Jan: This is the first I've heard of a ship being attached to the Kuster emigration. Sounds very exciting, and I will explore further. In the meantime, I am also posting your data to the Original-13 list. Perhaps someone on that list has more ship info.

Fox. His children were Arnold, Johannes, and Hermanus. Paul Custer, son of Hermanus, settled in Montgomery Co. Pennsylvania." No source was indicated. My cursory search for this ship turned up only: 1) "The Fox", an immigrant ship which sailed from Rotterdam, to Plymouth, to Philadelphia, arriving 12 Oct 1738 - no Kusters or similar names listed; 2) "The Fox" an immigrant ship from the Netherlands from an unspecified port to New York and New Jersey arriving 31 Aug 1662 - no Kusters or similar names listed. Anyone else ever run across anything linking Paulus Kuster's passage to America with a ship name? Jan Custer Bryan >>
