                       Arrival in Pennsylvania

  It was not until 1729 that Mack led the Wittgenstein group on the long
and dangerous ocean voyage from the Netherlands to the New World. In 1727
Mack had sold his share of the inheritance from his father-in-law, John 
Valentine Kling (who died in Schriesheim in 1714), while in Surhuisterveen. 
Neither of the two Ann Margaret Macks given on the passenger list of the 
Allen refers to Mack's wife, who died in September 1720, according to the 
entry in Alexander Mack's Bible, now preserved at Bridgewater College, 
Bridgewater, Virginia.

  It is probable that some of those listed were not members of the 
Brethren group, but merely passengers on the same ship.  The names have 
been edited in an attempt to reconstruct more accurate spellings, since the 
lists were written by English clerks who had great difficulty spelling 
German names. Although there is a less complete list with actual signatures,
some of the group were illiterate and their names were also written by 
clerks on this list as well.
