In 1709 Hans and seven other Mennonites bought 10,000 acres of land in Pennslyvania from William Penn. Sailed from Gravesend, England in April 29, 1710. Landed in Philadelphia, in Sept 1710. Name of the ship : Mary Hope, Mastered by John Annis.

In 1711 brethren Join the Peqnea Colony of 1710. According to Rupp, it would seem that as soon as the winter of 1710-11 was passed, the Pequea colonists sent one of their members back to the Old Country to bring on members of their family who were left behind. Rupp described very vividly (pages 80 and 81) how this came about. Quoting from a source which he does not mention he says that before the ground brought forth its first crop they made preparations to bring the balance of their families over, and that after the lot fell to Hans Herr it was decided that Martin Kendlg should take his place, and that he accordingly went abroad and brought a company of Swiss and Germans back with him. He tells us that the party consisted of the balance of families already here and of Peter Yordea, Jacob Miller, Hans Tchantz, Henry Funk, John Hauser, John Bachman, JACOB WEBER and three others whose Christian names are not given.

Is described as "of medium height, with long grey hair curled under at the ends and parted in the middle, ...heavy brows, dark hazel eyes, aqualine nose, small mouth with heavy lips, complexion florid, with full beard covering face, the whole lighted by a countenancein wich sweetness and austerity were gracefully blended. Clad in coursest homespun, his feet shod with wood, he at last arrived in the far off land in wich some strange prophecy told him his people would be prosperous and happy, however poor when arriving. The family of Herr descended from a very ancient free family, that is to say of noble origin; likewise from time immorial its Knights were brave and worthy. Possessing in Schaben vasat and rich estates, the name of which was called and written (Herr(n) von Bilried. The father or founder of this family was known as the Schwabish knight Hugo the Herr, Lord of Bilried. In the year 1009, this family flourished and was known to all among the Southern Germanic tribes. In the fifteenth century several of the family resigned their nobility due to changing religious beliefs and settled as citizens and assumed the name of Herr (a title of respect in Germany). ( C.H. Martin, paper read before the Lancaster county Historical Society, 1925.)

Hans Herr - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Herr (September 17, 1639 – October 11, 1725) was born in Zürich, Switzerland, a descendant of the Knight, Hugo Herr. He joined the religious society. He was a bishop in the Mennonite faith.

When religious persecution became unendurable in Switzerland, many of his congregation emigrated with him to the Palatinate in Germany, which was governed by a ruler who promised them protection and religious freedom. This was satisfactory until the Palatinate fell into the hands of other rulers, when the Mennonites were again subject to severe religious persecution.

When this occurred, a number of them visited William Penn in London, in 1707, and arranged terms with him to colonize a portion of what is now Lancaster county near what was then the western frontier of Pennsylvania. In 1709, Hans Herr, John R. Bundely, Martin Meylin (Mylin), Martin Kendig, Jacob Miller, Hans Funk, Hans Graff (Groff), Martin Oberholtzer, Wendel Bowman and others bought 10,000 acres (40 km²) of land on the south side of Pequea creek. A warrant was issued for the land October 10, 1710, and it was surveyed October 23, 1710.[1]

Married Elizabeth Kendig in 1660. (First son Abraham born the same year.

Lived in the Kraichgau, an area of the Palatinate in Germany, often called the Pfaltz. They had moved there by invitation from Switzerland. Because Anabaptists did not bear arms, and baptized adults, the Catholic Church called them heretics. Because they had been persecuted, Anabaptists had to take land other people didn't want. They learned to make the best use of mountain land and swamps. It was because of their reputation as good farmers and their willingness to work hard that Anabaptists were invited to the Palatinate after the terrible destruction of the Thirty Years War. The burned-out buildings were all that were left of what had once been houses and barns. The fields were overgrown with weeds because at least half of the Palatinate residents had been killed during the terrible war. The Anabaptists were invited by the Elector Count Karl Ludwig to come and rebuild the houses and barns and restore the land before it was completely overgrown. After 12 years of cultivation, another war broke out in 1701, and by 1703, it was becoming apparent by the persecution that was happening that they would need to think of moving to America or somewhere else. Because of his age, Rev. Hans Herr was reluctant to immigrate, but was convinced to come when his children could not find a younger minster to come along. On September 22, 1710, the ship Mary Hope arrived in Philadelphia. At long last their journey to America was at an end, after three months and four days. A memorial in the Willow Street Mennonite Cemetery, Willow Street, PA, where Hans Herr is presumed to have been buried was erected by a Herr reunion group. His son, Christian, and his sons built the house known today as the "Hans Herr House" 1849 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, PA. Rev. Hans Herr initially lived in Lampeter, but was asked to move in with into his son, Christian's, "much larger home".

Married Elizabeth Kendig in 1660.

From: "A Biographical History of Lancaster County" by Alexander Harris 1832

""John Herr came to this country in 1710, bringing with him his four sons, and others of his friends; he had five sons married, Abraham, Christian, Emanuel, John, and Isaac. Christian had come to this country before the rest of his family.

Abraham Herr was the oldest, and came with his father in 1710. He was married in Europe and had a large family, some of his children being grown and married. He settled near Wabank, on the west side of the Conestoga Creek. He was the only one of the family that settled in Manor Township, and having several children grown when he came there, the family became very numerous.

"Christian Herr was a minister of the Mennonite Church, and was the first of the family in this country. He came with Martin Kendig, John Mylin, and others in the year 1709. They were pleased with this country, and concluded to send for the rest of their friends. They therefore cast lots, who should go, and the lot fell on Christian, their minister; they no wishing him to go, Margtin Kendig offered to go, and in 1710, brought over the rest of the Herr family and others. Christian built a house of sandstone in 1719, half a mile west of Willow Street, where it yet stands, with his name and date upon it, now in possession of David Huber. Christian had three sons, John, Christian, and Abraham.

The tradition, which is no doubt true, is that these people held a conference as to what steps should be taken to inform their relatives and friends left behind in Europe of their opinions and expectations, and it was determined that Hans Herr, their revered minister, should return, explain the situation and the great advantaged of emigration, and bring with him those he could induce to come.
