The Lady Clothilde should not be dismissed so easily. 1) They were well documented under
the protection of Queen Ann 2) She had to have money to start all the settlements 3) She
is documented by the Penn family themselves in Pennsylvania history. Despite what long
dead genealogist have said about her being a fictional person...I share DNA with another
member and out matching ancestor is Lady Clothilde and her husband James Zeller. This
already disproves the theory that she was fictious...as I carry her DNA with another
member...so what else could they have been wrong about. I have many ancestors from the
Zurich region, and many who migrated to early Pennsylvania, and the Zeller family is among
them.
