  • 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

      The Palatine Families of New York 1710 by Henry Z. Jones Jr.
      "Johannes Kremps, a shepard auf dem Hainer Hof, was documented at Leeheim (6 km. e. of Oppenheim; Ch bks. begin 1611, but gaps). Johannes Krems, his wife, with Anna Kristina and 1 child, (Rotterdam List). John Krems age 29, his wife, and a son age 4, Rom. Catholic, husbandman and vinedresser, were in the 2nd arrivals later that yr. in England (London List).

      Johannes Krembs made his initial appearance on the Hunter List 4 Aug 1710 with 2 pers. over 10 yrs.; the entry for 24 dec 1711 reads 2 over 10 and 1 under 10, and for 25 March 1712 noted 2 pers over 10 yrs and 2 under 10. Johannes Krem was nat. 28 Feb 1715/16 (Albany Nats.). Johannes Krembs and his wife Apolonia were recorded at Neu-Quunberg ca. 1716/17with one child in the family (Simmendinger Register).
