My guy never served out his indenture. He was cut loose along with the other Germans which some British Lord had dragged over here and was unable to feed. Went to upstate NY and pioneered.

When was that ???

The 3,000 Palatine-Germans that Queen Anne sent here in 1710 were to cut down pine trees and make pitch and tar to seal the wooden English warships...but the pine trees grew further south in the Carolinas..they were in West Camp, NY

They were mostly farmers and ended up across the Hudson in Schorie and German Flatts..

Mine ended up in Herkimer County on the Mohawk..
