Marianne S. Wokeck, Trade in Strangers: The Beginnings of Mass Migration to
North America (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press,
1999).
p. 274: "The papers in Philadelphia (Pennsylvanische Berichte, American Weekly
Mercury) reported that the captain in effect forced the German immigrants to
land in Charleston rather than Philadelphia and that the ship was chased by
French privateers."

Brentwood’s Petitions For Land From South Carolina Council
Journals

Page 11: Meeting of 2d January 1744/5
His Excellency also aquatinted the Board that the Palatine Protestants to the
number of one hundred, who had lately arrived in Capt. Brown’s Ship came on the
31st of December last, in a Body to the Council Chamber and took the State Oaths
to His Majesty, all of them having determined to remain and settle in this
Province.
24 Jan 1744/5:
Read the petition of a considerable number of Protestant Palatines, most humbly
showing that the poor petitioners have been on board the St. Andrew’s, Captain
Brown commander, these twenty-six weeks past, and there is as yet no likelihood
for them to get free of her, because there are none of us yet who have purchased
their service; they therefore humbly pray his Excellency and Honors that they
may find so much favor as to their passages that a sum equivalent to discharge
the same be raised by the government, for which they promise to join in a bond
to repay the same within the term of three years, with lawful interest; and that
if any of them shall not be able to pay the above sum within that time, that the
government in that case shall have full power to dispose of them and their
families as they shall think proper, &c. Ordered to make investigations and
report.
