Let's turn the tables and not ask from which village each of the immigrants came at the time of emigration, but let's list the villages and see who came from that village. This initial sorting job may be incomplete and inaccurate, so speak up if you can improve it.
In preparing this list, I did not count multiple names, e.g., the Fischbach family which left Trupbach consisted of the father and two older sons who soon married in Virginia.
It is very difficult to tell where any of these families lived. Where they lived, where they were married, and where they had children baptized may be different places. I believe that some of the local historians in Trupbach can identify the houses where some of the families above lived. The house of the Rectors was known, but it was destroyed by a bomb during WWII.
Had the ship Oliver been successful in bringing its passengers safely to Virginia, Freudenberg would have contributed the most heads of families to the First Colony, including its later additions. There were eighteen families counting single men as a family. Next in the line are Trupbach and Eisern.
The "towns" above were small; only Siegen was good sized, but only one family was living there when the decision to emigrate was made. Johann Justus Albrecht had to travel around some as he was recruiting people to join Graffenried's mining venture, but the villages were not far apart.
