'''Additional Notes from merged profile: [[Keim-22]]''' ==Notes== - - :--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Kenneth E. Loch questions the authenticity of the Keim artifacts and the connections then made about the ancestors of Johannes Keim in his article "Keim Ancestors from A.D. 1020?", printed in the Journal of the Berks County Genealogical Society, Vol. 9, No. 3., Spring 1989. Most people base their research on "The Keim & Allied Families in America & Europe," a monthly publication begun in Dec. 1898 and edited by DeBennville Randolph Keim. This publication presents the two-page handwritten listing of Johannes' marriages and first seven children's births and the carved chest as evidence of the Keim lineage. Koch questions the authenticity of these artifacts and says: "The chest/box is housed at the DAR Museum in Washington, D.C. The educated guess of the museum's curator is that it was made no earlier than 1750 and that the legend (with the date 1662) painted on it was not done by the maker. At this time, I am not prepared to accept any ancestors before Johannes, the Oley immigrant. The "evidence" gathered together in "The Keim and Allied Families" is just too little and too contrived." - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Virginia Pierce email of April 13, 2000: "With calendar changes occurring in this time period, it is hard to say exactly when some of the above dates occur. In the Historical and Biographical Annals of Berks County by Morton L. Montgomery, published in 1909 on pages 1647 and 1648, is an account of the Keim family. It says that the family has a paper written by the ancestor Johannes Keim. This has descended thru the Nicholas Keim line. The paper begins with, "Ich Johannes Keim hab mich verheiratat indem jahr 1706 viertzen tag von Michels." Michaelmas is the 29th day of September, and was one of the four quarter days in England. Assuming that Johannes was referring to September when he says "von Michels," this makes the first marriage the 15th of September, 1706. However, it could mean the fourteenth day after Michaelmas. - - : Virginia Pierce e-mail of April 13, 2000: Johannes writes, "Und indemjahr 1731 den ersten tag in dem jahr 1731 habe ich meiner zweihefrau zurehe genommen." He married the first day of the year, but with calendar changes occurring at this time, this could mean the 1st of January, 1731 as in the new calendar, or it could mean March when the old calendar year began. - : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Release John Kihm [Keim] to George Kihm [Keim]: "This indenture, made the 29th day of April, 1762, between John Kihm, Stephen Kihm, Nicholas Kihm, John Henry Schneider and Catherine his wife (late Catherine Kihm), Christian Hoffart and Elisabeth his wife (late Elisabeth Kihm), Jacob Kihm, Conrad Kihm, Jacob Yoder and Maria his wife (late Maria Kihm) ,Michael Witman and Barbara his wife (late Barbara Kihm) and Frederick Hung and Susannah his wife (late Susannah Kihm), heirs and representatives of John Kihm, late of Oley, in the County of Berks and Province of Penna., deceased of the one part and George Kihm, of Oley aforesaid Yeoman, of the other part." - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ANNALS OF OLEY VALLEY, Part 5 of 6 The Levan Family, by Rev. Philip Columbus Croll - : The LEVANs of Berks were members of the Huguenots. That scholarly student and fellow-descendant of this stock, Rev Dr. A. STAPLETON, in his treatise on "The Huguenot Element in the Settlement of Berks County", contends that the KEIMS, BERTOLETS, DeTURCKs and LEVANs were all closely related by ties of kinship before they ever came to America. He says: "A careful study of the settlement of Berks County convinces us of the fact that there were well-defined and preconcerted movements of Huguenots, as well as German elements, with a view to contiguous settlement. This is shown in their connections prior to emigration, and the fact of their settling in close proximity when they came, even though they did not come in a body." - : "Probably the first member of what was the most important Huguenot settlement in Berks County was Johannes KEIM, from the vicinity of Spier in Rhenish Bavaria. Although he bore an honored German name, yet we know from the researches of several of his descendants that he was connected with the de HARCOURT family, one of the most distinguished of France. Richard, Count de HAR-COURT, one of the knights of William the Conqueror (1066 A.D.), has given to England some of its greatest statesmen." - : THE PIONEER KEIM. "French history abounds with references to the achievements of many who bore this name. Soon after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, they retired to places of security. We will meet one of these families presently, and quite likely the one with which KEIM was connected. The pioneer, Johannes KEIM, came to the Oley Valley in 1698, squatted on a tract of land below (above i.e. n.e. of) Friedensburg, and returned to Europe. In 1706 he married, according to family tradition, a de TURCK, and the following year returned to America and located permanently on this land, for which he received a warrant in 1720. He was the ancestor of a great and honored posterity." - : "Before proceeding let us glance for a moment at the map of Bavaria. Not far from the city of Spier, the home of the KEIMS, will be seen Landau, from whence Rev. Joshua KOCHERTHAL led the first colony of Palatinates to London, and thence to New York, and from whence eventually nearly all came to Pennsylvania. You will keep this initial colony in mind. Not far from Spier was Frankenthal, where the DeTURCKs located when they fled from France at the Revocation (1685). Another town within easy reach was Minnefelten, where the BERTOLETs located for a while. Muehlhaften, a small town, is situated near Landau. Let it be borne in mind that these places were all within easy communication. At Muehlhaften, was the home of Jean de HARCOURT, of the ancient French family of that name. That the KEIMs were connected with this family admits of no doubt, as the grandfather of the Oley immigrant was Ludwig de HARCOURT KEIM, and on the lid of a box brought over by the immigrant and still preserved by his descendants, is the portrait of a pair bearing this inscription: Ludwig HARCOURT KEIM, Bertha KEIM, Landgraff Von Alsace A.D., 1662". - : "From this it would seem that the KEIMs were of the nobility. Among the children of Jean de HARCOURT were at least two, and perhaps three, daughters who as mothers gave to posterity thousands of Berks County's best citizens. The French armies having overrun and ravaged the entire valley of the Rhine, the inhabitants were driven into terrible straits. Spier, Manheim, Heidelberg and many other places were laid in ashes, and the French who had found a refuge there were in greater distress than ever before." - : AIDED BY QUEEN ANNE. "A family of patrician rank named de BERTHOLET, having fled from France to Switzerland, some of the members and perhaps the entire family later removed to Minnefelten, where a son named Jean (John) married Susanna de HARCOURT, daughter of Jean, previously noted, in 1710. He located on a farm belonging to the bailiwick of Seltz, in Alsace, about 30 miles from Strasburg. At this time the inhabitants of this region were fleeing by thousands to London; their great leader was, as said, Rev. (Joshua) KOCHERTHAL, who in 1706 went to England and interested the authorities in the woeful condition of his country." - : "Receiving assurances of support from high authorities, he set out in 1708 for London with some 21 families, composed of 54 persons. They reached their destination after great hardships, and utterly destitute. Good Queen Anne was touched by the sad story of their sufferings and gave them an allowance of a shilling each per day. The colonists were supplied with tools and other necessaries, and in April, in company with Gov. LOVELACE, they were sent to New York. In this convoy we are deeply interested, as about half of them were French Huguenots, and almost the entire company eventually came to Lancaster and Berks Counties". In this list we see the name of Maria WEMAR (WEIMAR), widow, and her daughter, Catharine, aged two years. She was a daughter of Jean de HARCOURT (de HEROKEN), of Muehlhaften, already referred to. Then we find the name of Isaac DETURCK, who was than a bachelor well along in years. - : THREE SETTLERS. We have seen in our last chapter that soon after their arrival in New York DETURCK married the widow WEIMAR and later (1712) moved to Oley, and that here, when grown to womanhood, Elizabeth WEIMAR, stepdaughter of Isaac DETURCK, married Abraham LEVAN. So here we have at last three Huguenot settlers, Isaac DETURCK, Jean BERTOLET (described in a previous chapter) and Abraham LEVAN, settling near Johannis KEIM, an earlier immigrant, whose wife, tradition has it, was a sister of Isaac DETURCK, all closely connected with the de HARCOURTS. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Newspaper article, Keim's Walnut Trees, by Wayne E. Homan, "Reading Eagle," March 12, 1972. - : Berks Co. Deed book 143, p. 599. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Bill Kimes research: The grave of Johannes Keim is in a walled graveyard several hundred yards north of the intersection of Limekiln Road and Oley Turnpike, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. Coming from the east on Oley Turnpike as you near Limekiln Road, look off to the right and the cemetery's walls are clearly visible out in the pasture. Turn right onto Limekiln and go a few hundred yards to the first farm on the right. The cemetery is not visible from where you park, but it is behind the barn nearest the house. Ask the owner for permission to see the cemetery. The grave is marked with a large headstone carrying the name of Johannes, followed by an illegible last name which appears to be only four letters in length. The last two letters seem to be "im"and the first letter appears to be the top part of a "K." - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - In the summer of 2000 Doug and I visited the graveyard Bill described. Most of the graves are Schneiders. NICHOLAS KEIM and his wife, BARBARA (SCHNEIDER) KEIM, are there along with a some of their progeny. Two of the largest gravestones are of JOHANNES and KATARINA SCHNEIDER, the immigrant parents of the Oley valley Schneider progeny, and Barbara's parents. Bill had mentioned that it was raining the day he was there and the grave he found said Johannes and then he thought the last name might be Keim. It was a short name and the last two letters appeared to be "im." We found a gravestone matching that description. It was not one of the largest stones. It was very eroded and difficult to read. However, two dates that did appear quite legible were 1767 and 1823. This grave can't be that of JOHANNES KEIM the immigrant. Other last names that are found in this fairly large, walled graveyard include GHEER, MESSERSMITH and LEVAN. One of the graves was a JOHANNES LEVAN b. 1798, d. 1882. I don't believe the grave of JOHANNES KEIM the immigrant has been located. Susan Kimes Burgess - : The Jacob Keim Farmstead is maintained by the Historic Preservation Trust of Berks County, P.O.

My grandfather, Nicholas Keim, arrived here (Johnstown) from Berks Co., Penn. before the year 1800. He was a good friend of Mr. Johns. The town was laid out in 1801. My great-grandfather, Peter Keim of Reading, bound out all his children after his wife died, and Nicholas, his son, my grandfather, was trained up by an Amish Minninite. Peter Keim accompanied by his family, his oldest son Nicholas, having been born in Oley, Berks Co., Penn. on February 2, 1768, and his eldest son John was born January 9, 1792. The family settled at Elk Lick, in now Somerset County, about the close of the 18th Century. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Questioning who were the wives of Johannes Keim? From Jeff Reimert - : Johannes m. (1st) in Germany, in 1706, fourteen days before the feast of St. Michael's, Katarina MOYER.....I have seen that her surname was Moyer but have also seen it claimed that he was married to Katarina (or Bertha) DeTurk, dau. of Johannes DeTurk and Hester (Esther) Kip (Katarina DeTurck is apparently the sister of Isaac DeTurck). Have even seen that he was married to Katarina Haricourt. Other sources also note that his first wife died in 1730 or 1731. - : From Rootsweb KEIM Mailing List: Leah Kime Pratz in her manuscript "The record of the Keim, Kime and Kimes and related families" says the following: (pages are unnumbered) "He [Johannes Keim] married (first) in Germany in 1706, Katarina Moyer; married (second) January 1, 1731, Maria Elizabeth." She is listed as Katarina Moyer at least three times in the manuscript. No sources are given. [NO SOURCES!!!!!] - : From "History of Bettsville and Liberty Twp." (Seneca Co.) by John E. Durrett. I'll summarize: In 1698, Johannes Keim (Kime), age 23, left Landau, Bavaria, Germany, impelled by religious convictions, and landed in Philadelphia. Johannes and wife, Katrina Moyer, settled in Oley, PA, where he died ca. 1753. - : Also: "The record states that Johannes had six children by his first wife, Katarina Moyer. The last child being born in 1724. He married a second wife, Maria Elizabeth, in 1731, and their first child was born in 1732. In between these two dates 1724-1732 is the only place where my ancestor, PHILIP, fits. He was born in 1730, but there is no record that proves that this is so. However, all research indicates that he is a descendent of the PA Keims. There is also a record by Leah Kime Pratz - Annals of the Oley Valley. It is a very interesting record of Johannes and his family." - : In Keim and Allied Families in America and Europe, an entry from William Miles Kime (Keim) of Pleasant Lodge, Alamance Co., N.C., dated September 1900 Vol. 1,2, Reading, PA - Harrisburg, PA. No. 22.; there is an article by Isaac DeTurk (Doc. Hist., N.Y., O'Callaghan, Vol. III,P.551) as follows: Another entry dated April 29, 1710: A tradition from the ancients of the family says that Johannes Keim, Founder, married Bertha DeTurck. The marriage took place 1706 in Germany before his return to America in 1707. The DeTurcks, of Frankenthal, and the Keims of Landau, near Speyer, lived in localities not far distant." - : The first wife of Johannes Keim is Bertha DeTurck. It is mentioned in the Keim & Allied Families by DeB. Randolph in their September 1900 issue #22. - : Another source written on the family is the book by VanCleave. He introduces yet another variation on the name of Johannes's first wife, Katarine DeTurck (seems to be a combination of Bertha DeTurk and Katarina Moyer) as the wife of Johannes Keim, the Immigrant. - : An article about the KEIM family published in the Reading Eagle on March 12, 1972, shows the first wife as Bertha DeTurck, married in 1706. This article also states that Johannes married Marie Elizabeth in 1733. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Following taken from the section on DeBenneville Randolph KEIM as written in AMERICAN ANCESTRY, Vol. VIII, publ. 1893. - : John of Oley, Phila., Pa., b. in Alsace, Ger., d. in Oley, Pa., 1732, founder of the family of Berks Co., landed in Phila. 1698, joind the Germantown settlement, moved up the valley and settled in Oley 1704, being one of the first settlers in that region, subsequently a settlement of Swiss, French and German emigrant refugees, from religious persecution in Europe, immediately occupied several tracts of land which were surveyed 1719 and 1740, was on the first list of taxables of this section of Phila. co.

