His wife,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Anna Margaretha Pfalzgraf, died at sea. Of the 412 passengers on that ship, 250 died! The story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; is written in Annette Burgert's "Eighteenth Century Immigrants from the Northern Alsace". Also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; a writeup in "The Palatine Immigrant", Winter 1990/91, page 180, incl a sketch of the ship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Anna Margaretha's death at sea is quite well documented. "According to several records, including&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; those of the Oley Hill Church, Berks County, Anna Margaretha Pfalzgraf died at sea on the voyage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; to America with her husband, Johann Jacob Kuntz, in 1738; she died in childbirth with an unnamed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; child. The Alsatian (France) records show that all of Johann Jacob Kuntz's children were born in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Neiderbronn, Alsace, France, just over the border from Germany."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; John George Paltzgraff first arrived in Philadelphia on 9-11-1732 on the ship &amp;ldquo;Pennsylvania&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Merchant&amp;rdquo; along with John George Kuntz. This is our George and it seems to me that this is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; evidence that these two families were closely connected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; John George Paltzgraff returned to Germany with his in-law, Phillip Emmert, to settle some&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; family business and they returned to Philadelphia on the ship &amp;ldquo;St. Mark&amp;rdquo; on 9-26-1741. His&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; name was spelled Pfalzgraf on the ship passenger list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; We know that our George was over 16 years of age in 1732 when he first arrived. If he was a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; son of John Jacob and Greta, I believe he should have been born about 1690-1710. His wife was&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Anna Maria Barbara Kamp(-en), baptized 10-6-1715, daughter of Kaspar Kamp and Anna&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Catharina Franck. They immigrated between 1715 and 1717. I haven&amp;rsquo;t found the record yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; I don&amp;rsquo;t know how old George was when he died. His will was probated in 1759. His wife,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Barbara, married (2) a man named Leonard Drumbower (several variants of this name).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt; Children of George and Barbara: John George, 1735-1738; Christina, 1737; md.
