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..
I’m checking with my brother now, but IIRC it was later than 1710 but before the Revolutionary War.
“Mine ended up in Herkimer County on the Mohawk..”
Any relation to Johan Joseph House = Hans Yost Haus?
