As a supplement to the previous note, I submit the following. The genealogy of John Young was taken from B. C. Holtzclaw, “ Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau-Siegen Immigrants to Virginia 1714-1750 ", published by the Germanna Foundation .
John Young (Johannes Jung) arrived at Philadelphia on 23 Sept 1734, on the ship Hope, Daniel Reid, Master, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes. This information comes from “ A Collection of Upwards of Thirty Thousand Names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French Immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776, etc. ”, by Prof. I. Daniel Rupp, reprinted by the Gen. Publ. Co. in Baltimore in 1965. (It might be noted that two names away from Johannes Jung was Johannes Nöh. There were also a Richter, a Hoffman, a Fischbach, and an Otterbach.) There was a Harmon Jung, under sixteen years of age. No mention was made of the women, and it is an assumption that Anna Maria (wife) and Mary Gertrude and Elizabeth (daughters) were included. As I have emphasized in some of the recent notes, these assumptions about the women and children may not be true.
The comments about the Moravian missionaries came from the “ Virginia Magazine of History of Biography ”, in a series of articles, starting in January 1904. The transcribers and translators were Rev. William J. Hinke and Charles E. Kemper. The original diaries were written in the decade of the 1740's in German, and are now stored in the Archives at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The work of Hinke and Kemper was used in an article in “ Beyond Germanna ” in Vol. 10, n.3 issue on page 564ff, for an article about the Moravian missionaries and what they said about the Germans in Virginia.
As to the location of Seelbach relative to Trupbach, a detailed road map such as “ Superatlas Deutschland 2001/2001 " on a scale of 1:200,000 illustrates their placement. For a picture of the two villages of Trupbach and Seelbach, see the example at http://www.germanna.com/LP.htm on the laminated photo page. This was taken was a Nikon N70 camera with a Tamron 28-200 mm lens, using Kodak Gold 200 film. The exposure was f16, 1/100 second. The exposure was witnessed by Lars Bohn and Eleanor Blankenbaker.
I am going to make this short as I am tired. I have been shoveling snow for a few hours today. My doctor, Dr. Anne Bowen, of Chester County Primary Care in West Chester, Pennsylvania, recommends exercise but I do not think this is what she had in mind.
