A great opportunity for us to embark on some locally focused PR. -

Palatine's Progress a Pilgrim's Faith Crossing The
Palatine’s Progress A Pilgrim’s Faith Crossing the Sea By Beth Bradford-Pytel At different periods throughout history, various causes and motives have induced Germans to abandon their homeland to start a new life elsewhere. Post the 30 Years War of the mid 1600’s, thousands of Palatine* Pilgrims left their homelands due to religious and political oppression driving them to the new world of Colonial America. William Penn’s Pennsylvania was a very attractive colony for these refugees. Being a Quaker, Penn knew first hand of the religious persecution. He was the son of Sir William Penn Sr., Royal Naval Admiral, member of the House of Commons, and entrepreneur. King George II owed Penn Sr. a large sum of money which was still outstanding when he died in 1670. William Penn leveraged his father’s outstanding accounts with the Crown to secure a huge track of land in the new world on March 4, 1681 and subsequently worked out a deal with Queen Anne of England paving the way for the Palatine migration to Penn’s Woods. William Penn and his fellow Quakers heavily imposed their religious values upon the early colonial government and in 1701, established the Charter of Privileges which extended religious freedom to everyone in Pennsylvania. Source: Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration by Walter Allen Knittle, Phd., Dorrance & Co., Inc. Philadelphia, 1937. https://archive.org/stream/earlyeighteenthc00knit/earlyeighteenthc00knit_djvu.txt *Palatine - defined as a persecuted Protestant who emigrated from the upper and lower Palatinate areas of Germany in the 17th century to Pennsylvania. From 1682 to 1776, Pennsylvania was the central point of emigration for the Palatine Pilgrims of Germany, France and Switzerland. -
