[John Philip is number 1.1.
The elder brother, John Michael, came to America in 1728. Brother John Philip was not on that passenger list. He waited in Rotterdam another year, sailing on June 20, 1729 on the very same vessel, the "Mortonhouse", making its next round to America. He arrived in Philadelphia on August 19, 1729, after a voyage of fifty-five days. No one knows for sure why both young men did not come at the same time. Romance may have been at stake, since a year later, John Philip brought with him a young bride, Anna Barbara Schumacher. Perhaps there was a rule that only married couples would be given passage. Or was the ship list overcrowded because of the unexpected passengers picked up at Mannheim and was John Philip the one for whom there was no room. Or did he not have the necessary fare. (It was estimated that it took a minimum of $176.00 for the passage.)
A year later, John Philip and his bride were given about 243 acres adjacent to the east: Titles were granted to them in 1734 and 1751. These two farms, having been divided by 1978 in about 12 smaller farms, lie just southeast of New Holland, extending eastward past Blue Ball and East Earl to a tiny community called Fettersville, between PA.
