| Notes for Hans Dewalt (Spouse 1) | ||
| From All Leatherman Kin: ... "The first Leatherman known to have arrived in America was Hans Dewalt Leatherman accompanied by his family, but the record does not disclose the names of the family members. According to Egle's Immigrants to Pennsylvenia, Hans Dewalt Leatherman was one of about 200 Palatine passengers who arrived at Philadelphia on the shop James Goodwill, David Crocket master, from Rotterdam last from Portsmouth, qualified Sept. 30, 1727. Pennsylvania Archives, Second Serices, Vol. 17, page 8. First list of foreigners imported. According to I. Daniel Rupp's 30,000 Immigrants, Hans Dewalt Leteman arrived on ship James Goodwill, about 200 persons. The record otherwise with that of Egle. Strassburger and Hinke, "Pennsylvania German Pioneers", official lists of persons arriving in the port of Philaelphia, lists as Palatines" Sip James goodwill, Daid Crockatt, master from Rotterdam qualified Sept. 27, 1727, Tewalt Leatherman, 6 in family. Sept. 27, 1727, Hans Depelt Lederman. Dewald Lederman warrant of survey for 100 acres of land in Philadelphia Co., Pa., May 19, 1736. Pennsylvania Archives, Third Series, Vol. 24, page 29. Since no record of Hans Dewalt Leatherman was found in any other locality, it is supposed that he lived and died in Philadelphia, Co., Pa., but no record of his death nor of any will or estate settlement was discovered. A careful study of available records of land transfers, tax lists, census reports, wills, church records, migrations and locations, claims of kinship, and what not, has resulted in the belief, though unproven, that Daniel, John Peter, Michael, and possibly Nicholaus, may have been sons of Hans De Walt Leatherman, and that Christian, Henry, Godfrey and Nicholas all of Frederick Co., Md., John and Frederick of Washington Co., Pa, Michael of Maryland and late of Jefferson Co., Ky. probably were his grandsons. Since this cannot be unquestionably substantiated, however, they are chronicled, not as his sons and grandsons, but as heads of separate groups or lineages, regardless of the possibility of their having been near blood relatives. Some of them probably were closely related while others, no doubt, were more distantly connected or not at all. Those heading the largest of these groups or lineages, in the order in which they are chronicled, are Elder Daniel Leatherman, Godfrey Leatherman, Nicholas Leatherman, Peter Leatherman, and Jacob Ledterman...."491 (I have listed Hans Dewalt Leatherman as Elder Daniel Leatherman's father - but I agree with the note about this not being substantiated. - SFM) | ||
