[Endorsed:]

Foreigners imported in the Ship John & Elizabeth, Capt. Peter Ham, from
Amsterdam.  Qual. 7th Novr 1754.  No 130.  Benezet."

Formatter Notes:
As of 1727 it was required of all those over 21 years old entering 
Philadelphia to sign an "Oath of Allegiance" and later two other oaths.

OATHS

"We subscribers, Natives and Late Inhabitants of the Palatinate upon 
the Rhine & Places adjacent, having transported ourselves and Families 
into this Province of Pensilvania, a Colony subject to the Crown of 
Great Britain, in hopes and Expectation of finding a Retreat & peaceable 
Settlement therein, Do Solemnly promise & Engage, that We will be 
faithful & bear true Allegiance to his present Majesty King George II, 
and his Successors, Kings of Great Britain, and will be 
faithful to the Proprietor of this Province; And that we will demean 
ourselves peaceably to all His said Majesties Subjects, and strictly 
observe & conform to the Laws of England and of this Province, to the 
utmost of our Power and best of our understanding."



Beginning with August 19, 1729, the immigrants were required to 
sign two additional declarations, which were entered in a bound book.  
The latter in course of time became a series of bound books, to each 
of which these two declarations where prefixed.   



The two additional declarations, to which the immigrants affixed 
their signatures in the bound books, were as follows: 



"I ___ do solemnly & sincerely promise & declare that I will be 
true & faithful to King George the Second and do solemnly sincerely 
and truly Profess Testifie & Declare that I do from my Heart abhor, 
detest & renounce as impious & heretical that wicked Doctrine & Position 
that Princes Excommunicated or deprived by the Pope or and Authority 
of the See of Rome may be deposed or murthered by their Subjects or 
any other whatsoever.  And I do declare that no Foreign Prince Person 
Prelate State or Potentate hath or ought to have any Power Jurisdiction 
Superiority Preeminence or Authority Ecclesiastical or Spiritual within 
the Realm of Great Britain or the Dominions thereunto belonging. 



"I ___ do solemnly sincerely and truly acknowledge profess testify 
& declare that King George the Second is lawful & rightful King of the 
Realm of Great Britain & of all others solemnly & sincerely declare that 
I do believe the Person pretending to be Prince of Wales during the Life 
of the late King James, and since his Decease pretending to be & taking 
upon himself the Stile & Title of King of England by the Name of James 
the third, or of Scotland by the Name of James the Eighth or the Stile 
& Title of King of Great Britain hath not any Right or Title whatsoever 
to the Crown of the Realm of Great Britain, nor any other the Dominions 
thereunto belonging.  And I do renounce & refuse any Allegiance or 
obedience to him & do solemnly promise that I will be true and faithful, 
& bear true allegiance to King George the Second & to him will be faithful 
against all traiterious Conspiracies & attempts whatsoever which shall be 
made against his Person Crown & Dignity & I will do my best Endeavours to 
disclose & make known to King George the Second & his Successors all 
Treasons and traiterous Conspiracies which I shall know to be made against 
him or any of them.  And I will be true & faithful to the Succession of 
the Crown against same is & stands settled by An Act Entituled An Act 
declaring the Rights & Liberties of the Subject & settling the Succession 
of the Crown to the late Queen Anne & the Heirs of her Body being 
Protestants, and as the same by one other Act Entituled An Act for the 
further Limitation of the Crown & better securing the Rights & Liberties 
of the subject is & stands settled & entailed after the Decease of the 
said late Queen, & for Default of Issue of the said late Queen, to the 
late Princess Sophia Electoress & Dutchess Dowager of Hanover & the 
Heirs of her Body being Protestants; and all these things I do plainly 
& sincerely acknowledge promise & declare according to these express 
Words by me spoken & according to the plain & common Sense and

came to Americia, then he moved to Sandy Hook in Stasburg, Virginia, then later 
moved back to Ephrata Cloister because of Indian raids in Virginia.
 
He found a wife in PA. and married then moved back to Virginia around Stasburg area.