He immigrated about 1707 to Pennsylvania. It is said he made a preliminary visit to America, 1698 or 1699, and returned to Germany, where he married, and came back to Pennsylvania, 1707 or perhaps earlier, when he located on the Manatawny in Oley Valley in the upper part of Philadelphia County. His warrant for survey is dated 27th November, 1719-20. He resided in 1734 in Oley Twp., Philadelphia Co.,Pennsylvania. John Kimes paid taxes on 100 acres of land in 1734.

According to the article, The Pikeville property was the one > that George Keim inherited in 1762. The property near Pikeville is the original Johannes Keim property later owned by George Keim. The Keim property on Boyer Road is the Jacob Keim property owned by Jacob, the son of Johannes Keim b. abt. 1675. This property was originally part of the Johannes Hoch property (Jacob's wife's father), not part of the original Keim property. In the book, "The Oley Valley Heritage The Colonial Years: 1700-1775" by Philip E. Pendleton, 1994. The author has mapped the landownership in 1725, 1750 and 1775 in Exeter, Oley, and the Amity Zones. In 1775 George Keim owned all the land that was owned previously in 1725 and 1750 by Johannes Keim. In 1750 the Johannes Hoch property is a large parcel on the border of the Oley Zone and Rockland Township. It appears Johannes Hoch increased his property holdings after 1750 and then died. In 1775 the Jacob Keim property is a parcel bordered on the east and west by the estate of Johannes Hoch. Abraham Hoch has the major portion of the original Johannes Hoch property from 1750 adjoining the easternmost parcel of the estate of Johannes Hoch. All these parcels lie near or on the boundary between Oley and Rockland Townships. It seems to me that the part of one of these parcels may have become the Gheer Farm. Note below where it states that the Gheer Farm is on the Oley line. Jeff continued, > The article mentions 2 Keim burial plots on the Keim Rd. property. The two burial sites are near the present Jacob Keim property and were at one time part of the Jacob Keim property which was earlier owned by Johannes Hoch. One site is where Jacob and his wife Magdalena are buried. Theirs are the only gravestones in this plot. The second site is mostly Jacob's son, John, and hisprogeny. The grave of Johannes Keim b. abt. 1675 is not located in either site as far as I know. But, I have not seen a list of all headstones located in the larger family plot.

This would make her born 1713, which date would correspond. He married her in 1731 when she was 18 years of age."In Memory of Maria Elizabeth died the 2nd of June, 1772, died at age 59. Please follow this and see if it makes sense: 1. It looks to me as if Johan Keim and Catherine are the children of Johan Keim and his wife Susann. 2. Johan Keim, the son, was born the 20th of February, 1771 and died the 21st of December, 1781 at the age of 10 yrs, 10 months, 1 day. 3. Catherina, their daughter, was born the 5th of August, 1781 and died the 9th of January, 1784 at the age of 2 yr., 5 mon., 6 days (looks like four days to me). 4. The Jacob Keim b.1724 (son of Johannes Keim b.abt. 1675) had a son named Johannes "John" Jacob Keim b. 1756. "John" married Susan Weidner and they lived on the Boyer Rd. Keim property. Are these the Johan and Susanna on this headstone? "John" would have been only 15 and Susan only 14 when Johan, the 10 year old was born but this is possible although seems improbable. Susan is said to have been born in 1757 and died in 1825. I don't know how accurate these dates are and where they came from. They make her 68 at the time of her death, not 705 [sic.] John and Susanna had one surviving son that I know of, Jacob Keim born in 1787. Is he the brother of Johan and Catherina? I guess my next questions are: Where was this headstone? Is it located in the burial site on Boyer Rd.? If so then these could very likely be the son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren of Jacob Keim b.1724. But it says "on the Gheer farm on the Oley line." Was the property across the road from the present Jacob Keim property somehow owned by a Gheer by 1894 before the death of the last Keim to own the house on Boyer Rd.? Elizabeth Keim died in 1911 and the property was sold in 1912 to M. H. Boyer. Is there someome who can check that family plot carefully and find out? Is it OK with you if I post all this to the Keim list? Susan. He was a Carpenter. He has Ancestral File number QTBH-FS. Johannes Keim was the pioneer of the Huguenots to the Oley Valley.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dated 29-Apr-1762, titled"Release John Kihm [Keim] toGeorge Kihm [Keim]."

P.C. CrollD.D. of Womelsdorf, Pa. We have alreadyalluded to JOHN KEIM, his firstwife and the Keim Homestead in Oley, inour chapter on "EarlySettlements", the widespread character of thispioneer banyan tree,planted .. early in the rich soil of the OleyValley, and the importanceof this family in the history and upbuildingof the county and the cityof Reading with an increasing ratio fromgeneration to generation, callsfor an entire chapter on this subject.JOHANNES KEIM, the Americanancestor, was a native of Speier, Germany,and was born about 1675. Hewas the son of Johann (John) Keim. Thelatter was a son of George Keim, amerchant of Speier, who was a son ofLudwig Hercourt Keim, of ...RhineValley, and an officer in the ThirtyYears' War. Hercourt is doubtlessthe mother's maiden name and it looksas if he was related to Mrs. IsaacDeTurck and Mrs. Jean Bertolet, whowere Hercourts. As he settled in Oleybefore either the DeTurcks orBertolets, it is probable that hissettlement here may have been thecause of the later coming ... thesepossible acquaintances and kin.Like so many other happy andwell-to-do-residents of this Rhine sectionof Germany, the Frenchinvasion of the Palatinate (1688-1697),financially ruined Johannes Keim.So he visited the New World on aprospecting tour in 1698. Coming to thisinviting section of Penn's yetalmost impenetrable woods, he staked off aclaim in the Oley Valleynear the headwaters of the Manatawny Creek, thenwent back to theFatherland, wooed, won and married his Katrina, returnedwith her toAmerica and there among the first white settlers of all thisregion, in1706., reared their first rude log cabin and planted thisprosperousland outspreading Berks County banyan. The building was placedon thecenter of his large landed tract, in one of the richest blackwalnutgroves or forests to be found anywhere, which was it's self a suresignof richness of soil. This first Keim home was near Pikeville andlaterthe tract northeast of Friedensberg was bought and settled on,eitherby the American progenitor or his son. The private graveyards areatthe ancestral homestead. AUTOBIOGRAPHY A single bit ofautobiographyhas come down to his descendants in the form of a faded,time-worn andbroken two leafed document in the original Johannes Keimsown GermanScroll. It descended through the hands of his fourth child(third son)Nicholas Keim and through this line lodged in the family ofDaniel MayKeim, of Bristol, Pa. It reports the following familyhistory: Ich,Johannes KEIM, hab mich verheiratet in dem Jahr, 1706,viertzen tag VonMichels. Katarina, geboren auf Michel's Tag, 1708.1793, den 8 Maibegraben. (This is another hand added.) Und in demJahr, 1711, vierWochen Von Ostern, ist mein sohn Johannes zur weltgeboren. Stephanus,geboren 28 ten Martz, 1717. Hantz Nickel, April den2 ten, 1719.Elizabeth, February, 1723. Jacob, October, 1724. Und indem Jahr 1731,den ersten tag in dem Jahr 1731, habe ich meine zweitefrau Zur Ehegenommen. Und in dem Jahr 1732, den 27 April, ist meinSohn Heinrich zurWelt geboren. This family register translated intoEnglish reads asfollows: I, John Keim was married in the year 1706, 14days before St.Michael's Day. Katharine was born on St. Michael's Day,1708. (In anotherhand) buried the 8thday of May 1793. And in the year1711, four weeksbefore Easter, my son John was born into the world.Stephen, born March28, 1717 John Nicholas, April 2, 1719 Elizabeth,February 1723 Jacob,October 1724 And in the year 1731, the first dayof the year, 1731, Itook my second wife into wedlock. And in the year1732, the 27th ofApril, my son Henry was born into this world. Herethe record ends. Butnot the births. By this second marriage nine morechildren were born toJohannes Keim-- a total of 16 branchlets takingroot in the rich soil ofOley to perpetuate and spread this ancestralbanyan. They were all bornon this homestead of the Keims in theheadwaters of the Manatawny, nowOley, Berks County, then PhiladelphiaCounty. The last Will and Testamentprobated in Reading Jan 1, 1754,(Mr. Keim having died in 1753), theChristian name of the second wifeis given as MariaElizabeth.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Paraphrased from "Keim and Allied Families in America and Europe":Oley,which was in Philadelphia County, now in Berks County, is/waslocatedabout one-half mile from the village of Pleasantville,approachingLobachsville, then the frontier side of the Oley Hills andfifteen milessoutheast of the present city of Reading, PA. Parents:Johann KEIM. He was married to Maria Elizabeth BOLLER in 1731/32 inPhiladelphia Co., Pennsylvania. MariaElizabeth was Johannes' secondwife. Date could have been Jan 1 1731 orMarch 25 1731 depending whichcalendar was used. Children were: MariaKEIM , George KEIM. He was married to KatarinaBertha DETURCK on 15 Sep 1706 inLandau, Speyer,Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany. Johannes m. (1st) in Germany,in 1706,fourteen days before the feast of St. Michael's, KatarinaMOYER.....Ihave seen that her surname was Moyer, but have, also, seen itclaimedthat he was married to Katarina (or Bertha) DeTurk, dau. ofJohannesDeTurk and Hester (Esther) Kip (Katarina DeTurck is apparentlythesister of Isaac DeTurck). Have even seen that he was marriedtoKatarina Haricourt. Other sources also note that his first wife diedin1730 or 1731 From Rootsweb KEIM Mailing List: Leah Kime Pratz inhermanuscript "The record of the Keim, Kime and Kimes and relatedfamilies"says the following: (pages are unnumbered) "He [JohannesKeim] married(first) in Germany in 1706, Katarina Moyer; married(second) January 1,1731 Maria Elizabeth." She is listed as KatarinaMoyer at least threetimes in the manuscript. No sources are given. [NOSOURCES!!!!!] From"History of Bettsville and Liberty Twp." (SenecaCo.) by John E. Durrett.I'll summarize: In 1698, Johannes Keim (Kime),age 23, left Landau,Bavaria, Germany, impelled by religiousconvictions, and landed inPhiladelphia. Johannes and wife, KatrinaMoyer,settled in Oley, PA,where he died ca. 1753. Also: "The recordstates that Johannes had sixchildren by his first wife, KatarinaMoyer. The last child being born in1724. He married a second wife,Maria Elizabeth, in 1731, and their firstchild was born in 1732. Inbetween these two dates 1724-1732 is the onlyplace where my ancestor,PHILIP, fits. He was born in 1730, but there isno record that provesthat this is so. However, all research indicatesthat he is adescendent of thePA Keims. There is also a record by LeahKime Pratz -Annals of the Oley Valley. It is a very interesting recordof Johannesand his family." In Keim and Allied Families in America andEurope, anentry from William Miles Kime (Keim) of Pleasant Lodge,Alamance Co.,N.C., dated September 1900 Vol. 1,2, Reading, PA -Harrisburg, PA. No.22.; there is an article by Isaac DeTurk (Doc. Hist.,N.Y.,O'Callaghan, Vol. III, P.551) as follows: Another entry dated April29,1710: A traditionfrom the ancients of the family says thatJohannesKeim, Founder, married Bertha DeTurck. The marriage took place1706 inGermany before his return to America in 1707. The DeTurcks,ofFrankenthal, and the Keims of Landau, near Speyer, lived inlocalitiesnot far distant." The first wife of Johannes Keim is BerthaDeTurck. Itis mentioned in the Keim & Allied Families by DeB Randolphin theirSeptember 1900 issue #22. Another source written on the familyis thebook by VanCleave. He introduces yet another variation on thename ofJohannes's first wife; Katarine DeTurck (seems to be acombination ofBertha DeTurk and Katarina Moyer) as the wife ofJohannes Keim, theImmigrant. An article about the KEIM familypublished in the ReadingEagle on March 12, 1972 shows the first wifeas Bertha DeTurck, marriedin 1706. This article also states thatJohannes married Marie Elizabethin 1733. It has also been related tothe researcher that descepency indates of the marriage (Jan 1, 1731 orMarch 25, 1731) could be because ofa changeover from the Gregoriancalendar.

Speyer lies right along theRhine River and Landau lies alittle southwest of Speyer. - : Johannes was ruined by the French invasion of the Palatinateduring1688-1697. It is believed he had a carpentry business. HevisitedPennsylvania in America on a prospecting tour in 1698 duringthe lullthat followed the peace of Ryswick (1697). He then returned toGermanyabout 1701 where he married 1) Bertha DeTurck probably the 15thofSeptember, 1706 in Landau Speyer, Bavaria, Germany. (Some questionif sheis his wife. They say his first wife was Katarina.) They weremarried 14days before the Festival of St. Michael. She was born inabout 1686 inFrankenthal, Germany which lies north of Speyer in theRhine Valley. - : Johannes and Bertha Keim immigrated to Pennsylvania about 1707.Johanneswas in Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1707. They moved into thewildernesson Manatawny Creek in Oley Township, Philadelphia Countywhich is nowPleasantville, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1708.According tofamily tradition, Johannes found this spot on his earlierprospectingtrip. He followed the Schuylkill River and Manatawny Creekuntil he cameto a large grove of black walnut trees near a gushingspring rising fromthe ground. In German tradition, walnut trees were asign of fertileland. Here they built a log cabin, cleared some landand planted theirfirst seeds. His first tract of land was warranted in1720. - : The Keim family was probably originally French Huguenot but, inAmericaJohannes became a follower of Pastorius, the Quaker. Johannesand Berthahad six children before Bertha died in about 1726. She maybe buried onthe Gheer farm in Oley, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA. - : The earliest autograph manuscript relating to the family of BerksCounty,Pennsylvania, USA Keim in America so far as known consists oftwomuch-faded, time-worn and broken sheets of paper in German scriptby thehand of Johann (Hans) Keim, the founder of the name. Althoughexceedinglybrief, it is in the nature of an autobiographic record.When it waswritten is not known, but it was about 1732, as it ends atthat year. Itwas evidently drawn up by the patriarchal author forhisfourth child andthird son, Johannes Nicholas Keim. From the latterit passed into thehands of his son John. It is now held by the familyof the late DanielMay Keim, of Bristol, Pa. who obtained it from hisbrother, Hon. GeorgeM.

