Henckel, Valentine and John George Geiger, and others can be found in the introduction to the Strassburger and Hinke book Pennsylvania German Pioneers, Vol. 1, page xvii. "Another noteworthy group of Germans arrived in the year 1717. It was a group of Lutherans, headed by the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel and his son-in-law, Valentine Geiger. They arrived on one of three vessels which reached Philadelphia in September, 1717. On September 19, 1717, 'Capt. Richmond, Capt. Tower & Capt. Eyers, waited upon the [Provincial] Board with a List of Palatines they had imported here from London; by which list it appeared that Capt. Richmond had imported one undred & sixty-four, Capt. Tower ninety-one, and Capt. Evers one hundred and eight.' (from Colonial Records, Vol. III, p. 29.) In 1718, Anthony Jacob Henckel acquired a tract of 250 acres in Hanover township, where as Muehlenberg testifies, he 'ministered for a number of years to the first settlers of that regions.' (Halleshche Nachrichten, new edition, Vol. II, p. 353.) To the best of my knowledge the actual LISTS of the passengers are no longer in existence. In 1717, the requirement was not yet in place that the German immigrants take the oaths of allegiance and sign the pledges that later required the written records of their arrival in PA to be maintained.

I know for a fact that the Henkel family immigrated on one of these ships. They purchased land in New Hanover Twp., then Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania in 1718. The Valentine Geiger family also immigrated on this ship and bought land from the same person in 1718 in the same township. The Schneider family also bought land in 1718 from the same owner in the same town ship. These families aslo went to the same church which Rev. Anthony Henkel established which was the New Hanover Lutheran Church. ANY information would be greatly appreciated. My Sincere Thanks, Kyle Miller Sep 1717 3 ships: Capt. Richard [164], Tower [91], & Ayers [108] A noteworthy group of Germans arrived in the year of 1717. It was a group of Lutherans, headed by the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel and his son-in-law, Valentine Geiger. They arrived on one of the three vessels which reached Philadelphia in September 1717. On September 19, 1717, "Captain Richard, Captain Tower and Captain Eyers, waited upon the (Provincial) Board with the List of Palatines they had imported here from London; by which list it appeared Captain Richard had imported one hundred and sixty-four, Captain Tower, ninety-one and Captain Eyers, one hundred and eight." In 1718, Anthony Jacob Henckel acquired a tract of 250 acres in Hanover township, where numerous members of this group settled. It was through the arrival of the three ships in 1717, upon one of which this group came, that the attention of provincial authorities was first directed to the newcomers.
