They sailed for America and arrived in Colonial America at Port Philadelphia, PA September 11, 1732. John and his wife Margaret were married about 1720. Their children were Carl (Charles) Hottel, b. @ 1722; Johannes (John) Hottel, [email protected] 1724; Heinrich (Henry) Hottel, [email protected] 1726; Jerick (George) Hottel, [email protected] 1728 and Anna (Barbara Anna) Hottel, b. @1730. The book only records the family lines of Charles, George and Barbara Anna. If your ancestor is in one of those lines I might be able to help. Please let me know.