Later Jacob�s son, John Keim made anaddition to thehome. It is located on Boyer Road near the intersectionof Boyer Road andLobachsville Road in Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA.150 acres of oldgrowth black walnut trees were cut into timber fromthe Jacob Keimplantation property in 1913 after the death of ElizabethKeim in 1911 andthe sale of the property in 1912. Some of the treeswere said to be 4 to5 feet across and 100 feet tall. Elizabeth was thelast Keim to own theJacob Keim plantation. George Keim, another son ofJohannes, received 200acres of the original Johannes Keim plantationin Oley Township, BerksCounty, Pennsylvania, USA in a quit claim deeddated the 29th of April,1762 that listed the names of ten of Johannes�children. George Keim alsoobtained acreage from the Penn family bypatent the 22nd of June, 1807.The oldest building now on his propertywas erected by a George Keim in1835. It is located near Pikesville onOysterdale Road just west of theLobacheville Road intersection inBerks County, Pennsylvania, USA. - : (It is thought by some that the Keim family was closely related totheBertolets, DeTurcks and Levans families before their arrival inAmerica.Others question the research and authenticity of the artifactslinkingJohannes to Ludwig Keim.) - : Sources: All information on Johannes Hans Keim and his descendants,unlessotherwise noted, is from: A chronological study by The Keim andAlliedFamilies in America and Europe, Vol. 1, 2 Reading, PA.

Spring1989. Most people basetheir research on "The Keim & Allied Families inAmerica & Europe" amonthly publication begun in Dec. 1898 and editedby DeBennville RandolphKeim. This publication presents the two pagehand written listing ofJohannes�marriages and first seven children�sbirths and the carvedchest as evidence of the Keim lineage. Kochquestions the authenticity ofthese artifacts and says: "The chest/boxis housed at the DAR Museum inWashington, D.C. The educated guess ofthe museum's curator is that itwas made no earlier than 1750 and thatthe legend (with the date 1662)painted on it was not done by themaker. At this time, I am not preparedto accept any ancestors beforeJohannes, the Oley immigrant.

In the Historical and BiographicalAnnals of Berks County byMorton L. Montgomery, published in 1909 onpages 1647 and 1648 is anaccount of the Keim family. It says that thefamily has a paper writtenby the ancestor Johannes Keim. This hasdescended thru the Nicholas Keimline.

PhilipColumbus Croll - : The LEVANs of Berks were members of the Huguenots. That scholarlystudentand fellow-descendant of this stock, Rev Dr. A. STAPLETON, inhistreatise on "The Huguenot Element in the Settlement of BerksCounty",contends that the KEIMS, BERTOLETS, DeTURCKs, and LEVANs wereall closelyrelated by ties of kinship before they ever came toAmerica. He says: "Acareful study of the settlement of Berks Countyconvinces us of the factthat there were well-defined and preconcertedmovements of Huguenots, aswell as German elements, with a view tocontiguous settlement. This isshown in their connections prior toemigration, and the fact of theirsettling in close proximity when theycame, even though they did not comein a body". - : "Probably the first member of what was the most importantHuguenotsettlement in Berks County was Johannes KEIM, from thevicinity of Spier,in Rhenish Bavaria. Although he bore an honoredGerman name, yet we knowfrom the researches of several of hisdescendants that he was connectedwith the de HARCOURT family, one ofthe most distinguished of France.Richard, Count de HAR- COURT, one ofthe knights of William the Conqueror(1066 A.D.), has given to Englandsome of its greateststatesmen". - : THE PIONEER KEIM. "French history abounds with references totheachievements of many who bore this name. Soon after the revocationof theedict of Nantes, they retired to places of security. We willmeet one ofthese families presently, andquite likely the one withwhich KEIM wasconnected. The pioneer, Johannes KEIM, came to the OleyValley in 1698,squatted on a tract of land below (above i.e. n.e. of)Friedensburg, andreturned to Europe. In 1706 he married, according tofamily tradition, ade TURCK, and the following year returned toAmerica and locatedpermanently on this land, for which he received awarrant in 1720. He was the ancestorof a great and honored posterity". - : "Before proceeding let us glance for a moment at the map of Bavaria.Notfar from the city of Spier, the home of the KEIMS, will be seenLindau,from whence Rev Joshua KOCHERTHAL led the first colony ofPalatinates toLondon, and thence to New York, and from whenceeventually nearly allcame to Pennsylvania. You will keep this initialcolony in mind. Not farfrom Spier was Frankenthal, where the DeTURCKslocated when they fledfrom France at the Revocation (1685). Anothertown within easy reach wasMinnefelten, where the BERTOLETs located fora while. Muehlhaften, asmall town, is situated near Lindau. Let it beborne in mind that theseplaces were all within easy communication. AtMuehlhaften, was the homeof Jean de HARCOURT, of the ancient Frenchfamily of that name. That theKEIMs were connected with this familyadmits of no doubt, as thegrandfather of the Oley immigrant was Ludwigde HARCOURT KEIM, and on thelid of a box brought over by theimmigrantand still preserved by hisdescendants, is the portrait of apair bearing this inscription: LudwigHARCOURT KEIM, Bertha KEIM,Landgraff Von Alsace A.D., 1662". - : "From this it would seem that the KEIMs were of the nobility. Amongthechildren of Jean de HARCOURT were at least two, and perhapsthreedaughters who as mothers gave to posterity thousands of BerksCounty'sbest citizens. The French armieshaving overrun and ravaged theentirevalley of the Rhine, the inhabitants were driven into terriblestraits.Spier, Manheim, Heidelberg and many other places were laid inashes, andthe French who had found a refuge there were in greaterdistress thanever before". - : AIDED BY QUEEN ANNE. "A family of patrician rank named deBERTHOLET,having fled from France to Switzerland, some of the membersand perhapsthe entire family later removed to Minnefelten, where a sonnamed Jean(John) married Susanna de HARCOURT, daughter of Jean,previously noticed,in 1710. He located on a farm belonging to thebailiwick of Seltz, inAlsace, about 30 miles from Strasburg. At thistime the inhabitants ofthis region were fleeing by thousands toLondon; their great leader was,as said, Rev (Joshua) KOCHERTHAL, whoin 1706 went to England andinterested the authorities in the woefulcondition of his country". - : "Receiving assurances of support from high authorities, he set outin1708 for London with some 21 families, composed of 54 persons.Theyreached their destination after great hardships, and utterlydestitute.Good Queen Anne was touched by the sad story of theirsufferings and gavethem an allowance of a shilling each per day. Thecolonists were suppliedwith tools and other necessaries, and in April,in company with Gov.LOVELACE, they were sent to New York. In thisconvoy we are deeplyinterested, as about half of them were FrenchHuguenots, and almost theentire company eventually came to Lancasterand Berks Counties". In thislist we see the name of Maria WEMAR(WEIMAR), widow, and her daughter,Catharine, aged two years. She was adaughter of Jean de HARCOURT (deHEROKEN), of Muehlhaften, alreadyreferred to. Then we find the names ofIsaac DETURCK, who was than abachelor well along in years. - : THREE SETTLERS. We have seen in our last chapter that soon aftertheirarrival in New York DETURCK married the widow WEIMAR and later(1712)moved to Oley, and that here, when grown to womanhood, ElizabethWEIMAR,stepdaughter of Isaac DETURCK married Abraham LEVAN. So here wehave atlast three Huguenot settlers, Isaac DETURCK, Jean BERTOLET(described in a previous chapter) and Abraham LEVAN, settling nearJohannis KEIM, anearlier immigrant, whose wife, tradition has it, wasa sister of Mrs.Isaac DETURCK, all closely connected with the deHARCOURTS.--------------------------------------------------------------------Newspaper article, Keim�s Walnut Trees, by Wayne E.

NICHOLAS KEIM and his wife,BARBARA(SCHNEIDER) KEIM, are there along with a some of their progeny.Two ofthe largest gravestones are of JOHANNES and KATARINA SCHNEIDER,theimmigrant parents of the Oley valley Schneider progeny, andBarbara'sparents. Bill had mentioned that it was raining the day hewas there andthe grave he found said Johannes and then he thought thelast name mightbe Keim. It was a short name and the last two lettersappeared to be"im". We found a grave stone matching that description.It was not one ofthe largest stones. It was very eroded and difficultto read. However twodates that did appear quite legible were 1767 and1823. This grave can'tbe that of JOHANNES KEIM the immigrant. Otherlast names that are foundin this fairly large, walled grave yardinclude GHEER, MESSERSMITH, andLEVAN. One of thegraves was a JOHANNESLEVAN b. 1798, d. 1882.

Johannes and wife, Katrina Moyer, settled inOley, PA,where he died ca. 1753. - : Also: "The record states that Johannes had six children by hisfirstwife, Katarina Moyer.

In between these two dates 1724-1732 is the onlyplace where myancestor, PHILIP, fits. He was born in 1730, but thereis no record thatproves that this is so.

==The Lindenmuth List Free-Space Page== This is a collection point for Wikitree profiles that represent the names on the [https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Zeh-1-1 Lindenmuth's Map] of Palatines who were early settlers of the Tulpehocken Creek Valley in Pennsylvania.The original list was published in the Pennsylvania German, Vol 4, Lebanon, Pennsylvania, pp. 190-192 (1904). It was re-published in the Blue Book of Schuylkill County, by Ella Zerbey Elliot. Press of Pottsville, 1916, pp 36-37. The "Lindenmuth Map" was created ca 1904 purporting to be a list of the first Tulpehocken land owners in 1723. Since its publication in Morton L. Montgomery's Biographical and Historical Annals of Berks Co, PA (pub. 1909) and in the PA German Magazine-Oct 1904, others have noted that the 1723 date is incorrect and that it should refer to settlers '''after''' the year 1728. Many on the map weren't even in PA until 1733. The map link above points to a copy of the map on Wikitree, onto which the original names on the map have been transcribed (and more fully identified) by Wikitree genealogist [[Stevens-2498| Sara Patton]]. Many--but not all--of these pioneers migrated from Schoharie New York between 1723 and 1733. Some of names on the list immigrated via Philadelphia (~1725-1733). The original published list has a date of 1723; however some of the names on the list have been documented from ships' records to only have arrived later. I don't think anybody on the list arrived after 1735, so I have set the profile range for people arriving between 1723 and 1735. I have added the name and profiles of wives, if known. Many of their family names are the same as other settlers on the list, emphasizing the many inter-relationships among the early Tulpehocken settlers. If additional profiles are found/created and have sources, please connect their profiles to their names. * [[Anspach-13| Anspach, Balthasar]] m [[Rieth-17| Anna Maria Bern Rieth]] * [[Anspach-412| Anspach, Leonard]] m [[Zeller-150| Maria Catherine Zeller]].

This is a collection point of Wikitree profiles for people who appear on any of the 4 lists of early Tulpehocken settlers. The various lists themselves were compiled 2003 by Rosanne Troy Chesakis, building on the work of earlier Palatine researchers.Die Shilgrut, Vol XXXV, No. 1, November 2003, pp. 23-29 I have alphabetized the names, which were not alphabetized on the originals. Because of the variety of spellings on the various documents, I have used the spelling used in the Wikitree profile, if it exists (and noted the actual spellings used in the documents). There is considerable overlap among the lists. If the spouse is known, I have listed them after the name. == 1724 Petition == '''List #1: 1724 Petition''' This was presented to Pennsylvania Provincial Council in Feb 1724/5The Hub of the Tulpehocken, by Earl W Ibach. Lebanon, Pennsylvania: (1975) p. 11. The text of the petition reads as follows: ''To His Excellency, Lieut. Governor, and his Executive Council, of the Province of Pennsylvania: The petition of us, the subscribers, being thirty-three families in number, at present inhabiting Tulpahaca creek humbly showeth That, your petitioners, being natives of Germany, about 15 years ago, were by the great goodness of Queen Anne, relieved from the hardships, which they then suffered in Europe, and were transported into the colony of New York, where they settled. But their families increasing, and being in that government, confined to the scanty allowance of ten acres of land to each family, whereon they could not well subsist, your petitioners, being informed of the kind reception which their countrymen usually met with, in the Province of Pennsylvania, and hoping they might, with what substance they had, acquire larger settlements in that Province, did last year, in the Spring of 1723, leave their settlements, in New York government, and came with their families into this Province; where, upon their arrival, they applied themselves to His Excellency, the Governor, who of his great goodness, permitted them to inhabit, upon Tulpahaca creek, being the farthest inhabited part of the Province northwest from Philadelphia on condition that they should make full satisfaction to the proprietor, or his agents, for such lands as should be allotted to them when they were ready to receive the same. And now your petitioners, understanding that some gentlemen, agents of the proprietors, have ample powers to dispose of lands in this Province, and we, your petitioners, being willing and ready to purchase, do humbly beseech your Excellency and Council, to recommend us to the favorable usage of the proprietor's agent, that upon paying the usual prices for lands at such a distance from Philadelphia, we may have sufficient rights and titles made to us for such lands as we shall have occasion to buy, that our children may have some settlement to depend on hereafter; and that by your authority we may be freed from the demands of the Indians, of that part of the country, who pretend a right thereto. And we humbly beg leave to inform your Excellency and Council, that there are fifty families more, who, if they may be admitted upon the same conditions, are desirous to come and settle with us. We hope for your favorable answer to this, our humble re- quest; and as in duty bound, shall ever pray, etc.''[https://archive.org/details/bluebookofschuyl00ellio/page/n14/mode/1up The Blue book of Schuylkill County], by Mrs Ella Zerbey Ellliot.

