A list of 1229 colonists who settled in portions of the Posen area during the years between 1776 and 1798 (the Partition years) is available on Uwe Kerntopf's website. This info comes from 'Liste der Kolonisten aus dem Netzedistrikt von 1776-1798' von Lena Bellée-Vogt, Heft 5 der Deutschen Wissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift im Wartheland (Posen 1942). 'The settlement of people from Wuerttemberg to Westprussia and Netzegau 1776-1798').

Data is in German:
Name = Surname;
Vorname = Given name;
Herkunft = Origin;
Ansiedlungsort = Place settled;
Jahr = Year;
Beruf = Occupation;
poln. Name des Ansiedlungsortes = Polish name of settlement;
Anmerkung = Remark.

I'm not sure, but I *think* this information may have been collected by the author from surviving records, but I don't know which kind of records, whether there were specific colonist lists kept by the Prussian government, or whether the author combed church, land
and other records for references to immigrations.
