General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Berlin

---

On November 9, 1738, Georg Frederich Berlin took the oath of allegiance to the British government, in the colony of Pennsylvania. He came in the ship "Charming Nancy" from Rotterdam, Holland, and according to the record he was then eighteen years old. In view of the infrequent occurrence of this surname it is quite probable that he is the common ancestor of all the Berlins in Pennsylvania; and, although his ship came from Holland, the name seems very evidently a German name. A few decades later the family had a prominent part in the settlement of Manor, Franklin (now Penn) township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, persons of this name being among the earliest settlers. There were many Germans among the settlers in this district, and Northampton, York, Adams and Franklin counties all contributed settlers to Penn township. It is probable, therefore, that the Berlins there were not distantly related to the present family. The first of them was Jacob Berlin, who came from east of the mountains about the time of the whiskey insurrection. [GPHAV, 581]

He is a member of an old Western Pennsylvania family, thought to have been established in this country by Georg Frederich Berlin, who came to Pennsylvania from Rotterdam, Holland, on the ship "Charming Nancy" and took the oath of allegiance to the colonial government on November 9, 1738. In all probability he was a German by birth. [HNWP, 425]
