*[Ja, aber nur bis morgen.] (See the last note for the lead-in to this.)
Michael Clore was in the Headright List and was sued. The List shows him, the wife, and three children for a total of five.
Michael Cook and his wife are in the Headright List and he was sued by Spotswood. He also applied for Headrights, stating that he came in 1717 with his wife. Count as two.
Jacob Crigler was sued by Spotswood. He had the honor of being the first sued, but the suit was dismissed early. Let’s assume he was a bachelor and count as one.
Cyriacus Fleshman came with his wife, Anna Barbara, and two children, Peter and Catherine, who are all named in the Headright List. He was sued, though the suit was dismissed. Count as four.
John Harnsberger applied for a Headright, saying he came with wife and son in 1717. Count as three.
Michael Holt’s lawsuit was dismissed. It is believed that he was a bachelor, as he later married one of the Scheible girls. Count as one.
Michael Kaefer was a bachelor. No other members of a family are mentioned in the Headright List. (His sister, Apollonia, was the wife of Nicholas Blankenbaker. Later, he married Anna Maria (Blankenbaker) Thomas.) Count as one.
Andrew Kerker stated he came in 1717 in his Headright application with his wife and daughter. Count as three.
I have my doubts about George Long and his wife Rebecca. It is true that he said in 1729 that he came “about twelve years earlier in the ship called the Mulberry”. His land patent was later than those of the known Second Colony. The ship has the wrong name and all of the dates suggest he came in the contingent which followed the first of the Second Colony. If so, the name of the ship may be the one which brought the 1719 group. Count as zero.
John Motz, in his Headright application, stated he came in 1717 with his wife Maria “Pelona”. Count as two.
In this note we have added 22 names to the 1717 group. In the last note we had 17 for a total of 39 so far.
