You were looking for 'SARLES' Try Phillipsburg, Putnam County, New York. Here is one genealogical publication I located through HeritageQuest. It appears to be a typewritten family history; I have no idea about its veracity. This is the only one I found online with a relevancy value of 4/5. Mack, Harry W. The Mack and Sine families : with allied families : Althouse, Sarles, Chard, Rosebush, Hills, Kromenaker, Grant and others Detroit?: E.P. Mack, 195-?, 78 pgs. Mr Mack claims that 'SARLES' was an English name but a few names which might be "PA-Deutsch" appear in the index.

Co., Baltimore) called "Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration: a British Government Redemptioner Project to Manufacture Naval Stores." It's about the nearly 3000 emigrants from the Rhine Valley brought to New York in 1710 to produce naval supplies (e.g., timber and pitch) for the British Navy. Others were brought to Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The ones brought to New York were unhappy with conditions in the camps there, and many went south, as you say, into Berks County. The settlement was known as Tulpehocken (not Tulepocken). > > The book lists the names of some 12,000 Germans who came to the U.S. under this program. Unfortunately, there is no unified index to the book; each list is given separately in the appendices, so please don't ask me to do a lookup (it is time-consuming to find someone using the hard copy). The book is available online via a subscription to GenealogyLibrary.com making it possible to quickly find a name via the search engine. > > > ==== PADUTCHgenONLY Mailing List ==== > ONLY GENEALOGY chat is allowed on this list.
