DEWALT ARRIVED ABOARD THE SHIP "NEPTUNE" CAPTAINED BY CAPTAIN WILKINSON IN OCTOBER 25, 1746 TO PORT AT PHILIDELPHIA. HE CAME WITH HIS UNCLE , CASPER DEWALT.
SAID TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN WURTENBURG GERMANY IN 1728 ACCORDING TO ONE SOURCE (COMPILED BY EBER COCKLEY MEYERSDALE IN 1960 FOR THE HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF SOMERSET COUNTY PA. ) WURTEMBERG DOES NOT EXIST TODAY AS A TOWN BUT IS A REGION / PROVINCE OF GERMANY.

IN ANOTHER DOCUMENT FROM THE HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF SOMERSET COUNTY DEWALT IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN 1728 AT LORRAINE FRANCE AND MARRIED MARY JANE DORMER ( or DORNER) FROM GERMANY IN 1748.

LDS RECORDS LIST DEWALT AS HAVING BEEN BORN NOV 6, 1727 IN LAMBSBORN, FRANCE WHICH I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE AS A TOWN EITHER..... HOWEVER THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH SUGGESTS THAT THE ANKNEY FAMILY DID COME FROM FRANCE.

ANOTHER SOURCE ( A BOOK WRITTEN IN SOMERSET COUNTY IN ABOUT 1949 BY CHARLES ROSS SHULTZ ) STATES THAT THE ANKENY FAMILY IS THOUGHT TO HAVE ORIGINATED IN FRANCE NEAR FLANDERS AND THAT THE ORIGINAL NAME WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN ENGHEN.
