The Story of the Palatines (From the PA-Dutch mailing list)
The winter of 1708-1709 was very long and cold in the Rhineland. It was a
very bleak period. People huddled around their fires as they considered
quitting their homes and farms forever. By early April, the land was still
frozen and most of the Palatines' vines had been killed by the bitter weather.
Since 1702 their country had been enduring war and there was little hope for
the future. The Thirty Years War lay heavy on their minds, a period in which
one out of every three Germans had perished.
The Palatines were heavily taxed and endured religious persecution. As the
people considered their future, the older ones remembered that, in 1677,
William Penn had visited the area, encouraging the people to go to
Pennsylvania in America, a place where a man and his family could be free
of the problems they were now encountering.
To go to America meant a long, dreadful ocean voyage and a future in an
unknown land, away from their past and family. Everyone knew that the
German Elector would stop any migration as soon as it was noticed.
Only a mass exodus from the Palatinate could be successful. Many
wondered how they could ever finance such a journey even if they wanted
to attempt it. Small boats, known as scows, would have to be acquired for the
long ride down the Rhine River and then there was the price for the ocean
voyage. While some of the people had relatives that could assist them
financially, many were very poor. Soon enough, their minds were made up
for them as France's King Louis XIV invaded their land, ravaging especially
the towns in the Lower Palatinate.
In masses, the Palatines boarded their small boats and headed down the
Rhine for Rotterdam. It was April 1709 and the first parties were afloat on
the
Rhine, many with only their most basic goods and their faith in God as their
only possessions. The river voyage took an average of 4-6 weeks through
extremely cold, bitter weather. By June, 1709, the people streamed into
Rotterdam at a rate of one thousand per week. The Elector, as expected,
issued an edict forbidding the migration, but almost everyone ignored it.
By October, 1709, more than 10,000 Palatines had completed the Rhine
River journey.
[Our ancestor, JOHANN PHILIPPUS K(C)LONINGER and his new wife,
Maria Charlotta WÜLL, arrived in Philadelphia on "Two Brothers"
on 13 October 1747.
JOHAN VALENTIN KLONINGER, possibly Philip's brother, arrived in
Philadelphia on the ship Loyal Judith on 3 September 1742.
He was Seventeen years old.]
The Duke of Marlborough was assigned by Queen Anne to transport the
immigrants to England. British troop ships were also used. The Queen
assumed these Protestants would help fuel the anti-Roman feelings
developing in England. The ships from Rotterdam landed, in part, at
Deptford and the refugees were sent to one of three camps at Deptford,
Camberwell, and Blackheath outside the city wall of London. Many
Londoner's welcomed the Palatines, but the poor were not, as they felt
their English food was being taken from them to feed the Germans.
British newspapers published mixed accounts of the Palatines, some
praising them while others cursed them.
Over 3,000 of these Palatines were sent to Ireland, again to reinforce the
Protestant faith in that land. The trip from england to Ireland was short,
taking only about 24 hours.
Meanwhile, streams of Palatines went to America, with most going to
Pennsylvania. The ocean voyage was harsh, with over-crowded,
under-supplied, and unsanitary ships. What provisons were supplied
were generally the least expensive available to the ship's master.
Water frequently ran out, as did food. Dreadful mortality occurred on
many voyages. In addition to those woes, the Palatines faced robbery,
deception, and worse from those transporting them.
Estimates on the number of Germans in Pennsylvania during this period
varies from author to author, but a common estimate is 10,000-15,000 by
1727 and 70,000-80,000 by 1750. A good source for reviewing German
arrivals to Pennsylvania is Rupp's "Thirty Thousand Immigrants in
Pennsylvania" which contains numerous ship passenger lists and has an
excellent surname index. Another good resource is Walter Knittle's "Early
Eighteenth-Century Palatine Emigration".
Immigrants not only came from Germany, but also Bohemia and Switzerland.
Most were either Lutheran, Reformed, or Mennonite in religious belief.
[The father of JOHANN PHILIPPUS K(C)LONINGER and possibly JOHAN VALENTIN
KLONINGER, MICHAEL KLONINGER, was a Lutheran Church
censor in Germany.]

