List 189 C] Ketty (Snow) Captain: Theophilus Barnes From: Rotterdam By Way of: Portsmouth Arrival: Philadelphia, 16 Oct 1752
In writing a history of the town of Edenkoben, Alfred Hans Kuby (with the help of Fritz Braun) found that 26 of the 74 families on this passenger list came from the town of Edenkoben and surrounding villages. He published an article about the origins of the passengers on this list, "Die Leute von der Snow 'Ketty' [The people on the Snow Ketty]" in Karl Scherer's Pfälyer-Palatines (Kaiserslautern: Heimatstelle Pfalz, 1981), pp. 79-95. References to this source will be listed below as Kub1981. Ten of these families were descendants of Swiss emigrants to the region. |
