THIRD MIGRATION, 12 SEP 1734

Ship list from the Saint Andrew, John Stedman, Master, from Rotterdam, Netherlands, but last from Plymouth, England, as per Clearance thence. Qualified Sept. 12, 1734 at Philadelphia, PA

The third and main migration began Tuesday, April 20, 1734, when the first family left Berthelsdorf, Germany.  The emigrants embarked on the Elbe River for Altona, Denmark, on April 28, and on May 20 reached their destination.  On June 21 they embarked on the ship Saint Andrew, and on July 29, Plymouth, England, was reached.  They first saw land of the New World on September 17, and on September 22 the actual landing in Philadelphia took place.

Palatines imported in the Ship, Saint Andrew, John Stedman, Master, from Rotterdam, Netherlands, but last from Plymouth, England, as per Clearance thence.  Qualified Sept. 12, 1734 [Old Style] at Philadelphia, PA.

The spelling in this Stedman’s True List is a marked departure from the original – Wiegner, Hübner, Kriebel, Jäckel, Hoveman, Reynald, Weys, and Meyster.  Apparently the clerk, who seemingly was unfamiliar with Germanic orthography, wrote the names phonetically as they were dictated by Captain Stedman.  The names of Eva Heydrick [F 51], Maria Yeakel [F 68], Abraham Yeakel [F 208], George Yeakel [E 209], immigrants, do not appear in the Stedman list, and are, therefore, placed last in the list as possibly being open to question.

In this list, the spelling of Stedman’s True List are followed.
