Pierre Delon arrived in Philadelphia, 15 Sep 1736 on the Princess Augusta. The ship's Captain Marchant, a name of French origin, in his ships records, singled out seven families. These were the families of Nicholas Strasbach, Joseph Noel, Eneas Noel, John Francis Christian, Peter Delon, Nicholas Gerard, and Francis Ory and his adult son Nicholas. When the males of the Princess Augusta appeared before the Philadephia court for clearance, the following of this group signed in their own handwriting: Francois Ory, Nicolas Ory, Jean Francois Chretien, N Gerard, Pierre Dulon, and Joseph Noel. Nicholas Strasbach was recorded as Nicolas Trasbart and Nicollas Drasbart. Joseph Noel, Peter Delon, John Francis Christian, Nicholas Strasbach, and Nicholas Ory settled north of the Pigeon Hills area of York County, PA. The Strasbach (Strausbaugh), Noel, and Delon (Dillon) families stayed in this settlement for some time and some of their descendants still live in this area. Part of the Strausbaugh, Noel, and Dillon families moved to Buchanan Valley in northwest Adams County, and descendants of these Strasbaugh and Dillon families still live in the area.
