The ship's name was the Robert and Alice according to Russell Dufford. The Dufford family came from Langensoultzbach France in 1738 after a six month journey down the Rhine River to Rotterdam where they found a captain and ship and sailed to Cowles England, a stop required by the British government. They then set sail for the Colonies, specifically Philadelphia, landing Sept. 11, 1738. From there, a band of Indians lead them to what was then known as Long Valley. The name was later changed to German Valley, then back to Long Valley during World War I.
Philip Dufford, (Tofort, Tufford, Duford, Deforb, Dufurs); the name suggests a Huguenot origin, perhaps originally Devoor or Dufour. The name is spelt many different ways because, it is assumed, that Philip and his children could not read nor write, so that records that were written were the way the Anglican writers interpreted them.
