On Oct 25, 1685, Pastorius, made with the Governor's (and that would be
Wm Penn) concurrence, laid out and planned Germantown or Gemanoples.

Pastorius says that Germans built a little chapel in Germantown in 1686.

Pastorius sailed from Deal on June 7th A.D. 1683, with four males and
two female servants. There were 80 passengers. The food given was poor.
On Aug. 16th the American continent was sighted and the capes of
Delaware entered on the 18th. New Castle and Upland were passed on the
20th and Phila. reached that evening. William Penn and his secretary
