It is almost certain that this Simon or an older relative emigrated from a Germanic region of Europe to Philadelphia in October of 1737 on the bilander Townsend. The emigrant’s name is listed as “Simon Ersame” on the passenger list. Simon was on the Captain’s list and was also recorded on the list of men who took the oath of allegiance to England.
