This workshop began with a passenger list for this voyage and sought:
I started this page because it appears my ancestor may be Hanss David Edelmann, citizen of Rott, Alsace, who came to America on this voyage with his wife, son, daughter, son-in-law and a member of the son-in-laws family.
My main interest is my Edelmann roots in Alsace, but I am just as interested in the conditions of life then and their daily lives. Since we are not likely to find all the information about this voyage that we seek, I welcome general information as a way to understand the details of what this voyage may have been like.
November 2, 1752
Philadelphia, November 23 (sic?)
Since our last, arrived here Capt. Honor from Holland with about 500 Germans.
We hear from Reading, in the County of Berks, that HIS MAJESTY's Birth Day was kept there in a very joyful, decent and loyal Manner; and that at Night the Town was hansomely illuminated and all the Powder that could be got expend on the Occafion.
There followed a list of the snows, sloops, ships, schooners, brigs, lefters in and out of custom at Philadelphia. The vessels were to or from Liverpool, Boston, Pifsataqua, Maderia, Virginia, N. Carolina, N. York, St Chriftopers, Barbados, Leogan, W. Indies, Coleraine, Jamaica, Rotterdam, R. Island, and St. Euftatia. These were the spellings used in the newspaper.
The above is from the Robert P. Addleman's book The American Addlemans (1991, out of print). Can we find some American and Alsacean Newspapers of 1733 to give us some idea of the Voyage of the Richard and Elizabeth?
A List of the Passengers imported in the Brigantine Richard and Elizabeth, Captain Christopher Clymer, from Rotterdam and Plymouth, Sept. 28, 1733 (From Names of Foreigners who took the Oath of Allegiance and Pennsylvania German Pioneers)
* = took oath of allegiance; if spelling of name differs, the name in ( ) is from the oaths of allegiance spelling. Numbers are age of the person.
The letters m, w, b, g before the age are for man, woman, boy, girl. When I got the list it was in four parts and I added the gender prefix to the ages because in two instances the person's age was too great to be a girl. Also some names might not indicate gender. -- Harold Eddleman
The ship list (men, women, boys, girls), and the notes from Burgert's book were provided by William Rodney Eddleman. The lists did not indicate family relationships. I merely grouped the names together as possible families. The notation wife? in the list may not be true. The woman could be some other relative. The man I have indicated as the husband might, instead, be a brother or other relative of the husband. I hope readers will be able to comfirm or disprove some of these proposed relationships.

is related to the Edelmann family by marriage, then the Bausser family

Hello Harold
Having just visited your website again and seeing the church records of
Rott and Steinseltz apparently have been filmed by the LDS, I was wondering
if anyone had checked them out yet. If they are records of the Catholic
Church, I wouldn't think the Bowsers and Eddlemans would be found in them.
Whether there were Reformed Churches in the area I wouldn't have any idea.
Thanks,

I think I saw this a while back where someone else showed Mathias Bowser
wife's maiden name Esther "Borth". Where did this come from?
As far as I know, no record exists of his marriage, her maiden name was
not given in the ship's passenger lists, etc.; so how would anyone know
what her maiden name was? What is the source of this information. Can it

My 5th great grandfather, Marcus Bigler, arrived in Philadelphia on the
Richard and Elizabeth on Sept. 28, 1733. It is thought that he too may
have come from Alsace, and that the Bigler family originated in Switzerland.
He eventually settled in Pipe Creek, Fredrick County, Maryland. He had
one child mentioned in Lutheran Church records in Pennsylvania but was
later affiliated with the German Baptist Brethren Church and with a minister
by the name of Daniel Leatherman. In your Edelemann/Addelman research have
you come across any mention of Marcus (Marx) Bigler? He also had a brother
by the name of Michael who immigrated in 1741. Do you have access to "A

Hello,
I am a descendant of Hans Peter Harmon. I believe there were two Jacob
Harmons on the Richard and Elizabeth. Perhaps Jacob Hennel?
I believe this because of later wills and the ages of the children. I'm
inclined to believe Catherine was a second wife of the older and the younger
has lost his wife. Anyway, in a few days I will be more able to tell what
is going on [I hope] I am very glad to make contact. I did not know the
date or the name of the ship until I found you on the internet. Thanks
for the help. Jacob Harmon is my 4th greatgrandfather thru his son Han
Peter Harmon. Jacob died in Rockingham Co., VA about 1764. He donated the
land for Peak Mountain Lauthern Church in Rockingham Co., VA. I feel sure
these infants were of different Harmon families. It may be a while before
I can make sense of it because they were still naming the children the
same names two and three generations later . That sometimes makes it easier
to identify the families but difficult to know who goes where. I am pleased
to be added to you list. Hopefully I will find long lost "cousins".

