An abstract of the debt record of Jacob Race is contained in the book
"History of East Amwell Township" on page 77. I do not list the author in my
notes but the book is at the Family History Library in Salt Lake. As I
remember it was of recent publication and had a dark green cover. The will
of Johannes Hauschildt who married Neeltje and who was the father of
Elizabeth and Susannah Houshall who married Anthony and Andrew Trimmer
respectively is contained on page 42 of the same book. This book also lists
the bible record and the Neuweid origins.

On page 7 of "Some Descendants of Anthony Dierdorff, Jr." by Peters it lists
Anthony Jr., b. 15 Feb 1717 near Neuwied, Germany.

What is interesting is that about 20 kilometers northeast of Neuweid is the
village of Dierdorff. Is this coincidence???

The date of 1721 for the ALLEN arrival is as was said actually 1729 and no,
I do not have a proof of Anthony being on board other than conjecture.
Sorry!
