General Notes: Husband - Anthon Bensinger

---

He came to America in the ship "Phoenix," William Wilson, commander, which sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, September 30, 1734. He was among the thirty thousand emigrants who came from Germany to United States during the years 1734-35. This emigration, according to Rupp, in his "Pennsylvania Centennial Edition of Collection of 30,000 Names of Emigrants," was due to interference with their religious liberty. A large majority of these emigrants settled in various parts of what was then Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and formed the nucleus of that sturdy people that became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
