In 1708-09, after years of continual religious persecution, war, and general upheavel, they left their homes in Mainz, Treves, Loraine, Alsace, Baden, and Wurttemberg and traveled along the Rhine River to Amsterdam, Holland. From there they set sail for London. Some became English citizens, others went to Ireland and about three thousand sailed for the Colony of New York with its newly appointed Governor, Robert Hunter. These men were, for the most part, shopkeepers, tradesmen, and farmers. Hunter intended to put them to work producing tar and turpentine for the Royal Navy. The only reason they had agreed to this was the promise of 40 acres of land each in what is today, Schoharie County. They wanted this land so that their children would have a means of support after they were gone. Around Christmas Day of 1709, they left London for New York. They were crowded together in ten ships without decent food or sanitary conditions. When they arrived in New York on 14 Jun 1710, there was so much illness that they were detained for a few more months on Nutten (Governors) Island. During that time Robert Hunter discovered that, not only was Schoharie 40 miles inland in an unbroken wilderness, but the trees were not suitable for the production of tar and turpentine. He then took money out of his own pocket and purchased some six hundred acres on the Hudson River in what is today, Columbia County. He also purchased another six hundred acres on the West side. Although small villages were given names, names which don't necessarily exist today, in general they were known as East and West Camp. In the Spring of 1711, the Palatines set about getting the Pine trees ready for tapping, but the work was slowed down while 105 volunteers were enlisted for a Colonial attack on the French in Canada. This campaign was a failure and Gov. Hunter soon discovered that northern Pine could not produce the amount of tar and turpentine expected so, this too was a failure. Hunter then found that he had almost depleated his funds and was unable to collect the money he had spent from England. Also the Palatines were very unhappy and close to rebellion. Not knowing what else to do, Hunter released them from their contracts and more or less told them to fend for themselves until such time as the Queen would require their services. Some, still believing in the land that had been promised them, forged a trail to Schoharie; some thirty families moved down river to Dutchess County; a few went to or remained in the West Camp and about three hundred remained in Livingston Manor, Columbia County. JOHANNES COONRADT BERINGER (later changed to Barringer) was one of the names that appeared on Gov. Hunter's ration list in 1710. In 1711 and 1714, he and his wife, ANNA ELIZABETH STAHL, were listed as parents in the baptismal records of St. Paul's Even- gelical Church of West Camp. On 17 Jan 1715/16, He was one of the Protestants of foreign birth who took the Oath of Allegiance to the Colony of New York at Albany. In 1717, he and his wefe were listed with five children at Hunterstown, East Camp. Religion was a very important part of the lives of the Palatines. Some were of the Lutheran faith and others, like Coonradt, were Calvanists (Reformed). Coonradt was one of the founders of what appears to have been the first church in Dutchess County. This church, which housed both the Lutheran and the Reformed congre- gations, was established at Kirchebock in 1716. The fact that he and his wife were listed as parents in the baptismal records of the Dutch Reformed Church at Kingston in 1722, may have been an indication of his desire for a separate reformed church. In any case, he was one of the members who bought out the Lutherans in 1729 and established the Reformed Protestant Church of Rhinebeck, Dutchess County. His name appeared on the Dutchess County tax roles in 1722 as Johannes Berenger, sevemaker. A couple of years later, he was listed as Johannes Counradt Perenger. On 5 Jul 1734, he purchased one hundred and three acres of land from Colonel Henry Beekman. He also purchased an adjoining tract of twenty-five acres from Catryn Rutsen. This property was in the North Ward of Rhinebeck Precinct, Dutchess County. JOHANNES COONRADT BERINGER (BARRINGER) and his wife, ANNA ELISABETH STAHL had the following children: 1-MARIA ELISABETH m.
