Johannes Henrich Brumbaugh ¹

  Noted events in his life were:

• Immigration: Ship Neptune, 30 Sep 1754, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, USA. ¹ [El] JOHANNES HENRICH 1 BRUMBACH, the immigrant (see repro-
duction of immigrant list), and family arrived at Philadelphia on the ship
Neptune, Captain Waire, Sept. 30, 1754, sailing from Rotterdam and stopping
at Cowes, England, for provisions as was the general custom during those long
voyages, filled with innumerable hardships. A brief quotation bearing upon
these hardships is instructive :

" The journey for those who came from Southern Germany in 1754 lasted
' fully half a year amid such hardships as no one is able to describe adequately
with their misery.' The passage from Holland to Cowes, England, alone, often
required from two to four weeks.

Johannes married.
