The flow of our family’s émigrés from Europe to the colonies was rapidly dwindling during this momentous quarter century with only 16 additional travelers arriving on ten ships; most came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (16) and three to South Carolina. They came from Germany (10), Switzerland (6), Scotland (1) and Ireland (1).
Just one year after the first two families arrived during this quarter century, the North Americas were building toward climatic change. European tensions were about to erupt in what is known as the French and Indian War from 1753-1760. French land and economics drove the contention, and blocked westward expansion of the primarily British/Germanic emigrants. Even though the British came out as victors, it came close to bankrupting the English economy and resulted in the levying of heavy taxes on the colonists to pay for the war. Also adding to the mounting pressures was the presence of 10,000 British troops who had been sent for the war and were never withdrawn from the colonies. In The Quartering Act of 1765 the King of England demanded colonists shelter British soldiers and provide food, water, and transportation even if they didn't have enough food or water for their family. Conflagration just needed a match, and it was to explode soon after our families of this quarter century settled in their new homeland.
