    From Bill Tufts:
    Much of the information on this and earlier generations in the Weiser's and distaff ancestors is taken from Henry Z. Jones book on the Palatines, pp. 1075-1080. Jones, quotes, in part, the Weiser Association publication, "The German Origins of the Weisers". Some of the information appears contradictory. Jones said Johann Conrad's wife, Anna Magdalena, was buried 1 May, 1709, aged 43, -"pregnant with her 15th child. The following explains the move and Jones, 1710 arrival in America. He then mentions wife, Margreth Mullerin in 1711 -(second wife)?
    
    Due to several years of poor weather, the people in Germany suffered greatly from cold and hunger. Five of their infant children born 1702-1709 all died.
    
    Conrad Weiser's (1696) "Autobiography" notes: "In the year 1709, my father moved away from Grossaspach, on the 24th June. He took eight children with him. My oldest sister Catharina remained there with her husband, Conrad Boss, with whom she already had two children. My father left them his house, fields, meadows, vineyards and gardens. They could raise no more than 75 guilders. The rest amounting to 600 guildersl my father was to get later, but it was never done and is now presented to them. After about two months we landed in London, England, with a few thousand Germans whom Queen Anna of most honorable memory received and supplied with food. About Christmas, we were loaded, ten ships full, about 4000 souls for America. On the 13th of June we came to anchor in New York, North America, and in the fall of the same year were placed on Loewenstein's Manor at the expense of the Queen Anna. (My note-Bill Tufts- this must be Livingston Manor in present Columbia County).
    
    Moved to Schoharie in 1714.