I'd share it with you.

From-"German Immigration to America:The First Wave"
edited by Don Heinrich Tolzmann
Introduction
In 1608, the first German settlers arrived at Jamestown , Virginia, thus
marking the beginning date in German American history, and in 1683
group immigration began with the arrival of the first group of German
immigrants, who established the first permanent German settlement in
America at Germantown, Pennsylvania.(1) The stage was thereby
set for the beginnings of the German immigration on a massive scale,
and this occurred in the early 1700's with the immigration from southwest
Germany, especially from the Palatinate.
The significance of this immigration cannot be underestimated as it in
essence became the core group of the entire colonial German element.(2)
Although the core group of immigrants actually came from the Palatinate,
most German immigrants were indiscriminately referred to as "Palatines"
since most of them came, if not from the Palatinate, then from the neighboring
regions of the southwestern German speaking area of Europe, which included
southwest Germany, Alsace-Lorraine and Switzerland.
The southwest region of German-speaking realm was frequently a
battleground during European warfare. It was repeatedly attacked, pillaged,
and devastated in a period ranging from the Thirty Years War for the next two
centuries through the Napoleonic area.(3)
The ravages of the Thirty Years war (1618-48) were particularly acute in
this region. And after the war, the French burned the castle of Heidelberg
and the city of Mannheim. The population was reduced to poverty-America
appeared on the horizon as a ray of hope and the chance for a new life.(4)
There are a number of causes and reasons which can be cited as leading
to the first wave of immigration, but the single most frequently mentioned
one was the devastation caused by the long history of warfare. indeed the
southwest German-speaking realm may be referred to as a war zone.
After the Thirty Years War the region was often the stamping ground for
the armies of Louis XIV of France.
It should be noted that the German states were not unified in a centralized
state, but its neighbor, France, was, and after 1648 it conducted a foreign
policy aimed at direct intervention in German affairs with two quite specific
objectives in mind. First, it aimed at obtaining a frontier on the Rhine,
which translated into French control of the German speaking province of
Alsace-
Lorraine. Second france aimed at the maintenance of a weak and divided
Germany. As a result of the french drive to the east, Germany suffered
continual territorial losses:Alsace was annexed by France in 1681;
Burgundy was ceded to France in 1714, and Lorraine annexed in 1766.
Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm of baden remarked with reference to the French
conquest of Alsace in 1681:"For France it is a door constantly open for war,
through which she can invade German soil as often as she wished." And
invade France did repeatedly, resulting in the ruination of the southwestern
German region, especially the Palatinate. Specifically the French devastated
the province in 1674; it was laid waste again; and in 1707, during the war of
Spanish Succession, it was again plundered. All of this ruination, it should
be
noted, followed hard on the heels of the Thirty Years War, from which the
region had not yet recovered in 1674, when it was plundered again. By the
early 1700's there had been almost a century of intermittent warfare.
When immigrants were asked about their reasons for immigrating they spoke
mainly "of the French ravages in 1707." Hence the relationship between French
military intervention in the German states and the beginnings of massive
German immigration can best be answered bydescribing the two as cause and
effect.
Without the former, it is highly unlikely that the early1700's would have
witnessed the beginnings of the first massive wave of German immigration.(5)
In 1708, the Rev. Joshua Kochertal applied to an English agency in Frankfurt
am Main for permission to take a small group to England, where he applied
to Queen Anne for assistance for the Palatines. he recited the cause of their
plight as the French ravages and destruction in southwest Germany. "In the
judgement of the immigrants, so severe was the destruction that they could not
possibly attain sufficient means of livelihood during the hard times, which
still continued."(6) Queen Anne therefore provided for their welfare and
sustenance. Kochertal then asked if he could transport the Palatine Germans to
America. It
was decided that New York would be the appropriate place for them.
In 1708, a small group arrived in New York. each person received 50 acres
of land. Among this group were carpenters, smiths, weavers,and various
skilled craftsmen. They established a settlement, Newburgh in New York.
In 1709, there were some 13,000 Germans in England who were awaiting
passage to America. in 1710, Kochertal returned to England and brought
more of them to America; some of these early Palatine Germans, it should
be noted, settled in Ireland but the majority made it to the New World.
Perhaps the largest group, approximately 3,000, came to New York in 1710.
Eventually, it is estimated that tens of thousands came in the colonial period
to America, and settled in various colonies.
Among these early German-Americans were some outstanding individuals,
such as John Peter Zenger, the first champion of the free press in America.
In New Jersey, two prominent representatives of this group were General
Frederick Frelinghysen and Johan Peter Rockefeller. The formwer would
serve in the American Revolution and become a member of the Continental
Congress, the Constitutional Convention, and the U.S. Senate in the 1790's.
Rockefeller of course, became the founder of one of America's most illustrious
industrial dynasties.(7)
In America, the Palatines established a variety of towns and villages with
German names such as Weiserdorf, hartmannsdorf, Brunnendorf, Schmidtdorf,
Gerlachsdorf etc. In times of peace, they were regarded as excellent farmers
who provided grain and crops for the growing colonies. During the frontier
wars and the American Revolution, they acted as a protective bulwark on
the frontier, and also actively supported the War of American Independence.
As the representatives of the first massive wave of German immigration to
America, the Palatines occupy an important palce in American as well
as German-American history. Once underway the waves of immigration
would bring a total of eight millions from the German-speaking countries to
America(9)

