* There is a slight discrepancy between the statement, in a German
book, printed 1771, giving account of the voyage and anival of those
imported in the ship Saint Andrew, and the original papers. From
the book alluded to it appears the ship Saint Andrew, John Stedman,
Master, was freighted with Schwenckfelders, followers of Casp. Schwenckfeld,
bom in Lower Silesia, 1490. These left their homes in April
1734, embarked at Altoona, Denmark, May 14, arrived at Philadelphia
September 22, and on the 23d they declared their fealty: "On September
23d all male persons above the age of sixteen had to appear
in the Court House, in order to swear allegiance to the rules of the
country, to wit: The King of Great Britain and His successors to the
Crown of England. Description of the Journey, ^c, pp. 450-461. These
settled in Berks, Lehigh and Montgomery. Rupp's His. Eel. Denom.
U. S., pp. 663-667.—ÄMjojo's His. Berks Co., pp. 222, 427.—For a full
account see Chapter Schwenckfelders, in Rupp^s History of the Germans
in Pennsylvania.
Here it may be noted, that these were not the first Schwenckfelders
in Pennsylvania. September 18, 1733, a number of them arrived at
Philadelphia, in the brigantine Pennsylvania Merchant; among these
were Johann Klemm, Gottlob Klemm, Georg Scholtz, David Scholtz.
It would appear they remained for some time in Philadelphia. Mr.
von Beck in his Reise-Diarium von Ebenezer in Georgia nach den Nordländern,
under date, Philadelphia, June 6, 1734, says: "Here are of
all denominations and sects: Lutherans, Reformed, Episcopals, Presbyterians,
Catholics, Quakers, Tunkers, Mennonites, Sabbatherians,
Seventh-day Baptists, Seperatists, Böhmists, Schwenckfeldians, Tuchfeldtians,
Eucthelists, Jews andPagans, &c." Ulsperger News, I, p.l56.