== Background == In an attempt to sort out conflicting and contentious issues surrounding the Palatine families Zeller and Batdorf, I've created a detailed chronological collation of their entries from the '''Journal Section''' of Governor Hunter's subsistence lists. This shows the relationships among these 3 households during 1710-1712. '''UPDATE: OCT 2023:''' I have updated this freespace page by adding a similar independent analysis of the Hunter Lists published in 2012 by the genealogist John Vallentine, in his last version of his well-regarded Zeller family book, "The Tulpehocken Zellers" [available as a .pdf at FamilySearch]. An inspection of the primary sources used by Vallentine and those used by Rohrbach and Jones for their full (2002) translations of the Hunter Lists reveals that '''the primary data originate from the same microfilm images of the originals stored in London. Thus, in theory, the two compilations should be identical. And indeed, with a few exceptions noted below, the two compilations are identical and independent transcriptions of the primary data.''' Vallentine transcribed and tabulated all of the Hunter List entries for the two Zellers and for Anna Battorfin, and he did this for BOTH the Journal version and the Ledger version, as shown on pages 13-14 of his 2012 mongraph. The independent analysis of the Hunter Lists below strongly suggests that when Vallentine tabulated his data, he mistakenly "swapped" the Journal column and the Ledger column. The data Vallentine calls "Ledger" originates from the Journal section--and the one he calls "Journal" originates from the Ledger section. This transposition of the two columns does not affect the conclusion that the Hunter Lists related to the Zellers and Anna Battorfin, especially the important caveat that '''the early entries show large variations in household size, and these variations afford themselves to different interpretations of the data.''' Some background is useful for interpreting the lists. Here is how Lewis Bunker Rohrbach, CG describes the listsEven More Palatine Families (2002), a 3-volume work, authored by Lewis Bunker Rohrbach Rohrbach and Henry Z. Jones, (p. 1780-1782) ''The lists exists in two variations. The first or '''Journal Section''' contains a complete list of all the subsistence payments 1710-1713, arranged chronologically rather than alphabetically, on pages numbered consecutively from 1 through 156. The entries list all payments made, arranged by date. They include the person the payments were made to, the basis of payment, the place the payments were made, and sometimes other information. The basis of payment was the number of days paid and the number of persons "above" age ten (i.e. aged 10 and above) and the number under age 10 in each family. The subsistence payment was set consistently throughtout the period at 6 pence sterling per day for those ten and above, and 4 pence for those under ten. The '''Journal Section''' also contains a reference to the page number in the '''Ledger Section''' which contains the same payments.'' ''Jones points out that the juxtaposition of names in the '''Journal Section''' often hints at common origins and family relationships, and that for that reason he has used the Journal Section for most of his research. The Journal Section has never been published before, in part or in whole [written in 2002]. Because of the additional data contained in it, it is the Journal Section of the Hunter Lists which has been transcribed here verbatim by Marlene Groves, CG.'' ''The second or '''Ledger Section''' was drawn from the Journal Section; probably at almost the same time. The Ledger Section consists of a rearrangement of payments from the '''Journal Section''' into family sections arranged alphabetically, which sections were numbered consecutively from 1 through 847. The listings include references to the page numbers of the Journal Section from which the data were drawn. Hank Jones mentions that he used the Ledger Section primarily for the family numbers, which are cited here and elsewhere in his monumental works as "Hunter Lists #217", etc. Portions of the '''Ledger Section''', primarily the first and last entry for each family, were published some time ago by Lou D. MacWethy.'' [i.e., "The Book of Names"]. Based on what Rohrbach writes above, it would seem that the '''Journal Section''' was written first and that the '''Ledger Section''' was drawn from it. However, Rohrbach goes on to describe a specific entry in the lists of one Peter Helmer (Hunter Lists #294) that seems to refute this assumption. Rohrbach concludes: ''Quite likely, the Journal Section and the Ledger Section were written at almost the same time. The value of the Hunter LIsts to both genealogist and historians of colonial New York is enormous. The lists clearly show the changes in family size and age distribution as time passes during the period of the payments...An added bonus is that many widows who remarried during the period 1710-1713 are identified by maiden name and/or the name of their deceased husband...Individual family researchers working with the minute data in the Hunter Lists should be able to discover or confirm many details on their families. Hank Jones and I would love to hear of the results of such detailed and documented work you do.'' === Independent Compilations Published by John Vallentine === In 2012, the genealogist''' John F. Vallentine''' first compiled and published a specific listing of Hunter Lists entries for the two male Zellers and Anna Battorfin.Vallentine cites the following (1980) source for his transcriptions and compilations of Zellers on the Hunter Lists: Dr. Graeff Manuscripts, Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City (Film 13683, parts 1-30 records selected by Dr Graeff at the Public Records Office, London, England. From The Palatine Immigrant, Vol. V, No. 4, Spring, 1980, p. 176The original images of the journals transcribed and published in 2002 by Jones & Rohrbach by are stored in the Public Records Office, CO 5: 1230 & 123. Vallentine's compilations were listed BOTH by their Journal Section entry '''and''' by their Ledger Section entries, published side-by-side. '''''In a number of instances discussed below, the household sizes for the same dated entry differ between the Journal and Ledger entries. This observation made by Vallentine is yet another reason why any particular interpretation of the Zeller and Batdorf households is often equivocal.''''' Indeed, Rohrbach concluded his analysis of the Lists by writing the following, "a great deal of data lies in the spefic entries, often with an equal amount of confusion." Listed directly below is a compilation of the ambiguities in the Hunter Lists, curated from two independent transcriptions of the same primary data set. The vast majority of the ambiguities originate in the primary data. However, '''for the 25 Mar 1711 date, I identified one small difference between what was transcribed by Vallentine versus Jones & Rohrbach.''' === List of Ambiguities between two compilations from the Primary Data === Vallentine's compilation has swapped column headings. The column he labels as "Journal" is data from the Ledger section--and the column he labels as "Ledger" is data from the Journal section. * 30 Jun 1710: Heinrich Zeller has 2 people over 10 in his household on the Ledger Entry, but 3 people on the Journal Entry. Anna Battorffin's household on this date shows (3,0) * 4 Jul 1710: Heinrich Zeller does not have a Journal Entry but he does have a Ledger Entry showing a household of (1,4). Similarly, Anna Battorffin does not have a Journal Entry, but does have a Ledger entry showing a household of (5,0). ''' If the July 4 entries are correct, the combined households of Heinrich and Anna Battorffin increased from 5 people to 10 people in only 5 days'''. * 25 Mar 1711: Vallentine's compilation shows a household of (2,3)--while '''the transcription published by Jones and Rohrbach (2002) shows a household of (3,3)''' This discrepancy is found on both Journal and Ledger entries, * 24 Jun 1711: this is the date of the first appearance of the name "Johann George" Zeller on the Journal entries of the Hunter Lists, whereby a "Johann George Zeller's son" is listed as living in the same household as Anna Battorfin (5,0). This is confusing because, on that same date, a new household was created on the Hunter Lists--and it was called "Anna Battorffin & John Zeller" (4,0). '''Vallentine notes that when this entry--along with the other two mentions of "George" in later entries in the Journal--always appears as "Johannes" on the Ledger Entries. This date's entries provide support to the hypothesis that the father of Johannes Zeller was named Johann George Zeller.''' There are ambiguities. Was Anna Battorffin's household separate--or did she have a duplicate entry for that date? And if she was duplicated, why did the size of her household change from 5 to 4? Another factor to consider is that this entry was made almost one full year after the first entries for Johann Heinrich Zeller and Anna Battorfin. The rapid changes in household size might have occurred as more ships arrived over the summer, carrying other family members. * 29 Sept 1711. On this date the Journal entry reads, '''Johann George Zeller & An: Battorffin''' are listed with 5 adults over 10. According to Vallentine, the same Ledger entry is listed under "Johannes Zeller." This entry is later transferred to page 211 of the Ledger Section. This is interesting because in the prior entry, a similar entry was placed in in the Anna Battorfin household.--but now it is "reassigned" to Johannes Zeller. NOTE: for the same date, we find a separate entry for '''Anna Battorffin''', living with 3 over 10. This entry is transferred to page 5 of the ledger section (which was the original ledger entry for the widow Battorfin for the early 1710 entries). * 24 Dec 1711: entries for the family of Johannes Zeller appear to have been duplicated--i.e., there are two sets of similar but not identical sets of data. On one duplicate, the household is called "George Zeller and Anna Battorffin (4,0) on the Journal Entry but becomes Johannes Zeller on the Ledger Entry. On the other duplicate, the entry is "Johannes Zeller" throughout. This is also the last chronological entry that features a possible cohabitation between Anna Battorffin's household and that of Johannes Zeller. From this point on, the household of Anna Battorffin appears to be separate from that of Johannes Zeller. From this point forward, when Anna Battorffin appears on the lists independently, her household size varies between (4,0) and (1,0) * The household of Anna Battorfin lacks 4 Journal Entries--but she lacks only 2 Ledger Entries. These omissions seem to have no rhyme or reason relative to the household of Johannes Zeller. == Chronological Journal Entries using the Rohrbach & Jones 2002 Transcription == With the above background and caveats in mind, here is an independent chronological listing of the two Zellers (who were probably brothers, but also could have been uncles or cousins) and Anna Battorfin, who was a widow of Peter Batdorf and whose entries are inter-mingled with the household(s) of the Zellers. This compilation relies on the Ledger section of the full Hunter Lists published by Jones and Rohrbach in 2002 The page numbers on the ledger list are relevant because, throughout the list, they correspond to different family groups that received payments. Thus: * Entries transferred to '''p. 210''' refer to the "household" of [[Zeller-2| Johann Henrich Zeller]] (Hunter List #839). The first entry date is 30 Jun 1710 * Entries transferred to '''p. 4 or 5''' refer to the "household" of [[Anspach-99|Anna Battorfin]] (Hunter Lists #18), probable widow of Peter Batdorf, who died en route to America. The first entry date is 30 Jun 1710. NOTE Anna is also represented by an additional profile on Wikitree, that is [[Zeller-838| Anna Catharina Batdorf]] * Entries transferred to '''p. 211''' refer to what is apparently a joint "household" (Hunter lists # 840), consisting of [[Zeller-40| Johannes Zeller]] AND Anna Battorfin. The first entry date for this household occurs ''one full year'' after the two above, that is, 24 Jun 1711. '''Other points to consider:''' The first name of the male head-of-household connected to p. 211 differs according to the entry. In chronological order, he is named as: "Johann George Zellers son," "John Zeller," "Johann George Zeller,"George Zeller," and "Johannes Zeller." In later Schoharie NY records, he is almost always named as Johannes Zeller. The changing forenames create confusion and are open to interpretation. For example, based on the single entry of 24 Jun 1711, the name of the father presumably of both Zellers would be Johann George. It is also possible that the English-speaking people who wrote the Lists did not easily distinguish between the German" Johann Georg" and "Johannes:" in both cases they might be listed as "John." All-in-all, the least confusing names for the sons are "Johann Heinrich" and "Johannes." The name "Johann George" Zeller might best be reserved as the possible name of their father. A Wikitree profile for [[Zeller-837| Johann George Zeller (~1616-~1712)]] exists that represents him, but sources from German records are required to prove/disprove that he is indeed the father. For the sons, Wikitree currently has one profile for [[Zeller-2| Johnann Heinrich]], and one profile for his brother: [[Zeller-40| Johannes Zeller]]. On some secondary genealogies for Johannes Zeller, he is mis-named as "Johannes George" Zeller. This is probably a conflation of the name of the son Johannes Zeller and his probable father, Johann George Zeller. On Wikitree, all mentions of "Johannes George" Zeller have been edited to simply say Johannes Zeller. 1 Jul 1710: ''Johann Henrich Zeller''' listed on the journal section of the Hunter Lists with '''2 persons over 10''.

