Margaretha died in 1711. A late entry at the marriage record notes "Went to the new land". Georg and family boarded the ship "Loyal Judith" in Rotterdam, and after a stop in Cowes, arrived Sept. 25, 1732 in Philadelphia, PA. The ship was registered in London and captained by Robert Turpin. Also on board was Hans Kuntz. They moved to Fredricks County, MD.
