Note
At Philadelphia, we have the arrival of Johann Jacob Odenkirchen, his wife and three children on the BRIGANTINE RECOVERY ‎(31 Oct. 1771)‎ The ships log indicated Johann Jacob Odenkirchen came over from the Palitinate region ‎(Middle or Upper Rhine region)‎of present day Germany. Also in 1771, his son John Peter Odenkirken arrived in Philadelphia as an indentured servant to Daniel Clymer on Nov 1 1771 Residence was listed as Philadelphia and the term of indenture was 6 yr 10 mo and 7 days Amount L25.

Note: In the 18th and early 19th century, the term \"Palatine\" was used in America to describe immigrants from \"The Palatinate\" and other adjoining German-speaking areas. Finding an American reference to someone being from the \"Palatinate\" may not point to a specific place of origin, but rather an approximate location in or near western or southern Germany.

We can only speculate about why they came to America, but sometime after they arrived both sons are listed as owning farms in Berks Co. Pennsylvania. Thousands of other Germans were also attracted to the colony and, by the time of the Revolution, comprised a third of the population. The volume of German immigration increased after 1727, coming largely from the Rhineland. The Pennsylvania Germans settled most heavily in the interior counties of Northampton, Berks, Lancaster and Lehigh, and neighboring areas. Their skill and industry transformed this region into a rich farming country, contributing greatly to the expanding prosperity of the province.

Pennsylvania was a leading agricultural area and produced surpluses for export, adding to its wealth. By the 1750s, an exceptionally prosperous farming area had developed in southeastern Pennsylvania. Wheat and corn were the leading crops, though rye, hemp, and flax were also important. This may have been the attraction for our family.
