settlers to Manhattan Island (New Amsterdam).
Most likely, Heinrich and Gertrude were among those German Palatines
emigrating to america, at the invitation of the Queen of England, who
guaranteed them land in America, about 1710. Many were shuffled off to
Schoharie, N.Y. and suffered near starvation before becoming integrated into
the populace. many moved to PA. a few years later. Traces of them are still
found in the dPA. Dutch communities, from there they became true Pioneers or
Frontiersman and women. many are reported to have married Indians. Many were
killed by Indians.
