They came to America September 16, 1738 on the "Queen Elizabeth", securing passage at Rotterdam, with Alexander Hope, Commander. They had two children with them. They stopped at Deal, England, to refuel and obtain their last provisions for the trip. Anna Maria may have been expecting since it is thought a son, Peter, was born about 1738/1739. . . . Heinrich had some education as he wrote his name on the ship's register when he landed in Philadelphia. Heinrich learned of land in the Valley of Virginia through friends and promoters.