Extracted from Appendix I of HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JACOB GOCHENOUR, Robert Lee Evans [3512 North Third Street; Arlington, VA 22201], 1977, Carr Publishing Company, Inc., Boyce, VA 22620. : : EUROPEAN AND PENNSYLVANIA GOCHENOURS : : The Gochenour family is of Swiss ancestry. On the shores beautiful Lake Zurich is a small village named Gruningen an here was the ancestralhome of the Gochenours. : : It is recorded in the "Ausbund" which is the original hymn book of the Mennonites, published in 1751, that one Jacob Gochnauer of Gruningen suffered persecution in 1654 because he adopted the faith of his choice, that is held to the tenets of- the Mennonite Church. He was imprisoned in a castle dungeon and his family was turned out in the fields. Mr. David T. Gochenour of Grinnell, Iowa, has one of these books written in the German language with "Jacob Gochenour" hand written on the fl - leaf. It belonged to our first Virginia Gochenour ancestor, Jacob Gochenour. : : We next find evidence of the Gochenours living in the German Palatinate. This is an area along the Rhine River and in the Seventeenth century was divided into many small principalities. : The rulers of these provinces at various times allowed persecuted religious sects to live in their dominions subject to various discriminations. : : In "The Mennonite Quarterly Review", Vol. 14, (1940), pat{ 15, is published a list of Mennonites permitted to live at Churpfalz Landen in 1685, and among the list is the name of "Heinrich Gochnaur" saying he had eight children. These Mennonites we permitted to live in this province on paying a fine to the ruler. The lists were made to show who hadpaid the fine. : : Another list published in the Quarterly shows that the following Gochenours were living in this vicinity. Jacob Gochnauer and Hans Gochnauer. Later lists for 1738 and 1740 omit the names of Jacob and Hans Gochnauer. Possibly this Jacob Gochenour was one of the two emigrant JacobGochenours who came to America, landing at Philadelphia, Penn., one on the ship "Samuel" from Rotterdam, Holland arriving August 11, 1732,and the other in the ship "Harle" also from Rotterdam arriving Sept. : 1, 1736. : : Large numbers of the inhabitants of the Palatinate came to America inthis period. Often the rulers of the several German states revoked their consent or license to the religious dissenters mostly Mennonites, and began to persecute them. Also a series wars devastated the area causing the unhappy people to leave e country and come to America. : : The large number of German-Swiss persons emigrating to Pennsylvania aroused fears in the Governor and Council of that state that these persons would make Pennsylvania a German state. : Consequently laws were passed requiring that the captain f each ship make a list of aliens (persons other than Englishmen) that he was bringing to America, that each person sign an oath acknowledging themselves to be subjects of the King of gland, and that the King was rightfully head of the English : : These lists are of interest to us because they show that two Jacob Gochenours arrived in philadelphia in different years, 1732 and 1736. Jacob Gochnauer, Christian Gochnauer and Kathrina Gochnourin (the "in" on the end of a German name ~denotes a feminine person) appear as passengers on the ship "Samuels", Hugh Percy, Commander, which landed at Philadelphia on August 11, 1732. Their ages are given as 20, 17, and 18respectively and the ship sailed from Rotterdam, Holland. Another Jacob Kochenauer (obviously a variant of Gochenour) arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Harle" Ralph Harle, master, from Rotterdam, Holland, on Sept. 1, 1736. : : It is not presently known which or if either of these Jacob Gochenours are our ancestor who settled in Shenandoah County before June 15, 1754. Many persons of the name Gochenour live in Pennsylvania today. Some effort has been made attempting to establish the relationship between these Pennsylvania Gochenours and our Virginia Gochenours, but as yet all efforts have been in vain. It would appear probably that one ofthe above Jacob Gochenours was our ancestor. : : ______________________________________________________ : : Extracted from Chapter I of HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JACOB GOCHENOUR, Robert Lee Evans [3512 North Third Street; Arlington, VA 22201],1977, Carr Publishing Company, Inc., Boyce, VA 22620. Appendix II hasnotes for another Gochenour family who settled near St. Luke, VA, theHenry Gochenour family. : : FIRST GENERATION : : JACOB GOCHENOUR (#233), our ancestor in the Shenandoah Valley, born ____, died in Nov. 1771, obtained a land grant of 400 acres four miles northwest of Woodstock, Virginia in what is now the community of Fairview, from Lord Fairfax on June 15, 1754. It was customary for a personto find some vacant land, live on it, have a survey made, and securea deed. We may assume that prior to Nov. 2, 1750 when the land surveywas made for Jacob Gochenour that he had settled on his land. : : We do not know his wife's family name but Jacob's will gives her first name as Mary. They were married prior to 1743 when their first child was born. : : Children : : 1. Barbara Gochenour (#236), b. March 1, 1743 : 2. Elizabeth Gochenour (#237), b. July 21, 1745 : 3. Jacob Gochenour (#238), b. Sept. 10, 1747 : 4. Joseph Gochenour (#239), b. July 3, 1752 : 5. John (Hannis) Gochenour (#240), b. March 13, 1758 : 6. Anna (Annal) Gochenour (#241), b. June 3, 1763 : 7. Abraham Gochenour (#235), b. : : The names and dates of birth are taken from pages of a Bible written in German in the possession of David T. Gochenour of Grinnell, Iowa. : : The names "Hannis" and "Annal" are unfamiliar to us but they are Johnand Anna as will be described later. The Bible record fails to list the son Abraham, probably because he was born after the others were written and we do not know his date of birth. He is recited in his father's will made in 1771 and was born before that date. : : Jacob Gochenour became the owner of a large farm of 550 acres by two land grants, one of 400 acres on June 15, 1754 (Northern Neck Book H, page 447, Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA) and one of 150 acres on Sept. 3, 1766 (Northern Neck Book N, page 175) adjoining the first.This land was located four miles northwest of Woodstock, VA, around present Fairview and extended for over a mile along the Back Road. After his death, in accordance with his will, the land was divided among three of his sons. (See map in HISTORY....) : : In the Library of Congress at Washington, DC, there is a collection of manuscripts known as the "Washington Papers." Among these is a listof voters at an election held the 24th day of July 1758. Washington ran for a seat in the House of Burgess from Frederick County, VA, and was elected. Jacob Gochenour (Cochener), our ancestor, voted for Washington. : : An election in Colonial Virginia was quite different from today's elections., There was only one polling or voting place for each county and .this was at the Courthouse. All voters appeared before the Sheriffwho had a clerk take down the Voter's name and for whom he was voting. Generally two persons were elected to represent the county. The candidates were seated nearby, usually at the opposite ends of a table with the Sheriff in the middle. The voter would walk to the side of the table opposite the Sheriff and announce publicly for whom he was voting. The candidates for whom he voted would then rise and express their thanks for his vote. The list of voters was in the order of their votes. : : Washington was not at this election. He was on military duty inspecting frontier forts. His friend, Colonel Wood, sat for him and thanked the voters. Washington made an alphabetical list and it appears in the Washington papers in his hand writing. He did it apparently to more readily remember the names of the voters and to recall them afterwards when he met them. All successful politicians must make an effort to remember people's names and Washington was no exception. : : These elections were boisterous affairs. The winners were expected totreat the voters with plenty of liquor. The historian Douglas S. Freeman in his Biography of George Washington says that Washington paid for a quart and half of liquor for each person that voted. Washington wrote: "I hope no exception was taken to any that voted against me but that all were alike treated and all had enough." : : Jacob Gochenour was a Mennonite as evidenced by the following petition which he and Jacob Strickler presented to the House of Burgess in 1769 (Journals of the House of Burgess of Virginia, 1766-1769, page 256) of the proceedings of Tuesday, Nov. 14, 1769: : : "A petition of Jacob Stricktor and Jacob Coughenour on Behalf : of themselves and their Protestant Brethren of the Sect : called Mennonists was presented to the House and read setting : forth that the Petitioners have retired to this Colony, in : the hopes of enjoying the free Exercise of their Religion and : are willing to contribute a proportionable part of their : Estates whenever the Exigencies of Government may require it, : and desirous in every other respect as far as they are able, : to promote the Public Good; but that they are forbidden by : the Dictates of Conscience to bear Arms; and therefor praying : that they may be exempt from the Penalties they are subject : to for declining military Duty. Ordered that the Petition be : referred to the Committee for Religion, and that they do : examine the Matter thereof, and report the same, with their : Opinion thereon to the House." : : The Committee reported favorably on the petition and the Committee ofPropositions and Grievances were instructed to bring in a bill to that effect, but the bill did not become law for other bills were presented, after Jacob Gochenour had died, to the same effect. : : From this we see that Jacob Gochenour was a leader in early Mennoniteactivity in Virginia. He was probably a minister of the denomination since at this period they worshipped in each other's houses and had nofull time ministers. Moreover his son Jacob Gochenour married Elizabeth Rhodes who was the daughter of a Mennonite preacher, John Rhodes. : : It appears that exemption from military duty could be obtained by providing a substitute, the expense to be borne by an equitable assessment of the whole society (Mennonites or Quakers), Hening's Statutes, Vol. 9, page 345. No Gochenour appears in the Virginia Revolutionary soldier lists. : : Another petition dated Dec. 10, 1785 to the General Assembly of Virginia, asking that Mennonites be exempted from military duties has seventy-four Mennonite signed names including Jacob Gochenour (#238), Joseph Gochenour (#239), John (Johannes) Gochenour (#240), and Abraham Gochenour (#235). : : It is probable that some of Jacob Gochenours neighbors were Mennonites too. Mennonites were opposed to infant baptism and did not have their children baptized. In the Wood- stock Courthouse is a long list of infant baptisms with their parents running from 1773 to 1782. Jacob Gochenour's name is not there. Nor is Jacob Stover's name whose 425 acres adjoined Jacob's land on the south. : Nor is Peter Bowman's name whose land also adjoined Jacob's on the south. These families were neighbors and almost certainly Mennonites. : : The names of some other neighbors do occur on the lists. : Matthias and Margt. Wilkins child Godfrey Wilkins was baptized Aug. 10, 1773. The Wilkins owned 400 acres on the north- east side of Jacob's land.. Also George and Christina Wisman had their child Magdalene baptized Nov. 4, 1773 and John and Catharine Wisman their child Catharine on May 15, 1774. These families were probably Lutherans since the lists are in Peter Muhlenburg's hand writing. : : No Gochenour name appears in the lists of Shenandoah county Revolutionary militia published in "Revolutionary War Records of Virginia" by Gaius M. Brumbaugh. The lists omit all Mennonites and Quakers and henceall Gochenours were omitted. : : The records of Frederick county at Winchester state that Jacob Gochenour (Gochenauer) and his son Jacob Jr. on April 10, 1769 bought various articles at the sale of Jacob Stover' 5 estate, Will Book 5, page 36. Jacob Stover was a neighbor of Jacob Gochenour and his land adjoined Jacob's on the side toward Woodstock. The Lutheran Church at Fairview lies on part of Jacob Stover's land. : : Jacob Gochenour (Koughnawer) died between Nov. 30, 1771 when he made his will and March 4, 1772 when the will was probated in Winchester, Frederick County, VA, Will Book 4, page 157, states: : : "This is a copy of a will made the 30th day of November; Anno 1771 byJacob Koughnawer as follows, In the name of God Amen, I Jacob Koughnawer of Frederick County in Virginia though weak in Body but sound in Memory blessed be to God make this my Last Will & Testament as follows 1st It is my Will that my son Joseph shall have the old Plantation as far as the Run which shall be the line the Value of it according to myown Estimation : : Line 2380 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: : NOTE "This is a copy of a will made the 30th day of November; shall be - 150 pounds now said Joseph is to pay yearly & every shall be- 150 pounds now said Joseph is to pay yearly & every : : Line 2381 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: : NOTE "This is a copy of a will made the 30th day of November; year to his Mother 2 - 10 till she has received Fifty pounds & year to his Mother 2 - 10 till she has received Fifty pounds & after said Fiftypounds are fully paid or if his Mother my wife should not live then he is Likewise to pay eight pounds yearly to the Rest of the Heirs until it is paid Farther is said Joseph to observe & pay every years to his Mother 15 Bushels of Wheat & 15 of Rye & 50 lbs of Pork & 5 lbs of Wool 2 pairs of Shoes & Keep one Cow & 1 Mare for her & a quarter of Flax and after my Wife dieth if the above mentioned fifty pounds what shall be left of them shall be equally divided amongst the Heirs Likewise is my son Joseph to the Plantation. further is my Will that my son John to have that part of the Plantation on the other side of the Run Valued Sixty pounds another piece of Land containing 150 Acres with the Maddows together above the Water Dam at the School House I give to my son Abraham (Valued Sixty pounds) further it is my will that if Anyof my sons should die in their youth that the Land of his should be valued & equally divided also my son Jacob shall give Right & Deeds to each one of his Brothers when demanded Concerning the Moveales out of them all my Just Debts & Costs are to be paid and out of them shall myWife have a cow & a Mare & her choice. the Rest Likewise is equally to be divided amongst the Heirs further my Wife Mary shall have every year two Rows of Apple Trees in the Orchard to her choice. This is my Last Will Testament & I do also appoint hereto my Wife Mary & Peter Hinstand as Executors. In Witness whereof I have set my hand the day andyear as above mentioned. : : As also before : Witnesses Jacob Koughnawer Ulry Kesler : Benjamin Leaman : : At a Court Continued and held for Frederick County March 4th, 1772 This Last Will & Testament of Jacob Koughnawer in German of which this English Translation was proved to be a True copy was Presented in Courtand the same being proved by the Oaths of Witnesses thereto is Ordered to be Recorded & upon the Motion of Mary Koughnawer & Peter Kinstand the Executors therein named who made oath according to Law Certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate thereof in due form they giving Security whereupon they together with Benjamin Lemen & Wolrick Teller their Securities entered into & acknowledged a Bond in the penalty of Two thousand pounds Conditioned for their due and faithful Administration of the said Estate. : : By the Court J. A. Keith cc." : : The Original will, written in the German language, is still on file in the loose papers at the Courthouse at Winchester and the name is written "Gochnauer" therein. The translator changed F the name to "Koughnawer." Jacob signed the will with a shaky "J.G." in German script indicating he knew how to write but was probably too ill to write a full signature. : : Jacob Gochenour's (Couchanower) estate was appraised on April 21, 1772 by Rundle Bordon, Godfrey Wilken and George Mafies and contained the following: : : 4 horses : 19 cattle : 8 hogs : 26 sheep : 16 geese : a wind mill : a spinning wheel : 2 plows : 2 Bibles : 8 other books including a large bound one valued at 1 pound : and sundry furniture and farm articles : : It is apparent from the above that Jacob Gochenour was a man of meanswith a prosperous farm of 550 acres. : : The inventory lists two Bibles. David T. Gochenour of Grinnel, Iowa,a descendant of Jacob, has pages of one of these Bibles which have the births of Jacob's children written in German thereon as will be given later. He also has a copy of the "Ausbund," a Mennonite hymn book with some Mennonite history in it. The flyleaf has "I Jacob Gochnauer bought this book" written thereon. Jacob was obviously a literate man since he owned ten books. : : It is stated in the will that his son Abraham was to have land above the water dam "at the school house." This is one of the earliest references to a school in Shenandoah county that has been found and is further evidence of the literacy of our ancestor. The area at this time, 1771, still must have been largely wooded and required much manual labor to clear and cultivate, however a school house had been built and the children no doubt attended. : : Under the law in Virginia in 1771 when his father died, the eldest son Jacob inherited all the land that his father owned. : This was true even though the father left a will directing as he did,that the land be divided among his other sons. Jacob (4), the eldest son, respected his father's wishes as set forth in the will and made deeds conveying the portions of his father's land to his brothers, John, Joseph and Abraham. These deeds are recorded at Woodstock in deeds Book E, pages 287, 291, and 293 and set forth their names as Kochinhour. The map shows the : : Line 2470 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: : NOTE Under the law in Virginia in 1771 when his father died, the CONTdivision, Joseph received 247- acres, Abraham two tracts of 98 division, Joseph received 247- acres, Abraham two tracts of 98 and 85 acres,and John two tracts of 52 and 67 acres, Joseph's land was in accord with the will but Abraham and John's deviated from the will. : : The will did not specify any of his father's land to go to Jacob Jr.,the eldest son. This because Jacob had married Elizabeth Roads and hehad acquired 177 acres of land on the Shenandoah River by the marriage which she had bought before her marriage from her brother as related later. : : It is not known today where on the 550 acres which stretched for overa mile on the Back Road around Fairview, VA, and which Jacob Gouchenour, the emigrant owned, the original Gochenour homestead was located. Jacob, the emigrant, in his will (1771) said "my son Joseph shall havethe old plantation as - as the Run." Joseph received this land, see the map. Also P. S. Rhodes, a surveyor who surveyed land for later Gochenours in this section, left a note that "Joseph received 247 acres now owned by S. B. Hepner." Hence the Hepner farm may have been the original Gochenour homestead. However Jacob's will may have used the term"old Plantation" to mean the 400 acres he received in his first grantto distinguish from the 150 acres he received by his second land grant twelve years later. If so, the original home stead could have been anywhere on the first grant of 400 acres. : : Jacob Gochenour's 400 acres of land was surveyed by John Baylis on Oct. 2, 1750 though the land grant was dated June 15, 1754 The survey inthe Virginia State Library at Richmond, VA, has a peculiar mark between Jacob" and "Gochenour" which may mark the location of his home. If so, the original Jacob house was near or at The Hepner place. : : Mr. P S. Rhodes in a letter to Miss Zula Gochenour of Maurertown, VA,written July 26, 1937 said: "I am inclined to believe the old house was first established at the present B.F. : Coffelt place at Fairview, which was the part that passed by the 67 A. tract to John G. from his elder brother Jacob.." This place is flowowned by Ernest Copp and his wife, and since an opinion by Mr. Rhodesis entitled to weight, this place could have been the original Gochenour homestead. : : Another old house that may have been the original Gochenour homesteadis about an eighth of a mile west of the intersection of Back Road and Fairview roads toward the mountain. The original part of the house is thirty-eight feet by twenty-one feet six inches and is formed of huge logs, most of which are fourteen inches high and eight inches thickand some are twenty- eight feet long.The logs were hand hewed by adzeand until recently the cracks were filled with mud and straw mixture (replaced in 1972 with concrete). Fourteen logs high with notched corners, the log house has two floors. The floor joists for the second floor are logs resting in notches in opposite walls. A vertical row of logs divides the upper floor into two rooms. The first floor though now divided by partitions, apparently was originally one large room. : : The floor boards of the upper story are wide and pegged by wooden pins to the floor joists. Also one door post appears to be original and it is pegged by wooden pins in the ends of the ad- jacent wall logs. Small wooden triangle chucks near the ends of the logs between the logshelp to align the logs vertically. : : The log house was probably built before 1782 for the land tax recordsin Richmond have been searched (they start in 1782) and no record of any additional tax for this improvement is found. The house is on landthat Jacob's son Abraham possessed and the house would appear to havebeen built by our emigrant Jacob Gochenour who died in 1771 or 72 or by his son Abraham who married in 1782 and died in 1812. This may havebeen the original Gochenour homestead.

