...Hans Dewalt brought his family to America in 1727 on the ship James Goodwill from Rotterdam to Philadelphia, PA. They arrived in the Port of Philadelphia on 27 September 1727. The ship manifest shows 8 family members coming from Dehlingen, Alsace:

...In 1719 and again in 1729, a religious group formed in Schwarzenau, Germany in 1708 by leader Alexander Mack, (eventually) called the "Church of the Brethren," emigrated to Pennsylvania to escape religious persecution. They formed their first congregation in Germantown in 1723, and quickly expanded west and south over the next several decades. Although there seems to be no direct connection between Hans Theobald Leatherman and the Brethren movement, several of his sons became prominent members and leaders of the Brethrens in America, founding several congregations over their lives.
