THE SHIP BROTHERS to PHILADELPHIA - 30 SEPTEMBER 1754


Transcribed by Richard Folkerth

Signatures to the Oath of Abjuration

Sequence Number (added during transcription); Given Name; Surname; Age (from List A)



Notes

1. This list is based on the reading of the actual hand-written signature lists by the author of Pennsylvania German Pioneers; Ralph Beaver Strassburger.

2. The order in which the immigrants signed the list probably is important, but the actual meaning is not known to me.

3. Signature numbers were assigned when this list was prepared in January, 2001.

4. Parentheses are used to enclose the mark made by those who could not write, as in the (H) for Casper Knag, #100.

5. A clerk was present to record the names of those who could not write. The clerks for List B and C were different people, based on the handwriting. These clerks probably had some knowledge of German.