[[Category:Pennsylvania, Immigrants from Holy Roman Empire]] [[Category: Palatine Migration]] ==History of the Palatine Immigration to Pennsylvania== ====written by Daniel Rupp, 1876==== At different periods, various causes and diverse motives induced Germans to abandon their Vaterland. Since 1606, millions have left their homes, the dearest spots on earth, whither the heart always turns. Religious persecution, political oppression drove thousands to Pennsylvania - to the asylum from the harrassed and depressed sons and daughters of the relics of the Reformation, whither William Penn himself invited the persecuted of every creed and religious opinion. From 1682 to 1776, Pennsylvania was the central point of emigration from Germany, France and Switzerland. Penn's liberal views, and illiberal course of the government of New York toward the Germans, induced many to come to this Province. The period from 1702 - 1727 marks an era in the early German emigration. Between forty and fifty thousand left their native country "their hearths where soft affections dwell." The unparalleled ravages and desolations by the troops of Louis XIV under Turenne, were the stern prelude to bloody persecutions. To escape the dreadful sufferings awaiting them, German and other Protestants emigrated to the English colonies in America. In 1705, a number of German Reformed residing between Wolfenbuttel and Halberstadt, fled to Neuwied, a town of Rhenish Prussia, where they remained some time, and then went to Holland - there embarked, in 1707, for New York. Their frail ship was, by reason of adverse winds, carried into the Delaware bay. Determined, however, to reach the place for which they were destined - to have a home among the Dutch, they took the overland route from Philadelphia to New York. On entering the fertile, charming valley in New Jersey, which is drained by the meandering Musconctcong, the Passaic and their tributaries, and having reached a goodly land, they resolve to remain in what is now known as the German Valley of Morrison county. From this point, the Germans have spread into Somerset, Bergan and Essex couties. At Elizabethtown, where the first English settlement was made in New Jersey, 1664, there were many Germans prior to 1730. There was also a German settlement at a place known as Hall Mill, which is some thiry miles from Philadelphia. In 1708 and 1709, thirty three thousand, on an invitation of Queen Anne, left their homes in the Rhine country for London, where some twelve or thirteen thousand arrived in the summer of 1708. There were books and papers dispersed in the Palatinate, with the Queen's picture on the books, and the title page in letters of gold, which, on that account, were called, 'The Golden Book', to encourage the Palatines to come to England, in order to be sent to the Carolinas, or to other of Her Majesty's colonies, to be settle there. These were, for some time, in a destitute condition - wholly depending upon the charity of the inhabitants of the English metropolis. In the fall of 1709, one hundred and fifty families, consisting of six hundred and fifty Palatines, were transported, under the tutelar auspices of Christian De Grafferied and Ludwig Michell, natives of Switzerland, to North Carolina. As in all new countries, the Palatines were exposed to trials, privations and hardships incident to border life. One hundred of them were massacred by the Tuskarora Indians, Sept 22, 1707. The descendants of these Germans reside in different parts of the State. At the time these Palatines left England for North Carolina, the Rev. Joshua Kockerhal, with a small band of his persecuted Lutheran brethren, embarked at London 1708, for New York, where they arrived in December, and shortly therafter he, with his little flock, settled on some lands up the Hudson river, which they had received from the crown of England. Two thousand one hundred acres, granted a patent Dec. 18, 1709. The Queen also bestowed upon Kocherthal five hundred acres as a glebe (transcriber's note: glebe is a plot of land belonging or yielding profit to an English parish church) for the Lutheran church. Newburg is the place of this settlement. In the meantime, while those were transported to North Carolina, and to New York, three thousand six hundred Germans were transfered to Ireland; seated upon unimproved lands in the county of Limerick, near Arbela and Adair; others, in the town of Rathkeale, where their descendants still reside, and are known to this day, as German Palatines, preserving their true German character for industry, thrift and honorable dealing. Persons who have lately visited them say, "They are the most wealthy and prosperous farmers in the county of Limerick." They still speak the German language. Of the large number that came to England, in 1708 and 1709, seven thousand, after having suffered great privations, returned, half naked and in despondency, to their native country. Ten thousand died for want of sustenance, medical attendance, and from other causes. Some perished on ships. The survivors were transported to English colonies in America. Several thousand had embarked for the Silly Islands, a group south-west of England; but never reached their intended destination. Ten sails of vessels were freighted with upwards of four thousand Germans for New York. They departed the 25th December, 1709 and after a six months' tedious voyage reached New York in June, 1710. On the inward passage, and immediately on landing, seventeen hundred died. The survivors were encamped in tents, the had brought with them from England, on Nutting, now Governor's Island. Here they remained til late in autumn, when about fourteen hundred were removed, one hundred miles up the Hudson river, to Livingston Manor. The widowed women, sickly men and orphaned children remained in New York. The orphans were apprenticed by Governor Hunter, to citizens of New York and of New Jersey. Thee settled on Hudson river were under indenture to serve Queen Anne as grateful subjects, to manufacture tar and raise hemp, in order to repay the expenses of their transport and cost of subsistence, to the amount of ten thousand pounds sterling, which had been advanced by parliamentary grant. A supply of naval stores from this arrangement, had been confidently anticipated. The experiment proved a complete failure. There was mismanagement. The Germans, being unjustly oppressed, became dissatisfied both with their treatment, and with their situation. Governor Hunter resorted to violent measures to secure obedience to his demands. In this, too, he failed. One hundred and fifty families, to escape the certainty of famishing, left, in the autumn of 1712, for Schoharie Valley, some sixty miles, northwest of Livingston Manor. They had no open road, no horses to carry or haul their luggage - this they loaded on roughly constructed sleds, and did tug those themselves, through a three feet deep snow, which greatly obstructed their progress - their way was through an unbroken forest, where and when the wind was howling its hibernal dirge through leaf-stripped trees, amid falling snow. It took them three full weeks. Having reached Schoharie, they made improvements upon the lands Queen Anne had granted them. Here they remained about ten years, when owing to some defect in their titles, they were deprived of both lands and improvements. In the spring of 1723, thirty-three families removed and settled in Pennsylvania, in Tulpehocken, some fifteen miles west of Reading. A few years afterward, others followed them. The other dissatisfied Germans at Schoharie, who did to choose to follow their friends to Pennsylvania sought for and found a future home on the frontier in Mohawk Valley. Queen Anne, who well understood the policy of England, to retain her own subjects at home, encouraged the emigration of Germans, sent some of those whom she had invited in 1708 and 1709, to Virginia; settled them above the falls of the Rappahannock, in Spotsylvania county, where they commenced a town, called Germanna. The locality was unpropitious. They moved some miles further up the river where they soon drove well. From this settlement they spread into several counties in Virginia, and into North Carolina. Because of the relentless persecution and oppression in Switzerland, a large body of defenseless Mennonites fled from the Cantons of Zurich; of Bern and Schaffhausen, about the year 1672, and took up their abode in Alsace, above Strasbourg, on the Rhine, where they remained till they emigrated, 1708, to London, thence to Pennsylvania. They lived some time at German town, and in the vicinity of Philadelphia. In 1712, they purchases a large tract of land from Penn's agents in Pequae, then Chester, now Lancaster county. Here this small colony erected some huts or long cabins, to serve temporarily as shelters. Here the time and again persecuted and oppressed Swiss, separated from friends and much that makes life agreeable, hoped to unmolested begin anew. Here, surrounded on all sides by severed clans of Indians, they located in the gloomy silent shades of a virgin forest, whose undisturbed solitude was yet uncheered by the murmurs of the honey bee, or the twitterings of the swallow, those never-failing attendants upon the woodman's axe. For the hum and warblings of those, they had not only the shout and song of the tawny sons of the forest, but also the nocturnal howlings of the over watchful dog baying at the sheeny queen of the night, as she moves stately on, reflecting her burrowed light. By way of variety, their ears were nightly greeted by the shrill, startling whoop of the owl, from some stridulous branches overhanging their cabins, and bending to the breeze of evening, or by the sinister croakings of some doleful night songsters in the continuous thickets. This Swiss settlement formed the nucleus, or centre of a rapidly increasing Swiss, French and German population, in the Eden of Pennsylvania. Hereafter, the influent accession from the European continent steadily increased, so much so, as to excite attention, and create no small degree of alarm of the "fearful of the day". Scarcely had the Mennonites commenced making their lands arable, when they sent a commissioner, Martin Kendig, to Germany and to Switzerland, to induce others to come to Pennsylvania. He was successful. There were large accessions to this new colony in 1711 and 1717 and a few years later. So great was the influx at this time of Swiss and German immigrants, as to call forth, as already stated, public attention, especially of those in office. Governor Keith, says the record, "observed to the Board - the Governor's council - that great numbers of foreigners from Germany, strangers to our language and constitution, having lately been imported into this Province, daily dispensed themselves immediatly after landing, without producing certificates from whence they came or what they are, and, as they seemed to have first landed in Britain, and afterwards to have left without any license from government, or as far as they know, so, in the same manner, they behaved here, without making the least application to him or any of the magistrates. That, as this practice might be of very dangerous consequence, since, by the same method, any number of foreigners, from any nation whatever, enemies as well as friends, might throw themselves upon us." This was in 1717. In 1719, Jonathan Dickinson remarked; "We are daily expecting ships from London, which bring over Palatines, in number about six or seven thousand. We had a parcel that came over about five years ago, who purchased land about sixty miles west of Philadelphia, and proved quiet and industrious." After 1716, Germans, a few French and Dutch, began to penetrate the forest or wilderness - some twenty, thirty, forty, others from sixty to seventy miles, west and north from the metropolis. Large German settlements had sprung up at different points within the present limits of Montgomery and Berks counties. At Goshenhoppen there was a German Reformed church, organized as early as 1717. Some Mennonites coming from the Netherlands, settled along the Pakilmomink (Perkioming) and Schkipeck (Skippack) a few years later. The Germans were principally farmers. They depended more upon themselves than upon others. They wielded the mattock, the axe and the maul, and by the power of brawny arms rooted up the grubs, removed saplings, felled the majestic oaks, laid low the towering hickory; prostrated, where they grew, the walnut, poplar, chestnut - cleaved such as suited the purpose, into rails for fences - persevered untiringly until the forest was changed into arable field. They were those of whom Governor Thomas said, 1738: 'This Province has been for some years the asylum of the distressed Protestants of the Palatinate, and other parts of Germany; and I believe, it may truthfully he said, that the present flourishing condition of it is in a great measure owing to the industry of those people; it is not altogether the fertility of the soil, but the number and industry of the people, that makes a country flourish.' England understood well the true policy to increase the number of the people in her American colonies - she retained at home her own subjects, encourage the emigration of Germans; by this England was the gainer, without an diminution of her inhabitants. Unreasonable as it may seen, it was this class of Germans, that were so much feared, "whose numbers from Germany at this rate, would soon produce a German colony here, and perhaps such a one as Britain once received from Saxony in the fifth century." In 1719, some twenty families of Selwartzenau Taufer arrived at Philadelphia. Some settle in German town, others located on the Skippack, in Oley. About 1728 and 1729, the Germans crossed the Susquehanna, located within the present limits of York and Adams county, and made improvements under discouraging circumstances. The tide of emigration from the continent of Europe was strong. Various influences were brought to bear upon the increase of the influx. In Pennsylvania, the Newlander, tools in the hands of shipowners, merchants and importers, contributed much to induce Germans to leave their homes. There were, besides these, another class, who were active in prevailing upon the inhabitants of Germany to abandon their country for the new world. These two classes, Newlander and speculators, resorted to diverse arts in order to effect their purposes. They gave these, whom they desired to abandon their homes, assurances, endorsed by solemn promises, that the Poet's Arcadia had at last been found in America. To posess this, in Louisiana, on the banks of the Mississippi, several thousands left Germany in 1715 and 1717, under the leadership of the notorious John Law, who instead of bringing them immediately on their arrival in America, to the promised Eden, on the banks of the Father of the Western Water, landed them on the pontines (transcriber's note: land bridge) of Biloxi near the Mobile. Here they were exposed, without protection against their many foes, for five years Not one of them entered the promised paradise. Two thousand were consigned to the grave. The pallid survivors - about three hundred, finally seated on the banks of the Mississippi, 1722, some thirty or forty miles above New Orleans. Law had, through his agents, engaged twelve thousand Germans and Swiss. The sad fate of those of Biloxi was spread abroad, which deterred other from coming to participate in the promised blessings of the Elesyan fields, or to possess the Eldorado. The three hundred on the Mississippi were very poor for some years. They had been reduced to the most extreme poverty. From these poor but honorable Germans, have spring says Gayarre, some of the most respectable citizens of Louisiana, and some of the wealthiest sugar planters in the State. Their descendants forgot the German language, and have adopted the French; but the name of many clearly indicate the blood coursing in their veins; nevertheless more than one name has been so frenchified as to appear of Gallic parentage. The coast, so poor and beggarly at first, and once known as the German coast, has since become the producer and the receptacle of such wealth, so as to be now know by the appropriate name of Coast of Gold. In the spring of 1734, some Lutherans, known in history as Saltzburgers, from Saltzburg, a city of Upper Austria, arrived in Georgia. In Europe, they too had been the victims of bloody persecution. They had been driven from their country and their homes, on account of their unswerving attachment to the principles of the Gospel. This devotedly pious band of Christians was accompanied by their attached pastors, the Rev'd John Martin Boltzius and Israel Christian Gronau, and an excellent schoolmaster, Christian Ortman. The Saltzburgers located in Effingham county and styled their first settlement Ebenezer, to express their unfeigned gratitude to the Lord, who had been to them a storing rock, a house of defence, to save them. This German colony received accessions from time to time until they reached, prior to 1745, several hundred families. There were also many Germans residing in Savannah; besides some forty of fifty Moravians in the same state under the pastoral care for the Rev. David Nitschliman. The Moravians made no permanent settlement in Georgia. When the Spanish War broke out, they removed, almost to a man, to the State of Pennsylvania, because it was contrary to their religious faith to take up arms in any cause. In 1738, some arrived in Pennsylvania and located at Bethlehem. In 1740, those who had remained, left Georgia and joined their brethren in Pennsylvania. This, the mission among the Indians in Georgia, after a promising beginning, was at once suspended. Before the Moravians came to Pennsylvania, a respectable number of Schwenkfelders and arrived, settling in Bucks and Philadelphia county, now Montgomery, Berks and Lehigh. The Schwenkfelders had intended, before leaving their homes in Europe, to embark for Georgia. They however, changed their minds and established themselves in the asylum for the oppressed, Pennsylvania. In 1732, Monsieur Jean Pierre Pury of Neuchatel, Switzerland visited Carolina. Being encouraged by the government both of England and Carolina, he undertook to settle a colony of Swiss there. In 1732 one hundred and seventy persons were transported. These were soon followed by others. In a short time the colony consisted of three hundred persons. They settled on the north bank of the Savannah, built a town called Purysburgh, about thirty-six miles above the mouth of the river. The colony still continued to increase. In 1734, Pury brought two hundred and seventy persons more from Switzerland. All those were brought from Switzerland at the expense of Pury and several of his friends, who advanced him money for that purpose, he having spent the greatest part of his fortune in the prosecution of that design before he could bring it to execution. Thee were now nearly six hundred souls in this settlement. This was done in pursuance of a scheme, proposed by Mr. Pury to the Assembly of South Carolina; his scheme was to propel the southern frontier of Carolina with brave and laborious people, such as the Swiss are known to be. The assembly highly approved of this scheme; to assist him in the execution of it, they passed an act, August 20, 1731, which secured to him a reward of £400, upon his bringing over to Carolina a hundred effective men. In this act the Assembly promised also to find provisions, tools, etc, for three hundred persons for one year. Purysburgh in 1747, contained more than one hundred houses tolerably well built. In Colleton county, on the north bank of North Ediston river, 12 miles from its mouth, stands Wilton, or New London, consisting of 80 houses built by Swiss under the direction of Zuberbhuler, with leave from the Assembly. This town proved detrimental to Purysburgh, being in the heart of the county and near the capital; it drew people thither, who did not care to go to Purysburgh. From 1740-1755, a great many Palatines were sent to South Carolina, They settled Orangeburg, Cougaree and Wateree. In 1765, upwards of six hundred from the Palatine and Swabia were sent over from London and had a township of land set apart for them. In 1739, a number of Lutherans and German Reformed purchased a tract of land from General Waldo, and laid out the town Waldoborough, in Lincoln county, Maine. Bremen, a village in the same county, and Frankfort, in Waldo county, were undoubtedly laid out, or settled by Germans, as the names would indicate. During the Spanish and French War, in 1746, Waldoborough was laid in ashes by some Canadian Indians. Some of the inhabitants were massacred, others abducted. Not a few died from the ill-treatment received at the hands of the savages - some made their escape, and were dispersed in Canada. Waldoborough remained in ruins until 1750. In 1751, invited by those in authority, thirty German families, and in 1752, fifteen hundred individuals from Europe, persons of means, settled in Maine. King George II of Great Britain, held out strong inducements, through very liberal promises, to all who would emigrate into, and settle Nova Scotia, when a considerable body of German, principally Hanoverians, left their country, embarked for America, landed at Chebucto Bay, near Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, where fourteen hundred and fifty-three re-embarked and landed at Marliguish, on the 7th of june, 1753. Here they laid out the flourishing town of Lundenburg. Here they were doomed to experience the same resistance from the natives which the colonists at Halifax had met with, in settling the Peninsula; and the early history of the place contains little else than a constant succession of struggles with the savages in which, notwithstanding the powerful protection they received from the government, they lost many lives. Their attempts at agriculture were therefore restricted within a very narrow compass, and the settlement of the adjoining country was retarded until the French power and influence in Nova Scotia were subdued. From 1735, settlements in Pennsylvania multiplied rapidly; extended over vast regions, west of the Susquehanna, whither the Scotch-Irish had led the way. The German settlement kept pace with the native. The Kau-ta-tn-chunk (Kittatiny or Blue Mountain) extending from the Delaware hundreds of miles westwards, was not an insurmountable barrier - that they crossed and laid out farms where shortly afterwards they, their wives and children, were exposed to the torch, hatchet and scalping knife of the savages, and their midnight assault and slaughter. Hundreds fell victims to the relentlessly cruel savage, along the Blue Mountains, south and north of them and along the Susquehanna, as far north as Penn's Creek, from 1754-1763 and even at a later period. Among the massacred were many Germans - more than 300 in all. Germans massacred, north of the Blue Mountain, within Monroe county, among other were: Guldin, Hoth or Huth, Bomper, Vanaken, Vanflor, Schnell, Hartman, Hage, Brundich, Hellman, Gonderman, Schleich, Muller, Vandelap, Decker, Van Gondie, Brinker. South and north of the same mountain, within the present limits of Northampton, Carbon and Lehigh - more than one hundred were killed. Among them were: Sohn, Klein, Bittenbender, Roth, Schaffer, Ancers, Nitschman, Senseman, Gattermyer, Fabricuius, Schwigert, Leslie, Presser, Depu. Along the same mountain, within the limits of Berks, Lebanon and Dauphin county - Reichelsdorfer, Gerhart, Neidung, Klug, or Kluck, Linderman, Schott, Craushar, Zeissloff, Wunch, Dieppel, Henly, Spitler, Nocker, Maurer, Boshar, Fell, Kuhlmer, Lang, Trump, Yager, Sechler, Schetterly, Sauter, Geiger, Ditzler, Franz, Schnebele, Mosser, Fincher, Hubler, Marloff, Wolf, Handsche, Weisser, Miess, Lebenguth, Motz, Noah, Windelblech, Zeuchmacher, etc. Prior to 1770, the wilderness of Pennsylvania was penetrated beyond the Allegheny Mountains. Settlements were effected within the present bounds of Westmoreland and other eastern counties of this state. A number of German families had located on the Monongahela as far up as Redstone, Brownsville, Fayette county. Here settled the Weismans, Pressers, Vervalsons, Delongs, Jungs, Martins, Shutts, Peters, Schwartz, Hutters, Cackeys, Abrahams, and others (the first Germans in Western Pennsylvania, located in Greene county. These were two brothers, the Eckerleins of Ephrata, who left there and settle in the depths of the wilderness in 1745. Prior to 1754, Wendel Braun, and his two sons, and Frederik Waltser, located four miles west of Uniontown.), whom that devoted minister of the cross, the Rev. John Conrad Bucher, visited in Nov 1768.

I've added Wikitree links to those (sourced) profiles I could identify. The Palatine Migration Project helps manage many of these profiles, but there remain plenty of names that are un-identified and/or un-sourced.

I believe that her maiden name is actually unknown. Also, I don’t know proper merging procedures for issues like this, but I think that the reason someone gave this Catherine a last name is because she was confused with one of these Catherines: Heinrich [[Cagle-103]] b. 1730 m.

[[ Rieth-77]] and and[[ Reith-178]] definitely represent the same person, and the two biographies are complementary. Currently on Wikitree, two of his siblings are Rieth and three are Reith. HZ Jones uses Reidt. I have also seen Rith used--and of course the famous church is most often called Reed, which is the name may of the family adopted in subsequent generations. Any suggestions? --- Added by [[Schell-1258|Michael Schell]] If the family adopted Reed, then the German spelling was probably Rieth, which pronounces as Reeth. Reith was pronounced with the hard "i" as in rice. Hard to ignore Jones though. [[Rutherford-448|Rutherford-448]] 07:15, 5 January 2019 (UTC) ==Family name of Catharina, wife of Johann Jacob Sternenberger (Hunter lists #742)== The listing for Johann Jacob in Vol 2, p. 997 does not give the family name of Catharina. In Vol 3, p. 375, however, there is a small clue about 2 possible villages of her origin (presuming that she originates from the same village as her husband). Hope this helps: ''6797 '''Waldmohr''' (7 km N of Homburg) was a real seedbed of 1709er emigrants, many of whom went to Schoharie. Therefore, it is interesting to note that Hanß Jacob Sternberger, son of Jost of Bruchmühlbach sponsored a Johan Ulrich there in 1693 and 1694. Perhaps he was the emigrant. Ernest Thode also suggests looking for more on this family at 6660 '''Mörsbach,''' near Niederauerbach, now both within the city of Zweibrücken.'' --- Added by [[Schell-1258|Michael Schell]] in reference to [[Sternberg-117]] :The marriage record that Jaki found looks promising, but I'm not sure how far we can go with it. Based on her two profiles, I would say that her LNAB is best characterized as "Unknown." We have speculation by Henry Jones to the effect that her husband, named Sternberg, might have been from Bruchmühlbach and now there's a marriage record for a Jacob Sternberger marrying a Catharina in a town 21 miles from Bruchmühlbach. That marriage record provides a basis for speculating about her LNAB, but I don't think it's strong enough evidence to declare her LNAB to be Broccharts. :The previous record on the page (dated two days earlier) is for an Elisabetha Broccharts marrying a man whose name I can't make out with any certainty. That makes me wonder whether Elisabetha's husband also appears on the Hunter lists. -- [[Smith-62120|Smith-62120]] 00:36, 20 November 2018 (UTC) The marriage two days previous looks like the man's name who married Elisabetha was Nicolaus Nissel. Don't see any name like that on my copy of Gov. Hunter's list. But don't know why that would be disqualifying in any way. Marriages were fourteen years before the migration. The other couple may have been related, but this was over a decade previous. May not have survived the wars and starvation. [[Rutherford-448|Rutherford-448]] 02:46, 20 November 2018 (UTC) Stevenson wrote to me and reported that another researcher, Simon Ross provides: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3VHH-PPL which indicates that LNAB of Catherina was Sternberger and not the surname from her husband. He says that this seems to be supported by Jones who refers to her as Catherina Sternberg. Maybe Unknown is indeed best here. [[Rutherford-448|Rutherford-448]] 07:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC) Thank you, David, Ellen, and Stevenson. I agree (for now) that Catharina's LNAB is currently unknown. Sternberger and Sternberg could very well be alternate spellings of the same name. The person who posted the info sited above on Family Search writes: "I use ancestry to play with this one and I place all my more accurately researched info on Wikitree." (He has not posted Catharina's surname on Wikitree. ) Are there perhaps any other Broccharts on the Hunter lists? -- [[Erdoes-1|Jaki Erdoes]] == Orphan profile on Wikitree for Jacob Dieffenbach== Michael Schell described this in a profile message.

