Catharine NEWCOMER(5) was born after
1750.(8)2. Johannes "Hans" NEWCOMER
(1)(5)
(6) was born about 1707 in , , Switzerland.
He died on 25 Aug 1760 in Strasburg, Lancaster, PA.
(7) Johannes Newcomer bought 100 acres from Martin and A. Kendig in
Strasburg, Pennsylvania around 1720.
A Hans Newcomer came to Chester County, Pennsylvania from the Palatine, Germany
in 1711. This may be Johannes Newcomer. If so, this would support the theory
that Peter Newcomer, Johannes's father, actually came in 1711. The 1717 date
is when a group of settlers gained title to their land after 6 years of making
payments. Thus, it is likely that the 1717 date has been cited mistakenly for
the date of immigration when it should be the date of gaining ownership.
Another possibility is that Joshannes preceded his father, Peter Newcomer, by
six years.
