[or-roots] Palatines

[Sue Steward]

My husband has Straub immigrants who came from Germany during this time period.  I contacted Diana Gale Matthiesen who has done a lot of research on the Straubs and this is how she responded.  This may give you a different source to check out.


The author of this page is mixing up different waves of immigration.
There was, indeed, a wave of Palatine Germans who migrated to London
in 1709, then from there, on to *New York* in 1710.  Their story is
told in a 1937 book by Walter Allen Knittle entitled, "Early
Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration: a British Government
Redemptioner Project to Manufacture Naval Stores" (Dorrance&  Co.,
Philadelphia).
