His brother John Philip arrived and settled on adjacent land in 1729. The area, was originally known as Saue Schwamm or Hog Swamp, later as Earltown, later still as New Design, and today as New Holland.ttled nearby in the Ephrata area. he Ranc family:ffered death in 1745. The ancestors of the American branch were the brothers John Michael Ranc, who arrived in 1728, and John Philip Ranc, who arrived a year later. They came from Alsace, and both located in Lancaster County (Pennsylvania). During the War of Independence the Ranc family was especially noted for its patriotism and nearly all its members capable of bearing arms were in the war."1 a haven and there was little political or military power to restrain the vengeful King. Rev. Jean Ranc, with his wife and son Hans Valentine, fled first to the Alsatian city of Strasburg on the Rhine. It was not lo g until the armies of Louis recaptured that city, which throughout its history was sometimes German and sometimes French territory. The refugees had to flee even farther down the Rhine to Mannheim. Mannheim is in that area of Germany called the Palatinate, or in German the Pfalz.penetrate his province and established it as a refuge for the Protestant exiles. Mannheim, not yet a large city, became a Huguenot center and Jean Ranc no doubt continued his preaching there. Son Hans Valentine met in Mannheim and married Margaretha Philippes (Margarith Philipp) of French-Dutch descent. They had six children: Ann Barbara, John Michael, John Philip, Rosine Katharine, Susanna Margaretha and Johann Valentine, born in 1699, 1701, 1704, 1705, 1707 and 1710 respectively. Hans Valentine died in 1710, leaving his young family in the care of their grandfather. Only two years later Rev. Jean Ranc also died. Rosine Katharine and Johann Valentine died in childhood. The remaining four children, left with their mother, grew to young adulthood in Mannheim. Our family story continues with the lives of the two brothers, John Michael and John Philip. Of their mother and the other children we have no further knowledge except that on 26 February 1725 Susanna Margaretha married Johann Valentin Weinkraus.d on the east by Delaware, on the west limited as Maryland (i.e. by New Jersey) northward as far as plantable." The request was granted in 1681 and the land was named Pennsylvania. Penn became its supreme governor. To this New World paradise he began to invite Moravian and Huguenot exiles from the Palatinate. band of Moravians was sailing down the Rhine past Mannheim for the purpose of embarking from Rotterdam for America. The young men sent a message ahead, begging the travellers to stop and take them on as additional passengers. Soon John Michael with his young wife, Anna Barbara Schwab, and John Philip were journeying down the Rhine to Holland.two hundred and three other emigrants, set sail from Rotterdam for America on the English vessel, The Mortonhouse. John Coultas was its ship master. After eighty-one days of rough ocean voyage, crowded in the dismal holds of the ship, they arrived in Philadelphia on August 24, 1728.us passage. Gottlieb Mittelberger in his Reise nach Pennsylvanien im Jahre 1750 und Ruckreise nach Teutscland im Jahre 1754 describes a typical emigrant‘s journey to America:m the Palatinate to Pennsylvania lasts from the beginning of May until the end of October, fully half a year, amid such hardships as no one is able to describe adequately. The cause is because the Rhine boats from Heilbronn to Holland have to pass by thirty-six customs houses, at all of which the ships are examined. The trip down the Rhine alone lasts four, five and even six weeks. When the ship and the people reach Holland, they are detained there for five or six weeks. Both in Rotterdam and Amsterdam the people are packed densely, like herrings so to say, in the large sea vessels. A person over ten years pays for the passage from Rotterdam to Pennsylvania ten pou ds. I may safely assert that with the greatest economy, many passengers spent $176 from home to Philadelphia."1•gely enough, brother John Philip was not on that passenger list. He waited in Rotterdam another year, sailing on June 20, 1729, on the very same vessel, The Mortonhouse, making its next round trip to America. He arrived in Philadelphia on August 19, 1729, after a voyage of fifty-five days. No one knows for sure why both young men did not come at the same time. Romance may have been at stake, since this year later John Philip brought with him a you g bride, Anna Barbara Sch macher. Perhaps there was a rule that only married couples would be given passage. Or was the ship list over-crowded because of the unexpected passengers picked up at Mannheim and was John Philip the one for whom there was no room? Or did he not have the necessary fare? couples had arrived in a new homeland. Their ancestral homeland, France had known little peace for the past two hundred years. They themselves had been born and had grown to adulthood as refugees in Germany. Now they may at last have found a haven in which they would be secure fr m all such fears. But what of the contending colonial powers? What of the native Indian Americans whose lands were being wrested from them by foreign intruders? What of the rising tension between the colonists and their British sovereign? Many of those colonists were not of British descent and their allegiance to the Crown rested chiefly on an oath of loyalty they were required to sign. Uninterrupted tranquility was not quite yet to be their lot.e&id=411&Itemid=613rms, having been divided by 1978 into about twelve smaller farms, lie just southeast of New Holland, extending eastward past Blue Hall and East Earl to a tiny community called Fetterville, between Pennsylvania State Route #23 and the Welsh Mountains.