Were they first Germans who migrated to Ireland?''
Yes, the Irish Palatines were German families that were settled there by the British at the same time that others were settled in the American colonies, particularly New York. These original migrants to Ireland are within the scope of this project.
However, the Irish Palatines to Canada were part of a later migration and are outside the scope of our project. - [[Rutherford-448|Dave Rutherford]] :im not familiar with the Irish Palatines to Canada, so this may or may not be relevant... :The first wave of Palatine refugees were supposed to be settled in England and Ireland, but the numbers overwhelmed the ability of Britain to accommodate them, so many were sent on to North America instead. I think some of the people who were initially settled in England and Ireland also went to North America. Many of those early Palatine migrants went through a multi-year migration, first to Rotterdam, where they waited months to go to England; then to England and Ireland; and then to North America. :There are immigrants to Canada in the mid-1700s who were identified as Palatines and would be part of this project. - [[Smith-62120|Ellen Smith]] I was not aware of any Palatines who came directly to Canada. At the time of the first wave in the very early 1700's, Canada was French and not open to settlement by the Palatines.
There may be a few of the German immigrants who came over after the first wave, and joined in the American Revolution on the Royal side, and subsequently migrated to Canada as Loyalists.
But any Irish Palatines would have been settled in Ireland by 1710 and Canada was not British until the 1760's and not really open for settlement until after the American Revolution. So any Irish Palatines who made it to Canada would have been descendants of the original Irish Palatines. My 3X great grandmother Barbara (Young) Bowles was from the Palatine road in Tipperary. She came to Canada in the 1820's but is outside the scope of our project as she is at least 3rd or 4th generation Irish Palatine, not one of the original settlers there. She wasn't born until 1776. - [[Rutherford-448|Dave Rutherford]] Interesting about your Irish Palatine ancestor -- and her origin on the Palatine road in Tipperary, Dave!
Some time ago I ran across a compilation of passenger lists for Palatine ships arriving in Nova Scotia (I think they arrived in Lunenburg) around 1749-1752. Links to the material I found are compiled on the page [[Space:Palatine Ships to Nova Scotia]]. That material (which I didn't investigate much) is the source of my information about Palatines arriving in Canada in that time period. It wasn't Canada yet, of course, but Nova Scotia was later to become part of Canada. - [[Smith-62120|Smith-62120]] 02:31, 30 July 2018 (UTC) Nice catch Ellen!
I was not aware of these folks, but yes they definitely would qualify for our project & Nova Scotia is definitely Canada! You caught me being Ontario-centric. Showing some of the gaps of my knowledge of early Maritime history.
It still holds that the Irish Palatines that came later would not be part of the project though. - [[Rutherford-448|Rutherford-448]] 18:01, 30 July 2018 (UTC) ==Germanna Colonies? == See [[:Category: Germanna Colonies in Virginia]]. I propose that the project scope be revised to explicitly exclude these settlements in Virginia, as they seem be distinct from Palatine migrations. -- Ellen, 9 February 2017 OK Ellen. I am not sure where to add this. I see that the Germanna page is already linked under a "WikiTree Links" heading. Don't know if it should be mentioned there, or if the link and accompanying comment should be placed at the top under "Palatine Migration Project". Do whatever you think is best. -- Dave, 9 February 2017 For the most part, these colonies can be kept separate from Palatine migrants, since the colonies were apparently the destination for the emigrants who first settled there. However, I found that some immigrants arrived in Philadelphia, settled in Pennsylvania, then later moved to the Germanna colonies, so I guess there will be some people who fit in both categories. I edited the Palatine Migrants category description to explain that. -- Ellen, 13 February 2017 ==Overlap with "Swiss-German and Mennonite Immigrants to Pennsylvania"?== [[:Category:Swiss-German and Mennonite Immigrants to Pennsylvania]] contains people who may (with my limited imagination, anyway) be indistinguishable from Palatine migrants -- they arrived after 1709 (and often a good bit later) and I don't believe they were all attracted to William Penn's lands (nor Mennonites). Is there a good basis for demarcating a scope boundary between these subprojects, or do we need to treat this as an area of overlap to be discussed with the other project? -- Ellen, 23 January 2017 Yes, it looks like a clear overlap. But is this page really a sub-project? It calls itself this, but I think it is only a category. It is impossible to track activity on the "project" and find out if anyone is even active with it right now. And the William Penn project, of which it is supposed to be a sub-project, defines itself rather narrowly as dealing with 23 ships in 1681 and 1682. So, perhaps those that didn't contract with and settle on Penn's grants should be part of our project. This category looks like it was set up with fairly narrow parameters, but soon became a catch-all destination for anything German & Pennsylvania. -- Dave, 24 January 2017 :Further examination of the [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Swiss-German_and_Mennonite_Immigrants_to_Pennsylvania&action=history history of that category] and some of the profiles in that category leads me to think that there might be some misconceptions and confusion surrounding that category, but there also are some distinctions to be drawn between Palatines and other groups. The earliest settlers of Lancaster County do appear to have been Mennonites who arrived in the decade of the 1710s, and other Anabaptists followed, but Palatines also started arriving in Pennsylvania not long after the Mennonites. And us modern people can have difficulty identifying our ancestors' religions. I found one German immigrant identified on his WikiTree profile as a Quaker, apparently because he was a member of a [German] Reformed congregation; that may indicate a misunderstanding of the terminology of Protestant denominations. There also were some Huguenots settling in Pennsylvania in that same time period, including some who had been living in Germany or Alsace (and speaking German, apparently) for some time before emigrating. -- Ellen, 24 January 2017 :Further to the above, [http://www.sacred-texts.com/ame/elpg/elpg02.htm this webpage] presents a lightweight capsule summary of Pennsylvania German immigration that seems consistent with what I've read elsewhere. That page (which I've lightly supplemented with info from other sources) indicates that beginning in 1683 and until before 1710, Germans arrived in direct or indirect response to invitation from William Penn. In 1710, Swiss Mennonites began to arrive, and Hans Herr and Martin Kündig took out a patent for ten thousand acres of land on Pequea Creek, Conestogoe (subsequently Lancaster county, organized 1729). The page doesn't indicate how long the influx of Swiss Mennonites continued. 1723 was the year when Palatines from New York removed to the Tulpehocken Valley, and members of the Kocherthal party (Palatines) had arrived in Pennsylvania earlier. Systematic recording of passenger lists from German ships arriving at Philadelphia (typically identified as "Palatines") began in 1727. Interestingly, sources identify several members of the Kocherthal party as Huguenots. :It seems to me that (1) we need to consult with the leadership of the William Penn project regarding their project scope and interfaces with this project, (2) it probably would make sense to offer to take the Swiss Mennonites of 1710 under the umbrella of this subproject, since their time and geography closely overlap with the time and geography of the first Palatine migrants, and (3) we might need to have special subcategories for Mennonites, other Anabaptists, and Palatine Huguenots as subcomponents of this subproject. -- Ellen, 24 January 2017 :Here's an example of a profile that's currently in the William Penn project and that might possibly fit this project, but probably doesn't. It doesn't fit the William Penn project's defined pre-1700 chronological scope, but there's some indication the father visited Philadelphia before 1700 and the family went to Philadelphia before the Palatine migration began. -- Ellen, 13 February 2017 * [[Keim-22|Keim-22]] == Donauschwabens? == Kelly Dazet is asking whether the Germans who migrated to the east should be part of the project. They were known as the Donauschwabens or Danube-Swabians. Doing a quick check online I found the following articles: * https://www.genealogy.net/reg/ESE/dschwaben.html * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube_Swabians Perhaps the biggest thing that struck me about this eastward migration was the lengthy time period involved, from c.1683 right up to the Napoleonic era. This is a longer stretch of time than we have envisaged for our project, although much of the migration did take place in the same time frame. My own two cents - I think it should probably be a separate sub-project under German Roots. But - open for discussion.... :I agree that the Donauschwaben would be more effectively treated as a separate subproject. The time period does coincide with the Palatine Migration, but the destination of emigration was different, and subsequent history is very different. I think both the Palatine and Donauschwabe immigrant groups would be better served by their own focused subprojects. -- Ellen, 23 Jan 2017 It turns out that there is a sub-project of German Roots already proposed for the Donauschwaben, with Rose Nunez as coordinator. It is listed under "Current Sub-Projects" here: [[Project:German_Roots|Project:German_Roots]] There is an associated category which already has 65 profiles attached to it: [[:Category:Donauschwaben|Category:Donauschwaben]] I will let Kelly know. -- Dave, 25 Jan 2017 == Hessians? == Jenny asks an interesting question regarding the Hessian soldiers who fought as mercenaries on the British side in the American Revolution. Until seeing her question and researching the subject, i didn't realize that many of them stayed in America. (There were Hessian soldiers hired to fight in other wars in other places, but not much indication that they stayed behind in the places where they served.) Here are a few Internet links for information that I read in my quick research: * http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/hessians/ * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_(soldier) * http://www.miwsr.com/2015-102.aspx * https://allthingsliberty.com/2014/08/8-fast-facts-about-hessians/ Reasons in favor of including Hessians in this project include: # They were Germans, from essentially the same regions that Palatine immigrants came from. # They also arrived in the 18th century. # At least some of the Hessians who stayed in America had been prisoners of war in German communities in America during their military service and had blended into a local population that probably had a large component of Palatine immigrants. # It may be hard to tell Hessians apart from Palatine immigrants, and it's likely that some of the ancestors whom people think of as Palatine immigrants were actually Hessian soldiers. # Some of the Hessians who remained in America apparently are rather well documented (for example, see http://jsha.org/jshacomb.htm ), so adding them to the project scope might not be particularly burdensome. Reasons against including Hessians in this project include: # The project has a lot on its plate already; I think the Palatine migration to America was much larger than any other colonial migration. # Hessian immigration occurred for very different reasons and under very different circumstances than the "Palatines." The Palatines left Germany voluntarily, mainly in response to economic circumstances, and arrived in America on immigration ships. In contrast, the Hessians were mostly involuntary conscripts who were shipped to America on some form of military transport. # Hessians also could fall in the scope of the 1776 project. # Hessians who immigrated to America could be successfully treated by a small, separate focused subproject of German Roots, benefiting from resources like http://jsha.org/jshacomb.htm I think I'm leaning toward that small focused subproject of German Roots. - Ellen, 20 January 2017 '''---''' I agree with you Ellen. I think it would work better as a separate sub-project of German roots. This is both because of the "different reasons and different circumstances" that you mention, and also because I think that technically, any Hessian soldiers that 'settled' in North America did so after the conclusion of the American Revolution. And I thought we were going to concentrate on folks who settled here before that event. - Dave, 20 January 2017 Late to the party. On the other hand, one of my ancestors was a Hessian soldier who fought with General Braddock during the French and Indian War (pre-Revolution) and stayed. Having received land in exchange for his service. -- Kathy [[Rabenstein-9|Rabenstein-9]] 06:05, 16 May 2019 (UTC) == January 2017 == What's the odds of a group of 4 people including two April fools? - Ellen Yeah, that is funny.

In reviewing citations, consider the age of the work. A book published recently should be considered doubtful if it lacks good standard reference citations. However, because 19th-century authors typically did not use modern-style citations, we need instead to look for informal descriptions of where their information came from.

[[Category:German Roots]][[Category: German Roots Project]][[Category:Palatine Migration]] == To join the [[Project:Palatine Migration|Palatine Migration Project]], see the main [[Project:Palatine Migration|project page]] == The Palatinate is a distinct region within Germany. But the upheavals at the end of the 17th century that continued into the 18th century were not confined exclusively to the borders of the Palatinate. Most historians consider all Germans (broadly defined to include German-speaking people) who emigrated from the beginning of the 18th century til the outbreak of the American Revolution to be part of the Palatine Migration. ::[[Space:Palatines_Images|Palatines Images]] {{Image|file=Palatines_Images-11.jpg |align=c |size=350 |caption=Regions of Germany }} The definition of Palatine is listed to be a person who originally lived near the Rhine River in the Palatinate of southwestern Germany. Many wars in the Middle Rhine region of the Holy Roman Empire resulted in the French of long ago invading Germany. These invasions contributed to destruction of the countryside, thus less farming, and famine, as well as military requisitions reduced the region to being unable to support its citizens. The French troops of King Louis XIV had sacked the cities, burned houses, stolen property, killed many people, and generally destroyed the farms.. The farmers in the locale were forced to plow under their fields, as all were ruined. In 1693 the looting and burning of castles and villages occurred.. That was when the great castle of Heidelberg was reduced to ruins. The region suffered perhaps more that most: Lower or Rhenish Palatinate which was also called the Pfalz was located in southwest Germany east of Luxembourg along both sides of the Middle Rhine River. The Pfalz included the present German States of Mainz, Treves, Lorraine, Alsace, Baden and Wurtemberg. Heidelberg was its capital.[http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Research/Palatines.pdf The Palatines], UELAC Research Paper, 2006.

Wars in Europe had reduced its ability to sufficiently provide for its families. These resilient people adjusted to new locales, and prospered where they could. They were hard workers. {{Image|file=Palatines_Images.png |align=c |size=350 |caption=Germany region. }} *1702-1727 Was an Era of early German emigration to England..It was very cold beginning in October, of 1708. The farmers had plowed under their fields. No more could be done. Even the fruit trees were killed. They began the migration. {{Image|file=Palatines_Images.jpg |align=r |size=190 |caption=Queen Ann, England. }}{{clear}} '''Queen Anne''' and the English government offered a '''safe haven in England''' and sustenance for the Palatines until they could get jobs, etc. The Seine River had frozen over. There were some places which would support the carts of belongings. The people began to leave. Their path was northward then over to Holland…Then by shipload over to England. When the Palatines reached London there are reports that the numbers arriving in London may have reached 2000 to 13,500. The Palatines began to cross from Holland to England in large numbers.. By Oct, 1709 there were 13,500 in or more with no money, or houses. They were residing in tents of sorts or lean-to's in London, near the Surrey side of the Thames River, Blackheath.

[[Category: Palatine Migration Project]] The Simmendinger Register is important in research about Palatine migration to the American colonies. [[Simmendinger-13|Ulrich Simmendinger]] was a Palatine immigrant, arriving on the eighth ship from England to New York about July 4, 1710.https://web.archive.org/web/20111115154524/http://www.progenealogists.com/palproject/ny/1710eighth.htm He also appears on the New York subsistence list.http://hausegenealogy.com/sub1710.html He returned to Germany after about seven years in the American colonies but had taken a census of early Palatine settlements. Once back in Germany he published, in German, his Register; giving the names of heads of families, often the wife's name, the number of children and the settlement they were living in. The Register is invaluable in identifying and locating Palatine immigrant families. Various transcriptions have been made of the Register, in various formats. Some are available online. Below are several web sites with a transcription of the Register: [https://immigrantships.net/v4/1700v4/simmendinger17100100A_L.html Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild] [http://sites.rootsweb.com/~nygreen2/the_simmendinger_register.htm Greene County Rootsweb page] [http://www.threerivershms.com/knittlesimmendinger.htm Three Rivers local history site] [http://schoharie.nygenweb.net/simmen.html Schoharie County GenWeb site] which breaks the list down by settlements in the Schoharie Valley.