he came to the United States at the age of 19, sailing from Rotterdam on
the Richard and Elizabeth, arriving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
on September 28, 1733. I believe he settled in York, Pennsylvania. I am
somewhat familiar with his history once he arrived in this country. If
you have come across any history on Johannes ROSENSTIEL, possibly ROSENSTEEL,

Baltazar Edelman " 4
Anna Elizabeth (nee Edelmann) Bowser " 20
Bousser is the spelling found in the church records
These ages suggest David may be the father of
Philip Jacob, but these could all be siblings or cousins. What you think?
How can we determine? There have been instances where pastor notes have
resolved such qüstions. Does anyone have access to any church records
related to these families?
Records of First Reformed Church of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Births:
1737 John David Edelman s. of Jacob; b. Dec 1, 1730; bapt. May 15, 1737
1739 Anna Margret, dau. of Matthew Bauser and Anna Elizabeth Edelman
baptised May 12, 1739 shows Bauser is correct spelling
1739 David son of Mathew Bauser and Anna Eliz. Edelman, bapt. May12,1739 shows wife of Mathew Bauser was an Edelman maybe dau of David of Steinseltz. It also appears that this family did not use the Edelmann nn spelling
Insert here other records of the above church to aid our study.
In 1957, William H. Eddleman, recognized Anna Elizabeth Bowers was an Edelmann by examining the above church records. This suggests we should print the entire ship list here and look for relationships which might help us learn more about Edelmann by looking at related families.
Pastor Theo Pfrimmer, Cleebourg, Bas-Rhin, France wrote to William H. Eddleman on 1957 Sep 23, "(The search could) be a little difficult because there have been many wars here since 1750. In 1945 Rott was almost completely destroyed. The situation is as follows: during the Thirty Years' War, Rott, Steinseltz, Oberhoffen, Hunspach, Hoffen, Ingllsheim, Birlenbach, and Keffenach were totally destroyed. At that time they were under Swedish control. Only a few of the inhabitants came back after the Peace of Westphalia. The other people were replaced by Swiss and by Hugenots who had been expelled by Louis XIV. (It is) my opinion the family comes either from the few survivors or from Switzerland because the family name is typical German." (WHE letter of 1959 Mar 4 directs Pastor Pfrimmer to look for 1680 - 1750 records in Rott and Steinselz and any nearby villages, but I have not found any reply or results from Pfrimmer.)
It seems pretty certain that Matthew Bauser (Bowser) married Anna Elizabeth Edelman (as teenagers) in Europe before they came to America, based on birth records of First Reformed Church of Lancaster, PA, see above.

Dear cousins,
Yesterday I threatened to post some records on David Edelman of Zweibrucken, so here goes. The following is partly from "Eighteenth Century Emigrants from the Northern Alsace to America" by Annette Kunselman Burgert (1992, Picton Press, Camden, Maine). This book has 2 of my other emigrant ancestors (Eaker and Mani/Mauney) and also follows several of the other passengers on the Richard and Elizabeth, 1733. (Harold, none of these seem to connect to these Edelmans except the Bauser family, which we already knew about.) There is also a short regional history of the northern Alsace. I have supplemented with information I picked up from other sources, including a recent posting to ROOTS-L requesting information on this family in Maryland. By the way, my confidence that the Lancaster/York Co. Edelman group is the same as those from Baltimore Co., Md. increased when I noticed Jacob Shilling and Frederick Decker mentioned in connnection with both groups. If anyone wants this as an attached file, I can accomodate.
The family arrived on the ship Richard & Elizabeth, 1733. On board were David Edelman (signed with + mark), age 49; Filb (Phillip) Jacob Edelmann (signed name--looks like 2 "n"s to me), age 25; Margaretha Edelman, age 26; Anna Maria Edelman, age 54; Baltasar Edelman, age 4. (I have the complete ship's passenger list--if anyone wants, I can post later.)

