General Notes: Husband - Philip Ament


He came from Germany to America and died when his children were quite young.

The family name was originally written "Amend."
"There were six arrivals. The first was John George Amend, in Sept., 1732." "The Amends who were the ancestors of George Ament Blose were the following: Ship 'Lydia,' sailed from Rotterdam; arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 20, 1743; had on board George Ament , age sixty, and John Philip Ament, age twenty; the latter was probably a son. In York County, they are called Auman now. Pennsylvania Archives, Volume XVII, 2d Series, p. 244, etc."
