    2. --part1_cf.6f94eee.283f052b_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit As Local History and Genealogy Librarian of the New Bern-Craven County Public Library, one of the most frequently asked questions I have been asked is, "Do you have a copy of the list of settlers who came with Baron de Graffenried?" Unfortunately, the answer is, "No." No such list of passengers who sailed from England to Virginia/North Carolina in 1709/10 has survived; or if it has survived, it has not been located. A 1749 "List of Palatines and their Descendants who arrived in North Carolina around 1709" is mentioned in the Colonial Records of North Carolina (volume 4, page 967). This list, too, has not been located. This site attempts to list some of those immigrants (or their descendants) who came with Christoph de Graffenried in 1710 to settle the area around New Bern, North Carolina. In all, about 100 Swiss and 600 Palatines left Europe for New Bern. Nearly all of the Swiss arrived; however, only about half of the Palatines survived the journey to New Bern. Still others were killed during the Tuscarora Indian Wars of 1712-1715. The names listed below are taken from several contemporaneous documents, which are listed in the bibliography. The names of the possible Swiss-Palatines at the end of the article are chosen due to their Germanic sounding name or due to "guilt by association" with known Swiss-Palatines. This article originally appeared in the North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal (February 1997). It has been expanded, corrected, and updated for this site on July 21, 2000. ***This is what is listed on the list from the article above: George Kenege 1733 petition (as Carnepy); 1740 petitioner (as Connegue); 1747 petitioner.
