    1. Re: [PADutch] 1778 Oath of Allegiance
    2. Indeed there were intermarriages with American Indians in eastern PA. One of the earliest of the Brethren, Johann Jakob Preisz from Schwartzenau, apparently arranged a marriage of his sickly only son, Johannes, to an Algonquin lady of the Unami (Turtle) tribe, about 1720. She gave birth to 2 sons before Johannes died about 1724. This happened in what is now Lower Salford Twp., Montgomery County. Thus the thousands of descendants of the 2 "Price" brothers carry Algonquin ancestry along with the German. Documentation is in the book "A Genealogy of The Descendants of Rev. Jacob Price: Evangelist--Pioneer" compiled for The Price Family Association by Geo. F. P. Wanger, The Evangelical Press, Harrisburg, PA, 1926.
