Jacobus Schnell

[https://immigrantships.net/v4/1700v4/simmendinger17100100M_Z.html] "One of the Germans, Ulrich Simmendinger by name, migrated with these groups to New York; (37) and having lost his two children in England, he and his wife, Anna Margaretta, returned to their fatherland about 1717. Shortly thereafter he published a little booklet, giving an account of this experiences and containing a list of those people he had left behind in New York. For this reason it is valuable in the study of that emigration. Simmendinger says that assuredly his friends would no think he made this hazardous trip for excitement and adventure, particularly with his wife and children. His resolution was made under the paternal necessity of providing for his own wife and children. He says nothing of religious persecution. "

" This register was originally prepared by Ulrich Simmendinger after his return to Germany from the colonies, where he had been part of the Palatine migration for seven years. The names given are all who were living in 14 early New York settlements at the time of his departure in 1717. It is assumed most of these were passengers of a fleet of 10 ships 3000 people, leaving England January 1710."
