1774-Ship Records of This Year.
Six vessels carrying Palatines ar- rived in Philadelphia harbor this year: The Ship "Snow Sally" under Capt. Stephen Jones, Aug. 15, S passengers.

The Ship "Sally" under John Osmond from Rotterdam, Oct. 31, 52 passengers.
Fourteen vessels carrying Palatines arrived in Philadelphia harbor this year: The Ship "Pennsylvania" un- der Peter Osborne from London April 1774-Local German-Swiss and the Revolution. 30, 22 passengers. The Ship "Cath- arine -- Sutton" under (name not given) April 30, 18 passengers. The All readers of local history know that, beginning with 1774, the County of Lancaster in common with other counties and sections of the Province of Pennsylvania held patriotic meet- ings protesting against Great Britain's treatment of us and also held meet- ings to draw up resolutions upon the sufferings of Boston and New England in general. Among the persons who attended the meetings there was al- ways a considerable number of our Ship "Brigantine Dolphin" under Ar- thur Hill from London May 31, 36 pas- sengers. The Ship "Carolina" under Benj. Loxley Jr. from London June 4, 8 passengers. The Ship "Sally" under John Osmond from Rotterdam Aug. 23, 114 passengers.

did their part nobly in that struggle as well as others.
1775 -- Ship Records of This Year.
Just two vessels carrying Palatines arrived in Philadelphia harbor this year: The Ship "Catharine" under John Baron from London, Jan. 16, 7 passengers. The Ship "King of Prus- sia" under William Potts from Rotter- dam, Oct. 9, 68 passengers.
1775-Amish Mennonite Immigrants.
In Vol. 7, Haz. Reg. 150 may be found a monograph called "History of the Amish, etc."; it is only a sketch however. Among a number of other things the author speaks of these men wearing long red capes; and the women wearing neither bonnet, hat nor capes but a string is tied around the head so the hair is kept from fall- ing in their faces. He says that they lived in a limestone country and near the Pequea, whose water was clear and cold. As to worldly possessions he says that they desired very little and gives an instance of a brother of the faith being offered 1000 acres of land by the Penns free, to gain this influential man's favor and thereby stimulate purchase of land in that neighborhood. The writer states that the old churchman refused it saying that it was against the church as they did not believe nor approve of a man owning more land than he could cul- tivate.
In the same article a petition is set forth addressed by these people to William Penn or his son dated 1718 which is quite interesting and which we have mentioned in its proper place in these annals.
1775-Joseph Ferree Begins Gunmak- ing for the War.
In 10 Col. Rec., page 290, under the date of July 22, there was a resolu- tion passed by the Committee of Safety as follows:
"RESOLVED That a messenger be sent to Joseph Ferree, of Lancaster County with a letter from this Com- mittee requesting him to complete the guns wrote for as patterns, and to know how many he can furnish of the same kind and at what price." This little item is sufficient to show us that Lancaster County and its Ger- man-Swiss had a prominent position in the time of the Revolutionary War. There were others besides Joseph Ferree making guns in the towns of Lancaster.
1776-Mennonites Confession of Faith.
We have stated at a prior place in these annals something of the Dor- trecht Confession of faith under the date of 1632 and of the first confession of faith in the new world at Con- estoga about 1721.
We now notice that the Mennonites revised their confession of faith in the European countries about 1776. In Vol. 7, Haz. Reg. 129 it is stated that the Mennonites followed a confession of faith about that date composed by Cornelius Riss, preacher, and which was published that year at Hamburg. He goes on to say that this gave them new life in Europe and that they launched out on education; and erect- ed the Mennonite College at Amster- dam. Considerable more is set forth in the article just mentioned.
1776-German-Swiss in the Revolu- tionary War.
Vol. 4, Penna. Arch. 774 we are told of the formation of the German Bat- talions for the War. Not only is this so but there were several German regiments in the War. One of the Ger- man regiments was very largely made up of Lancaster County Germans.
1777 -- Germans Against Military Laws.
In Vol. 5, Penna. Arch., page 343, we find set forth that the local German- Swiss people were very much opposed

