William and Sarah, Arrived 18 September 1727 in Philadelphia

The "William and Sarah" sailed from Rotterdam (Netherlands) via Dover in England under the command of Capt. William Hill.
This apparently was the earliest ship whose immigrant passengers who were not British subjects were required to sign a declaration of allegiance after arrival at Philadelphia. They reached the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 18th 1727, but the list of signees has a date of September 21st.

Passengers on this ship included Georg Michel Weis (also called George Michael Weiss), Reformed minister who established a church at Skippack in Pennsylvania, later was pastor in Schoharie and Dutchess Counties in New York, and in later years was pastor at Goshenhoppen in Pennsylvania. The passengers on this sailing (called Palatine Passengers in the records) may have emigrated as a group under the leadership of Weiss. Some names on the passenger list had the note "Skipach".

Only the men were listed on the passenger list however, the list included the number of persons in his party.(Straussberger List A). Men were required to sign the specific oaths (Straussberger List B).[1] Rupp's combined the two lists.[2]

Strassburger's List

[List 1 B] Palatines imported in the ship Willm & Sarah, Willm Hill, Commr from Rotterdam, who hereunto sett their hands the 21st of Sepr 1727, in the presence of the Govr & Council.[3]

See Palatine Migration Voyages Arriving in Philadelphia 1727 to 1776 for explanation of the lists, oaths, and sources linked below

  • The William and Sarah's A, and B Lists survived and was transcribed.
  • Facsimile signatures from the Oath of Allegiance (B-List) are also available.[4]
  • (His Mark): When the passenger did not sign his own name, the clerk entered his name and the passenger made his mark, which is indicated in the table below in parentheses.

It looks like the comment is on Seitz-250 and the proper alerts are added to that profile. This page is specific to the passenger list of the William and Mary. Your comment will not be viewed by those you hope to alert to the conflation.

The Project will Archive this comment as it is appropriately placed on the profile of Seitz-250 where it will alert descendents and Project members to the issues.

Joseph Albrecht has been added to the passenger list. Bio bits were added to his profile.

To simply adding this emigration experience to a passenger biography a set of "Editable Elements" for both the listed passenger and anyone accompanying him have been added to this FSP. These element bring with them the proper citations. The elements should be edited as the profile manager feels is appropriate. Don't forget to add the Category sticker to the profile as well.

Agree with merger of these two profiles.

11 May 2026 - All profiles previously categorized to this profile are now linked in the passenger list. A search was made of existing WikiTree profiles. Clear matches have been categorized to this ship, the Palatine Migration Voyage Sticker added to their profiles, and the names placed on the passenger list. Where the link was a strong possibility but the match was not clear, a note was left in the comments of that profile. It appears that extended families traveled on this vessel as I found the wives of passengers shared the same last name with other passengers possibly being daughters/sisters. I left notes on the profiles which may help connect these "brick wall" female ancestors to their parents.

Johann Peter Stoy Seitz (1684-1763) appears to be a possible match for passenger, Peter Seyts/Fritz with 4.5 freights. His profile says he is the brother of Eva Dorothea (Seitz) Eckmann (1693-1767) who was on this ship with her husband and family.

Unfortunately, John Peter's profile is unsourced. It may be conflated as the has three successive wives and the attached children being born in 1694, 1742, and 1744.

There are two profiles attached to this ship purporting to be the Joh. Henrich Hartman who arrived in a party of 3 freight.

The death locations are the same. I will propose a merger of the two profiles.

Virginia (Holtzman) Holtzman-Bell
These two profiles were already proposed, state is "unmerged matches."
