The 1788list

An interesting paper in the Knox Papers [Vol 50], is the following:

"A List of the Persons Names who have Demands on Waldo's Heirs for their Land, according to Promises in Germany."

This is a list that names 147 persons "who have Demands on Waldo's Heirs" in 1788. Coming close to 1790, the year of the first Census, it me.y be helpful to augment the ~.790 census as well as identify a few more individuals who came to Broad Bay, but did not stay.

A careful study of this document shows that by 1788, about 1/3 of the persons named have already died, so it cannot have been made by the individuals themselves, but rather some interested parties probably contacted the survivors and took names of individuals who came from Germany from 1744 to 1754.

A helpful item, but not always accurate was that the year of entry into Broad Bay was listed after their names, but not always. e.g. Franck Miller 53, John Kiblinger 50.

Also, instead of the year 1742, the year 1744 was consistently given for that first group of emigrants into Broad Bay. But it does give additional names for the 1742 emigration and lists my HEILER family in one of the few times it has appeared.

Michael Heiler 44, Joachim Heiler 44, Conrad Heiler 44.

It also shows Conrad Heyer as coming to Broad Bay in 1752 (See Gary's article re: Conrad.)

This list needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but coming only 35 years after the event, it does need to be studied. We find the following names, usually not associated with Broad Bay. This is not a full list:

John Zigler 52 Christian Engel__ old Engel 53 Engel son-in-law Andrew Stahl 52 (anyone know him?) Adam Fluemann 52 Michael Moser 50 John Kiblinger and John Kiblinger jr, both 50 John Strates 51 Jacob Schaffer 53 Widow werd 52 Mathias Shaeffer 44 (and others)

Anyone interested in these above names? Please get in touch. We need your help.
