Johann Andreas Frey
Johann Andreas Frey was born about 1698 in Bad Rappenau, Duchy of Wurttemburg. On 2/3/1722 in Bischofsheim, the Duchy of Wurttemburg. Johan married Catharina Barbara Ritter b. 1703 in Pfalz, Lower Palatine (Germany).
Conditions in the lands which would become Germany forced these ethnic Germans out of their homes and on the dangerous path to America. Johana Andreas and his purported brother, Hans Peter, and both of their families immigrated to Philadelphia PA aboard the ship Samuel, arriving on 8/17/1733. [Palatinate Immigration]
The Frey Family settled sometime before 4/1734 and the birth of daughter, Maria Margaretha, in Richmond Twp in Philadelphia (now Berks) Co PA. The Frey family is associated with other ethnic German families who lived in Allemangle, the ethnic German enclave to their north.
Research Note: Allemangle was the ethnic German community situated on the border of northeast Berks county and northwest Bucks/ Northampton/ Lehigh county (vic. Kempton PA). And, records for residents of Allemangle can be found in either county depending on which township they lived in: Lynn and Weisenberg TWP in Lehigh and Albany TWP in Berks.
The last record of Johann Andreas is from 1740 across the county line in Bucks (now Lehigh) Co PA where he reportedly became a British citizen. Johan died 1750 in Richmond Twp, Philadelphia (now Berks) Co PA. And, Catherine died sometime later.
