• Notes

  Adam and his family and his son Philip and his family came to the US in 1837. They left Egelsbach on Sunday, June 4th, 1837, (Sunday being chosen that relatives and friends might assemble to bid them goodby perhaps.) After elevern days of travel by boat, they arrived at Bremen where it was necessary to wait 23 days before sailing. They then took passage on a sailing vessel called Clarmondena, carrying 200 or 300 passengers, and spent the next 49 days on the ocean. Arriving in NY, they proceeded at once to Albany by boat up the Hudson, to Schenectady by railroad, from there to Syracuse and Oswego by canal.
