DIEBOLD STAUDT was born in Germany; his wife was "LANGRETH."Children: Hans, b. 1535, Bayern, Germany; Johannes Hans , b. 1639 in Germany. The difference in the ages of the two boys leads me to believe one is incorrect or there were children between them. Hans (The Elder) m. Catharina KIESEL. After following several "Hans" and Johannes," we come to Johannes Daniel STAUDT who married Anna Elisabetha (Elzabeth) Keller. They were married in Essweiler, Western Patatina, Germany Nov 17, 1736. They had five children, one of whom was Godfrey Daniel STAUDT, b. about 1750 in Bucks, PA. (Previous info on him shows him in Lancaster Co., PA, before 1750.) The first child of Johannes and Anna was born Sep 25, 1737, in Essweiler, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany. No place of birth is given for second child; Godfrey in PA; and last two in Virginia. I would like to know how and when Johannes and Anna came to the USA, and where they settled in PA and VA. I am a direct descendant to Godfrey (Daniel) and Anna Elizabeth. The name was changed to "STOUT" after they arrived in the U.S.

The ship (or maybe the Master Henry Browning) was from Rotterdam but it looks like the passengers were from Hanau, Wirtemberg, Darmstand, Isenburg. Can anyone tell me if the surname APPEL or APPLE exists in Germany. There were some HEPPLEs aboard the ship also. I would like to correspond with other APPLE researchers. Mine went to North Carolina, Indiana and finally Kansas in 1860s. Thank you.
