Conrad and 15,000 other Palatines left their homeland and traveled west to the Rhine River, and then down the Rhine into the Netherlands. First to London and then to America.

When the Germans were in dispute with their English landlords and the colonial government of New York, he was among the representatives chosen to go to London and seek help from the British government.
