Misc. Notes

IMMIGRATION: 1708, Germany to PA: Came to America in 1708 with the Reverend Joshua Kocherthal  (NOTE: Son Carl born aboard the ship “Globe”)

Name is also found as "Volk" and "Volck"

 

LFC: After Carl, believe all the children were born in New York. At some point they moved to Pennsylvania, where both died. See also notes with son Andreas Jr.

 

LFC: HERE IS A NOTE I FOUND ABOUT THE ARRIVAL OF KOCHERTHAL AND THE PALATINES:

In 1708 the Reverend Joshua Kocherthal assembled a party of forty-one adults and their children and prepared to emigrate to the Carolinas; they had been enticed by the advertisements published by the proprietary governor of the Carolina colony. In order to settle in any of the British colonies, Kocherthal had to submit a request to Queen Anne. The party traveled to London in the Spring of 1708 to secure the royal permission and was confronted by the usual governmental red-tape. Reverend Kocherthal had to provide a justification for the emigration; the reason given was the French ravages in the Rhine and Neckar Valleys in 1707. The Germans' petition was submitted to the Board of Trade. The Board of Trade suggested that the Germans should be settled in Antigua. Upon the opinion that the Palatines would not be suited to the hot climate of the West Indies it was then suggested that they be directed to the Hudson River Valley of the Province of New York. The Germans would therefore be available to assist the English on the frontier against the French and the Indians.

 

  By the time that the Germans actually embarked for the New World in October, the original party of forty-one had been increased by the addition of fourteen more emigrants. One family had to remain behind because of the mother's illness. En route, two children were born.
