Ship Passenger's List
1727 James Goodwill
[List 2 A, B] James Goodwill
Captain: David Crockett
From: Rotterdam
By Way of: Falmouth
Arrival: Philadelphia, 27 Sep 1727
A list
of 53 Palatines, who with their families making in all about two hundred
persons. Two numbers were listed following most of the men's names. These
numbers apparently have to do with the number of freights or price of transport.
It may mean the amount of freights prepaid, followed by those still owed, in
which case no numbers would indicate the family had prepaid for the entire
transport. Perhaps with time it will become more obvious what these numbers
mean. Everyone 16 years or older was counted as one freight, 4-15 were counted
as a half-freight, and those under 4 were transported for free.

Message: Frank, Do you have info that Hans Peter, son of Hans Dewalt or Diebold, is the father of Nicholas Leatherman, Sr?
See below: Charles--- Washington County, Hagerstown, MD
_____________
Hans Diebold and family, with the exception of eldest son Hans Peter, and the youngest (born PA) immigrated in 1727, arriving at Philadelphia, Penn aboard the ship 'James Goodwill' (master David Crocket) on September 27, 1727. He qualified Sept. 30, 1727, Philadelphia.
Fact 1: 1727, first Leatherman to arrive in United States from Rotterdam
Fact 2: ship of arrival, the James Goodwill, port of Philadelphia from Rotterdam
Fact 3: Sep 30, 1727, qualified
Fact 4: 6 in the family
Fact 5: May 19, 1735, Warrant of Survey for 100 acres, Philadelphia Co, Pa
Fact 6: Weaver by trade
------------------------------------
Hans Dewalt(Theobald) came from a small village by the name of Mattstall, Germany; however, it is now in present day France. It is about 30 kilometers west of Karlsrule. I have been to the small village and also to Lembach where they attended church.
They arrived in Phil. on Sept. 27,1727. They lived in Pa. and then Maryland. The youngest son Nicholas came to NC in 1762 with his older brother, Rev. Daniel Leatherman leading a wagon train of Brethren and later Rev. Daniel returned to his family in Maryland.
I am the 9th generation of Hans and we still live in the same area of NC. We are sure based on land records, wills, births that we are correct in our analysis. I also visited the town of Trippstadt, Germany where Hans was married to Anna Mara nee Engler.
Frank Leatherman
No Leathermans(Lederman) presently live in either Lembach or Mattstall. Sept. 2000
Hans Dewalt Leatherman was the first of this lineage to arrive in America. From Engle's records of immigrants to Pennsylvania, Hans was recorded to be one of the 200 Palatine passengers to arrive in Philadelphia on the ship, "James Goodwill", with David Crockett as Master. This ship came from Rotterdam, Holland to Portsmouth, England, then on the America, landing at Philadelphia, September 30, 1727. It is supposed that Hans lived and died in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He is thought to have had the following sons: Daniel, John, Peter, Michael, and possibly Nicholas. There is no recorded of who his wife was, but the above listed sons are pieces of information picked from records of the sons.
