Immigration to Pennsylvania

Peter and his family arrived in Philadelphia in September 1741 on the ship Lydia. The following Wampflers were listed on the ship: Hans Peter Wampfler, 40 years of age. Hans Peter Wampfler, 18 years of age. Hans Michel Wampfler, 16 years of age. The ages are consistent with Peter's sons' baptism dates.^[4]

By 26 September 1743 Peter was apparently living in the Swatara community in northern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.^[5]

By 7 January 1746 Peter had moved his family 5 miles to the southwest to the Quittapahilla community in Lebanon Township, Lancaster County.^[6]

Peter died in early 1749 in Lebanon Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His widow, Veronica, applied to administer his estate on 24 April 1749. Their sons Michael and Peter Wampler were her bondsmen. Bond was set at £300. Six days later Peter's estate was inventoried and appraised by Adam Ulrich and Hans Brechbiel. Peter’s personal estate was valued £184.12.0.^[7]