I am seaching for information regarding the HAGELBARGER family. This name was believed to have been changed to HUCKLEBERRY following immigration to America. According to, "A list of German Immigrants to the Ameridcan Colonies from Zweibruecken in the Palatinate (1750-1771), edited by Dr. Friedrich Krebs, Archvist Speyer-am-Rhein, Germany (which appears in, "Pennsylvania German Immigrants (1709-1786) - List Consolidated from Yearbooks of The Pennsylvania German Folklore Society" edited by Don Yoder - 1984), Benjamin HAGELBARGER with wife and five children of Rott (southwest of Wissembourg), left for America in 1752 with 16 other families (SPECK, DOPPERT, ZIMMERMANN, HARR, WITTERICH, DIERY, DIERY, MUELLER, RUBB, KERN, KERN, KERN, SEYLER, BARTHEL, SCHMITT and HERRMAN).
The family is believed to have been Lutheran. I am trying to ascertain date and port of departure, ship name, and date and port of arrival. Thanks in advance for any help.
The Thirty Years War (1618-1648).
Notes compiled from the Internet by Harold Eddleman:. Began as German civil
war between Protestants and Catholics. When it appeared the Catholics might
win, Danes, then Swedes, then French came into the war and fought against
the Habsburgs. The power of the Holy Roman Empire was reduced to a shadow.
Germany was ruined and half the people died in the struggle. Local soverigns
were able to determine their own religion but not individuals. Princes
united to drive the swedes out. France became the dominant power in Europe.
Many modern warfare methods were developed: gunpowder, marching, uniforms,
bayonet. Many aspects of modern Europe grew out of the ruins of the war.
I believe some Germans fled to Britain and were later enticed to migrate
to the American Colonies--I am not sure about that.

My ancestor Hanss David EDELMANN left Rott, Alsace, in 1733 and arrived at Philadelphia 28 September 1733 on the ship Richard and Elizabeth. For more information about this family in America see http://www.disknet.com/indiana_biolab/eg907.htm. I am seeking information on his parents. I am also interested in the farming and other conditions of life in Rott and Steinseltz in 1733. I have been told many people of 1733 in Rott might have come from France or Switzerland. Does his name of Edelmann indicate where I should look for his parents? In America, he attended Protestant churches. He was age 49 according to the ship list which gives a birthdate of 1684. I want to add a page of details about Rott in 1733 and before. I can read some French and German.
------------------
Webmaster's Note: Since you decline to specifiy the probable religion of your ancestor, it is not possible to suggest whether the FHL microfilms of Rott church records (1701-1942) or Steinseltz (1685-1792) might be useful. FYI, we specialize in family history, not local or regional history, but perhaps others reading this will offer you some thoughts or references.

Dear Prof. Eddleman,
I have just surfed myself right into your fascinating web page on the voyage of the Richard and Elizabeth.
My 6th great grandfather, Johan Youst (Yost) Heck was on that voyage with his family.
Obviously, the family thrived because here I, and many others descended from these early arrivals, are here today.
The closest call was perhaps when his great-great-grandson, Justus Corbra Heck was captured by Confederate troops in 1863, held for a while in Andersonville, transferred elsewhere and then disappeared, having fathered only one son, Albert Heck, my great-grandfather, during the brief time he was married.
I would value any additional correspondence or information regarding the voyage and the backgrounds of my family and their associates who came with them.
Thank you.

Dear Harold,
I was so pleased to find your site. I'm a decendent of Anna Eliz and Mathais
Bowser who arrived via "richard and elizabeth" in 1733. I have
their decendants including many dates.They had 11 children . Their son
john born 1740 was a ranger on the frontier during the revolution in Northumberland
Co Pennsylvania. He bought land in hopewell Twp Bedford Co. 4/5/1797. If
you are still in need of this line please get in touch. I've played around
with my genealogy for a few years but this internet and e-mail thing is
pretty new to me. I'll look forward to hearing from you. Rebecca S. Fodi

Harold,
Well, it seems that we made your day, even as you made mine!
I am not entirely clear yet about what I might have about the Heck family in Germany. My late aunt, who died about 1.5 years ago, left two large cardboard boxes of family info, which I have only begun to digest and haven't even thought about how to organize. I recall that in discussions a few years ago, she had managed to cross the Atlantic for the Heck family, but if she did, she did not record it on the primary family record sheets. I think I have not yet found some earlier materials.
I doubt very seriously that she would have had any artifacts from that period. There have been many history minded Hecks this century and if there is anything, it is likely to be in their possession. You have given me reason, however, to be in touch with some of the older folks (I can say that being 55 myself).
We do have photocopies of official Army records of J.C. Heck who was at Andersonville. My aunt wrote to the historical site staff a couple of years ago and they were very responsive, including providing confirmation of his stay there and information on where he was transferred to.
I will be back in contact if and when I have more to offer. Meantime, pleasant sailing!
Chris
Johannes Rosensteel (Fosgate4U@aol.com, 05/25/99 20:37) To: Indbio
Dear Harold,
I am a descendent of Johannes Rosensteel and presently I am researching my family's history. To date, I have been able to locate and trace my ancestry back to Johannes without difficulty. At this time, however, I have been unable to identify Johannes's place of origin. The records suggest he was from the Palitinate, however, I am not as yet able to determine the precise area of his birthplace. Do you have any further information concerning this individual? I would be most greatful for any data which you may be able to provide me. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
