Notes - Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration by Walter Allen Knittle 1905
In 1709-1710 thousands of Germans from the Palatine/Rhine areas were encouraged by the British government to emigrate to America. In March of 1709 Britian passed a law that would that would give the adults naturalized citizen status so that they could purchase and hold land in America and their children would be given natural born citizen status so that they could also take part in trade and commerce which was usually forbidden by foreigners. These Palatine emigrants began their journey down the Rhine River - a 4-6 week venture - to Rotterdam, Holland. From there they were eventually given passage to London. Once in London they were supposed to be given passage to America, but Britian was overwhelmed by the number of emigrants who had arrived and it was some months before the Palatines were finally able to leave for America. In January of 1710, Queen Anne approved the request for the emigrants to depart for America. The first ship sailed on April 10, 1710.
The second party that sailed from Holland to London embarked on May 23, 1709. Aboard this ship were the following:
(Spellings of names taken from the book exactly as written)
Johannes Krembs - w. Anna Christina, 1 child
Diderig Soets - and wife, Hans Pieter and 2 children
Johannes Sous - and wife, Hans Pr Sous, Maria, Magdaleena, Maria Lucina
Among the fourth party which enbarked on June 10, -June 19, 1709 (sailed June 21, 1709) were:
Johan Luts - wife and 6 children
The following entries were taken from The New York Subsistence List compiled from the "journal" of Palatine debtors to the British government for subsistence given either in NYC or in the Hudson River settlements, from their landing in 1710 to September 1712:
Johann Dietrich Sutz - in 1710 he had 3 adults (all children over 10 were counted as adults) and 1 child. In 1712 he had 3 adults
Johann Dietrich Laux - 2 adults and 1 child. By 1712 he had just 2 adults listed so his child probably died between 1710 and 1712.
Johannes Krembs - 2 adults in 1710 and 2 adults and 2 children in 1712.
The Simmendinger Register of 1717 shows the area of settlement in the Hudson River settlement:
Peter Sutz - Diese Menschen Wohnen auf dem Rarendantz (Schohaire Valley settlements) wife and 1 child
Johann Dietrich Sutz - Becksmansland. Possible west side of river or possible Rhinebeck or possibly moved to east side of river.
w. Magdenena and 2 children
Johann Dietrich Laux - Neu Heessberg. A Schohaire Valley settlement. w. Maria
Johannes Krembs - Neu Quunsberg . A Schohaire Valley settlement. w. Apolonia and 1 child
