the 1767 census as household number 148. Melchior's mother-in-law, Anna Maria Rau, is not listed in this household. It is unknown whether she died en route to the settlement area or remarried and is listed in another household.
