Hello. I've just come back to this forum after a while. Does anyone have connections to Knowlton, New Jersey? I have Zimmermans and Winterstein surnames which hail from there who came to Ontario in the 1700s. I am slowly learning about this subject, but it will have to take a back seat to my current courses...

Hi, my family also came on a 1710 ship. Last name was Becker. That name was changed once they got here. They settled in the Hudson Valley in New York. Any info out there on them? There are several of the original old stone houses still here. My father moved out of one when he was 16 years old.

I am descended from at least 27 families of the 1710 Palatine migration, including Bauch, Berg, Dopff, Eckhard, Emichen/Empie, Faeg, Finck, Fuchs, Herner/Hoerner, Homburger, Haber/Hawver, Kast, Keyser, Kuhlmer, Kuhn, Krembs/Grembs, Landgraff, Loscher/Lasher, Mowers (could be Moor, Mohr, or Maurers, not sure yet), Rautenbausch/Rau, Richter, Schneider, Stahl, Schnell/Snell, Schultheiss, Wies, Winninger/Winegar. One went to Tulpehocken, a few stayed near Livingtone Manor, some moved on to Schoharie, and the rest settled Stone Arabia. The descendants of those that stayed in New York eventually migrated to Wisconsin in the early 1840s, settling in the southeastern corner of the state: Kenosha and Racine Counties, and also Rock and Walworth Counties.

I am researching Christopher (Christoffell) Turnpaugh (Dornbach) (abt 1735 - abt 21 Aug 1805) who resided in the area surrounding York, PA before acquiring land in Baltimore County, MD (1762). He is my 4xgreat grandfather.

My ancestor may have arrived earlier. His name was Johannes Volentin Preslar b 1669 died after 1742. This family name has many variations and some believe he was an ancestor of Elvis Pressley. They eventually migrated to NC and then to TN.

Descended from five Palatine families. The one with the closest connection is Haus/House. Last I looked they were not included in the Palatine DNA project.
