Facts and Events
Came to America in 1729 on the ship "Allen" with wife and the two younger children. From Alice M. Beard RootsWeb's World Connect Project: The book "A History of the Berman Baptist Brethren in Europe and America," by G. M. Brumbaugh, page 61, notes Jorich Hoffart as being among members of the Church who were baptized in Europe and who came to America with Alexander Mack, considered the founder of the German Baptist Brethren church. Alexander Mack is also listed as a passenger on the ship "Allen." The name Jorich variously appears as any of the following: Yerrick, Jerg, Jrg, Yerg, or Jorick. Following the German custom, Hans Jorich would not often have used the first name "Hans."
