About Johan Phillip Kruessler

Immigrated to the United States due to persecution in Germany in 1710.



Johann Phillip Kruessler was born at Guntersblum, Niederneisen, Germany; in 1670; and baptized at Flacht-on-the-Aar in Nassau, Germany on January 26, 1679 (another source says August 26, 1672).

Johann Phillip Kreussler married Anna Caterina Braun (daughter of Benedict Braun) circa 1726. Anna was a teacher at Udenheim, and two children were indentured to the English Crown, in order to have the funds to emigrate to the New World.

His neighbor, Gerhert Schaeffer of Hilbert in the Lahnthal, signed the papers as witness to Johann Phillip Kruessler's good character. Three warships of the royal navy transported them to New York.

The Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration by Walter Allen Knittle, PhD and printed in Philadelphia by Dorrance and Company, shows the Crysler family as embarking in the Third Party from June 5 to June 10, 1709. In this book, they are listed as "Johannes Griesler, wife and three children."
