General Notes

Alias:<ALIA> Andrew /Fulk/, Volk or Folk
Some sources list his birth in about 1696.
According to the FULK-VOLCK FAMILY page
(http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~omeda/fulk_family.html): "The Fulk family
name is of German origin.  The German form was Volk, Volck and Volke, but
after the family migrated to America, the name took on the English form
and became Fulk or Folk.  Records show Andreas arrived in New York on the
ship "Globe" in 1708.  Arriving were Andreas, age 30, his wife Anna
Catherine, age 29, and three children: Maria Barbara, age 5, George
Hieronemus, age 4, and Anna Gertruda, age 1.  A fourth child was born
while on the ship. From the records of Rev. Joshua Kocherthal who served
as a Lutheran minister for the family in NY and later in PA, we learn
that Andreas Volck, his wife Catherine and children moved from NY to
Allemanengel, PA in 1735.  After moving to PA, some of the family waited
with the Moravian Church there although they held their membership in the
Lutheran Church while in NY.  Among those joining the Moravian Church in
PA were the 3 sons, Carolus (Carl), Jacob and Andreas II (Andrew). 
Andreas II (Adnrew) and his family moved from PA to NC in 1767..."
From Ancestry.com #39608 (bedcab@@mindspring.com): "The Globe, the ship,
part of the Palatine company of Reverend Joshua Kocherthal.  They were
promised land along the Hudson River in New York, but the settlement
failed, and Andreas and his family moved first to Philadelphia and then
to Allemangel, PA.  He here joined the Moravian Church."  Also from
another site at Ancestry.com The McDonald Family Tree (Rick
McDonald<rmc1849@@aol.com): "Andreas Volck, the old father, was born 1678
"auf der Wises" (on the meadow) near Worms (Germany) and baptized shortly
thereafter, Lutheran.  In 1698 he married Catharina and came to America
in 1710.  After his awakening he at first belonged to the Baptists
(Dunkards) but was restless at heart and after talking with Broth Georg
Schneider he visited Bethlehem several times and was a communicant twice,
but he was never taken in as a member of the congregation (Moravian).  He
died in September 1747.  Source: The Palatine Immigrant, XXII, no. 3,
June 1997, p.131: Andreas' father was Johann Jacob. Gav d. in Northampton
County, PA.  Arrived in America on the ship "Globe" in 1709."
Foulke Lupfer genealogy says that the party arrived in New York harbor on
December 18, 1708 on the "Globe", but did not reach Newburgh on the
Hudson until New Year's Day 1709.
From The Pennsylvania LeFevres
(http://www.pennsylvanialefevres.org/book/history.html): "...joined a
group of refugees led by the Rev. Joshua Kocherthal whose expenses were
paid by Queen Anne.  According to the Reformed Church Messenger dated
March 13, 1872, they set said October 15, 1708, on the transport
"Globe".  This fleet of ships encountered some very bad weather.  Lord
Lovelace, the new Governor of New York, was on one of them.  He wrote
London immediately, advising them not to send any more ships after
August.  He said the "Globe" was in need of water but they were unable to
help because of the stormy weather.  After eleven weeks on the water, the
"Globe" arrived at New York January 1, 1709.  The Colonists were taken to
the area now know as Newburgh on the Hudson River.  Each family was given
tools and 50 acres of land.  Newburgh history tells of short supplies,
different religious views, and their dislike of the land.  A number of
them left the area and settled elsewhere ("THE HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY,
NEW YORK" by Ruttenbur and Clark)."
