JOHANNES CONRAD KRUMPF or KEMP
Johann and his wife and five children from Germany, arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Samuel", which had sailed from England, on 17 Aug 1733. Johann is listed as age 48, which indicates that he was born c. 1685. (I later learned that he was born in Gallens Canton, Switzerland.)
At Rootsweb World Connect, researcher Donna Fearnbaugh entered more information about Johann as follows:
In Germany, the family's residence was in the German Kraichgau area between Sinsheim and Bad Winpfen at the time of their emigration. Earlier, from about 1720, they lived in Untergimpern on the Branch of the Neckar River. Johannes served as the local judge, or magistrate, of Untergimpern in 1720. His occupation was listed as a farmer.
In August 1733, the family was living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In 1739, they moved to Kempstown, Frederick, MD (named after the founder, Johannes Krumpf or Kemp, our own seventh great grandfather.) In 1743 the Kemp residence was in Rocky Springs, Frederick, Maryland, a farm. It was on the 17th of May 1743 that Johannes received his naturalization papers from Annapolis, MD. Also, in 1743, Johann received communion at the Evangelical Reformed Church in Frederick, MD. In 1758, Johann became a member of that church.
Johann died in Frederick County, MD in 1764 and is buried alongside his wife at that county's Mount Olivet Cemetery.

JOHANN MARTIN BERNTHEUSEL
Johann was sometimes called Hans and sometimes Martin. He was a butcher in Kreuznach, Germany, where he was born in 1665. He married his first wife, Catherine Koebig, on the 16th October 1682. She apparently died before 1705. His second wife, Susanna Leichtweiss, married him in 1705.
The Hisel/Hysell Association hired a genealogist in Kreuznach, in the 1990s, to find records for us Barnhisel descendants here in the United States. Some of the records that researcher, Andrea Fink, found there are not entirely clear. For instance, Martin is mentioned in 1687 in a castle soldiers list; in 1689 he is listed in bed and rent books; in 1689 and 1711 he was "inaugurated for taxing meat"; in Jan 1710 he is unable to pay his debts. In Mar 1710 he is allowed to buy cereals at hospital because of his poverty. Some goods of his father-in-law were tranferred to him in 1688. His mother gave him some property in 1688 at Kreuznach. In summary, it seems that his business as a butcher was in trouble until his older relatives stepped in to help him out.
Martin had thirteen children to support and they were all born in Kreuznach, Germany as follows:
Date unknown Johann Konrad
Date unknown Johann Georg
1679 Johann Friedrich
1680 Johann Martin
1685 Joseph
1687 Johann Jacob
1688 Balthasar
1693 Johanne Amalia
1699 Johann Valentin, our ancestor
1702 Katharine M.
1702 Johann Peter
1704 Johann Otto
1709 Johann Heinrich
Martin and Susanna both died before 1726 in Kreuznach.

JONATHAN and JANE (WILLIAMS) ROSE and FAMILY
Jonathan Rose of Hemingborough, Yorkshire, England was baptized on the 25th day of February 1674 but his age on that date is unknown. Jonathan was a cooper by trade and he decided to emigrate to Occumbomock, a profitable whaling town in Ballport, Long Island, New York, in 1680. He built casks and barrels there for the shipment of the whale oil to New York City. With the money he earned, he bought many acres of land in Brookhaven, Long Island, Suffolk County, New York. He planted orchards and gardens on his fertile land.
On the 20th of March in 1682, he married Jane Williams of Brookhaven. They had the following children, who were all born in Brookhaven:
