Johann emigrated from Germany in 1708, coming to America as a passenger on one of the 10 ships from Rotterdam, Holland, to England then to New York, that year. He was an indentured servant in West Camp along the Hudson, also known as Hunter Camp, named for then NY Gov. Robert Hunter. Since the manufacture of naval supplies didn't fare well, many of the Palatine refugees were let go and given land in the area nearby. Johann's name appears on the Dutchess Co. tax rolls up until his death in 1762.
