Henry, as he was commonly called, is listed on the passenger list of the ship Charming Nancy, Charles Stedman, Master. He arrived in the port of Philadelphia on October 8, 1737. He took the Oath of Allegiance that same day. The passengers were Palatines imported from Rotterdam, last from Plymouth. The spelling of his name on the original ship list was Georg Henrick Ansparger. On a different copy of the same list Henry's name is spelled Jerg Heinrich Ernsperger. Henry was most probably single, but over 16 years of age since he took the oath of allegiance. That would make his date of birth circa 1720. It is possible that the Christian Hersberg also on the same ship, with his wife Barbara and his children Anna and Peter, is a brother to Henry, but no proof of that has been found. Henry was a cordwainer (leather worker who made things of cordovan, especially shoes) and a farmer. He married Maria Magdalena Rausch about 1740-41, probably in the First Reformed Church of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, although a record has not yet been found. (From cemetery records) One of the earliest found records of land transactions is that of Henry Ernsperger (Arnsperger) buying 99 acres of land from Hans Neisley in Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Hans Neisley had bought 200 acres of land from Christopher Franciscus. He sold 99 acres to Henry on 15 April, 1747 and another 100 acres to Phillip Knight.
