History of the Stutzman Family by Dr. R.H. Stutzman, Tower City, PA: " In 1727 Johann Jacob Stutzman, in company of fifty-two other families set sail from Rotterdam in the ship "Adventurer", Captain John Davies, and landed in New York (sic Philadelphia according to other references above) October 2, of that year. Traditions are usually found to be based upon fact, and, peculiarly enough, have the strange faculty of proving themselves. It has been handed down from generation to generation that our first ancestor set sail with his family but that his wife and all his children save two, Christian and Jacob, die on board ship. Johann Jacob did not have sufficient money to pay his passage and "bound out" his two sons as "indentured" servants to pay therefor. It is said that he then returned to the old country, and no records, other than his passage, have been found of Johann Jacob. On January 17, 1773, a Christian Stutzman received a warrant from the Lords Penn for 100 acres of land in Bern Twp, (now Berks County). This land was sold by Christian in 1756(?) without the joiner of a wife, to John Yoder. This Christian was probably the son of Johann Jacob, his wife having probably died, and for that he had children is certain, since Christian Stutsman, Sr. and Christian Stutsman, Jr. appear on the tax assessment lists for Pine Grove Township, then Berks County in 1779 and 1781, each owning 100 acres of land."
