Ship William and Sarah
Ship William and Sarah
William Hill, Master, from Rotterdam, last for Dover, England, landed in Philadelphia, Pa. on 21 Sept. 1927*.
There were one hundred and nine Palatines who with their families numbered about four hundred persons. The said Master had no license from the Court of Great Britain for transporting those people and that the Master believed they designed to settle in the Province of Philadelphia. All male persons above the age of sixteen did subscribe their names or made their mark to the Declaration to promise and engage true allegiance to His present Majesty, King George the Second, and his successors, Kings of Great Britain and will be faithful to the proprietor of this Province.