6. Knittle, p. 34 A history of the Palatines in New York notes with regard
to the Palatinate, that after the Thirty Years War, war again broke out in
1668, and in 1673 Louis XIV of France began his marauding expeditions...
destructive raids laid waste the Palatine countryside, and the ruthless
pillage continued....when the French king himself entered the land 'to make it
a
wilderness,' as declared. As a youth of twenty years Kochertal heard
of the burning of Heidelberg and Mannheim and in May of 1689 news
reached him that Speyer and Worms had been set on fire. The villages,
towns and farms of the Rhine regions were pillaged and burned, their
inhabitants tortured, ravished or slain."
By 1705, England, Holland, Sweden and Prussia threatened intervention
unless the carnage stopped which was then taking place during the War
of Spanish Succession (1701-13). See lou D. MacWethy,

These three children were all baptised on the same day. I have a friend in
Pennsylvania who went and photocopied this page and the book title page
for me..so these are the only surnames on this page that are of interest.
Wonder if Susan REIN was branded with a "S"?
So as to the argument of what Magdalena's name is, this tells us for sure
her baptised name...As to complete family names they may have called her
Mary. I tend to agree with the person who said that the author of "Our
Kin" may have merged her with her sister Eve to make one person instead of
two. ...Just my two cents worth...(See Dave I contributed something)

Hello all,
I got on the list last week. Thought I'd share my life story with you.
Don't fall asleep... :-)
I'm Eric Henry Cloninger, married to Jacqueline Renee Rightnowar Cloninger.
We have one son at this time, Elijah Wolfgang Cloninger. We live in
Austin, TX. I'm a software jockey (i.e. programmer). So is my wife, but
she's a full-time mommy these days.
I grew up in Hydro, Oklahoma (population: 900, 60 miles west of OKC on
Route 66/I-40). As I understand the story, my great grandfather James
Henry Cloninger left Ewing, WV in the 1890's for Missouri, then Texas, then
Oklahoma when land was opened up 70 miles west of Oklahoma City.
Before he passed away a few years ago, my grandfather wrote the family
story back three generations from him to the 1830's. The manuscript is 500
double spaced pages, but is in terrible shape. I've been trying to get it
into electronic form for several years with little luck. I would be happy
to share that volume once with people if anyone is interested.
That's about it. It's great hearing from all of you. If you ever get into
central Texas, give me a yell and we'll burn a cow in the backyard.

