from Source:Learned, 1908, with some reorganization to improve readability.
 Red dot marks location of Krefeld, blue dot that of Frankfurt | ...under date[s] of January 24, 1682/3, May 15, 1683, May 18, 1683, Claypoole speaks of the prospective German passengers of the Concord as "Franckfordrs" "Ffranckfurtrs," [and] "26 Ffranckfords".
- Cf. letter of May 15, 1683 : "So it will be yett about 6 weeks, before wee leave England, which thou mayst advise ye Ffranckfurtrs, that they may be
ready against the tyme," etc.
- Letter of May 18, 1683: "as J have advised thee in my last that we were lymited to the 30th next month to be ready to sayle from Gravesend so that if the Pfrandcfords do intend to goe in our ship they must be at Gravesend by that time," etc.
- Letter of June 5, 1683. "J understand the people from Crevelt have agreed to goe in our ship and so have 287 Rthlr to remit thee for ^ their freit," etc
It is not till the letter of June 5, 1683, that we hear of them as "the people from Crevelt." This letter shows that Furly had sent a list of thirty-three persons (the socalled Crefelders) to Claypoole. From this time on we find no further mention of the Frankfurters, which seems
to indicate clearly that the great things expected of the Frankfurters or the German Company in the banning of the correspondence were left for the Crefelders to carry out.
After the long and annoying delays recited in the letters of Claypoole, the Crefelders finally set sail from Gravesend and arrived at Philadelphia on the 6th (or 16th, New Style) of October, 1683. They numbered thirteen families, thirty-three full passengers in all. Their names are given by Pastorius as follows:
|
- Dirck op den Graeff ,
- Abraham op den Graeff ,
- Herman op den Graeff,
- Lenert Arets,
- Thones Kunders,
- Reinert Tisen,
- William Strepers,
- Jan Lensen,
- Peter Keurlis,
- Jan Simen,
- Johannes Bleickers,
- Abraham Tunis, and
- Jan Luken.
On the 12th of October, 1683, six days after the arrival of the Crefelders, Penn issued a warrant to Pastorius in behalf of the German and Dutch purchasers for 6,000 acres of land on the east side of the Schuylkill.

The following list identifies 32 settlers who apparently came on the Concord to settle what became Germantown. This includes 13 heads of household. Most of the remaining 18 passengers were family members of their households. Some, (i.e.,Elizabeth Bennett, Hugh Masland, and Ciciley Wooley) were servants to James Claypoole.
