Dear List, Yesterday in researching my own family's line, I uncovered the only reference I've seen for the family of a friend of mine, so thought I'd submit a query on the off chance someone on this list is researching this name. Editor Michael Tepper, in his book, "Emigrants to Pennsylvania, 1641-1819," (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1975), p. 20, notes that the "Friend's Adventure" arrived in the American Colonies on the Delaware River near Philadelphia on the 28th of the 7th month 1682 (Old Style calendar). On board were Thomas WALL with his servants: Job HOULE and Eliza EATON, both to serve four years and to be set free on the 29 of the 7th month 1686 (Old Style). On the same ship is the William VENABLES family. Is anyone doing any work on the HOULE/HOULLE family? (My friend says her family's tradition is that these people came from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France/Germany and finally settled in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.) Thanks. Bonnie Bowman Henson