Perhaps it would be good for us to have the choice of a reply to this board
and/or to the person who posts the original. Some replys get lengthy and
lead to other non-related discussions.
In reply to the post about J. Adam' wife - I have never seen her seriously
listed as anyone but MARY Magdalena Rhyne. I think the "Eve" was added by
some fanciful descendant who paired that with Adam under the impression
thay were the "pioneers"
Many years ago I was sent a copy of a lengthy family tree of Adam and his
descendants (names only) stating that she was called Eve because she was
the "mother" of all the Cloningers on that list.
The Cloninger section of Lorena S. Eaker's "German Speaking People West of
the Catawba River in NC 1750-1800" also refers to her as Mary M and names
her parents.It also says that in her will she called herself 'Mary' and in
J. Adam's will he refers to her as 'Magdalena'. Will copy out these small
details if anyone likes, the book is still available for sale see the
Catawba Co. page on the internet.
The publication of the Pennsylvania German Society titled "Eighteenth
Century Emigrants from the Western Palatinate" Volume II by Annette
Kunselman Burgert tells us on page 208 that Joh. Adam, son of Philip
Cloninger (Kloninger) and wife Maria Charlotta Wild, had a spouse named
Barbara Will.
This record may be in the Moselem Luthern Church, Berks Co., PA (probably
written in German, which leaves me standing by the wayside)
It would seem that Mary Magdalena was not Adam's first wife. Interesting -
does anyone have a comment on this?
I will post this to the Cloninger page only
Agnes
Calling all Cloningers:
I have recently acquired information on my Cloninger ancestors from
distant cousins and the Web. I have noticed that some Cloningers list
Adam Cloninger's wife as Eva Magdalena Rhyne and others show her name as
Maria Magdalena Rhyne. (Take into consideration the various spellings
of Magdalena and Rhyne). Does anyone have any documentation or source
material that validates one name or the other? Any possibility that her
name is Eva Maria Magdalena Rhyne? That reminds me of a children's
song. Anyway, I would appreciate on this discrepancy.
Your distant cousin
Hi Cloninger Clan!
It was nice to see some activity lately. Made me feel proud of my
heritage! Made a recent trip to a nearby library and found George
Cloninger [1830 Census (Lincoln Co., NC)] listed on page 232 with Moses and
Jacob. Were three men brothers? Father and sons? I have George's
birthdate as 8 Jun 1811 making him 19 years old in 1830. I am curious
about Moses and Jacob. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Currently, the list is set up in such a manner that when someone replies to a
posting, they automatically send it only to the person who made the original
post. If you want the reply to be seen by everyone, then you have to
specifically reply to the list. This limits the number of people seeing
replies and cuts down on the traffic, but also provides a higher degree of
privacy.
If you would rather see replies automatically set to the entire list, please
let me know. I am trying to gauge the sentiment before I make any change.

Agnes, My experience with FTM is slightly different though still of concern.
On their CDs, all living indiviuals are marked "Private" when it comes to
anything other than names and relationships. This includes all notes, user-
defined fields and extended information. However (and this is a BIG however),
those who post reports on user home pages on the FTM website can end up
posting information on living individuals. I know this because I shared
information with a Rhyne cousin who posted it on an FTM home page. I was very
surprised to find not only my name, but birthplace and marriage location there
on the Internet for anyone to see.
I share your concerns about privacy but at the same time, I don't want to
scare people off from exchanging information AFTER they have gotten to know
someone and have satisfied themselves that the researcher is legitimate.
By the way, I have the same concerns about other websites--such as
Ancestry.com and Genserv.

Hello Agnes,
Yes I am the one you talked to back in the early 80's, also last year you
helped me by looking up some land records of Andrew Cloninger who moved to
Yalobusha Co MS. You looked up some #'s through LDS. I have been talking to
most who are on the list for a while now, and all are very interested in both
Adam and Michael's line. I think the days are now gone where people just
worked on Adam's side. It is now well documented through the estate of John
Cloninger 1781-1837 had 12 kids
listedThomas,Nancy,Henry,John,Noah,David,Andrew,Philemon,Michael,Moses,Ruffena
,Elcanah. In 1840 the estate papers said Andrew and Philemon were living out
of state. The Kloninger spelling I found Philemon under is the only time I saw
it that late also (1850), but I feel strongly that this is the brother your
husbands John and my ancestor Henry Cloninger. I could not find Philemon after
1850 under any spelling I tried. Nice to here form you again.

Wrong on the dates, right on the parents names and data. Broderbund does NOT
publish dates of people who are or may be living.