to methods which would make a mili- the struggle would be lost and their tary nation of America; and again on treatment from Great Britain would be harder than ever. This led them to refuse to sell cattle for war pur- poses; (Pa. Arch. Vol. 8, page 329) and also to oppose the payment of war taxes. Do. 330. The result was a large number of them were impris- oned for this matter of conscience. 8 Do., page 343. page 504 they voiced their opposition to military proceedings in very cer- tain and positive tones. In the same book, page 396, it is recorded they re- fused to sell their produce for military purposes believing that the country was taking a wrong course. In the same Vol., p. 427, we find these breth- ren meeting and passing remonstrances 1780-German Society for Relief of Germans. against military action. About the same time in the same Vol., page 576, we find these same brethren taking a positive stand and resorting to stren- uous actions at York. A similar ac- count of other proceedings may be found, page 414; and page 768 another stand against militarism in Pennsyl- vania is recorded as being taken. The leaders of these Germans were wide readers and thoughtful students and their newspaper was highly respected and was subscribed for by the Govern- ment so that the authorities might be able to keep in touch with German- Swiss thought and action. Col. Rec. 11, page 409. The paper however was discontinued the next year. Col. Rec. 11, p. 573.
1778-"Dutch" Disaffection.
In the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. of 1715, page 233, there can be found an article upon what the writer terms to be the disaffection of the German-Swiss for the stand this country was taking against Great Britain. However this may be, these people did valiant serv- ice in that struggle. They did how- ever renew their complaint against the oath which was attempted to be urged upon them. Vol. 6 Penna. Arch. 572.
1780-German-Swiss and Revolution- ary War Taxes.
This year as may be seen in Vol. 10 St. L. 355 the suffering of the German- Swiss people of Pennsylvania caused a law to be passed to incorporate a German Society for contributing relief to the distressed Germans in Pennsyl- vania. The act says that the Germans by their numerous settlements in Penn- sylvania have greatly contributed to the wealth and strength of the State; and that it is necessary to furnish re- lief to those who need assistance here, and teach their children the English and German languages, thereby allow- ing these children to finish their stud- ies at the University at Philadelphia and to have means of creating a library. A society for these purposes was needed. The act then goes on to set forth the organization of the so- ciety and to mention its purposes, and give the names of original founders. This shows that they were enterpris- ing for an education and general wel- fare.
1782-The German-Swiss Disregard the Prohibiting of Trade With Great Britain.
In Vol. 13 Col. Rec., pages 317 and 328, it is set forth that some of the Gernian-Swiss people began selling, buying and dealing in British goods ; in spite of the fact that the Colonies had determined not to deal in British trade in any manner whatever. Those who did so were severely punished as

JACOB FRIES' TREASON TRIAL.
Rec., page 546, there is an account of in the proceedings of the Pennsylvania the seizure of some of these goods State Bar Association held at Erie, 1914. It is interesting to note that Judge Chase was impeached for cer- tain acts occurring in these treason proceedings. that were dealt in by some of their people in defiance of what the patriots had decided upon. This clashing of views between those who felt it their Christian duty to live a life of non- It was our intention to bring these annals down to the time of the Revo- lutionary War. Having done so, we now conclude the series. The items set forth in the latter part of this work are simply specimen items illus- trating the trend of the life of these people and their general policy. It is not pretended that all of their doings are here chronicled, but only a few of them. Many thousand items that might have been written concerning them from 1750 onward are not taken in the scope of this work. Many of the items of this volume have been gath- ered from rare sources and translat- ed from the Dutch and German lan- guages; in which languages the orig- inal manuscript which we have con- sulted were written. resistance and to obey the oaths to support the British government they had taken when they were permitted to enter Pennsylvania on one hand, and the patriots on the other hand (who were determined to break the bands which bound them to British author- ity) caused many bold, open out- breaks. One of the most noted of these was that of the action of Jacob Fries who refused to pay Revolution- ary War taxes and defied the United States Government to such an extent that he was tried for treason. The full particulars of the trial may be found in Vol. 1S of the proceedings of the Lancaster County Historical So- ciety, page 87. There is a document connected with this trial; namely a petition signed by some of the Ger- We feel that the estimate we gave in the opening paragraph of this work is justified by the material included within these covers. man sympathizers of Jacob Fries ask- ing release from these burdensome conditions, in the library of the Lan- caster County Historical Society.
On the corner of the document are the initials of the President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. Other - particulars concerning the trial are found in the paper of Lewis Richards
Our task is now at an end and we leave it to the consideration and judg- ment of those who shall read the his- tory which, we feel that, herein we have helped to preserve.
