His Will was signed 25 Oct 1720 and Proved 5 Jun 1721. Therefore, he died sometime in-between. The New Style date would be 1 Jan 1721; and fits the chronology between the Will signing and the Will Proven dates. Contributor: Barry Smith (49150542) bas.auburn@gmail.com
SOURCE: TELNOR EMIGRATION PARTY, 1684
On March 1682, William Penn conveyed to Jacob Telner of Krefeld, Jan Streypers of Kaldenkirchen, and Dirck Sipman of Krefeld, each 5,000 acres of land in Pennsylvania. Jacob Telner was a merchant in Amsterdam and had contacts with the Quakers in London and some people in New York. After being granted the land in Pennsylvania he began to advertise extensively.
In 1683, he accompanied the 13 families that emigrated on the ship Concord to Rotterdam. He recruited many emigrants to join him in going to Pennsylvania the following year from Mulheim and was a key figure in the 1684 emigration.
In Mulheim [Ruhr], Theodor Undereyck, who had studied in England among the Presbyterians, Baptists, Quakers, and others, was the pastor during the 1660's. His successor, the Reformed pastor, Arnold Siebel, visited William Penn in Duisburg in 1677. Four years later [1681], Penn was granted Pennsylvania by King Charles II. The teacher Labadie from Holland also taught new doctrines in Mulheim. There was a group of dissidents in Mulheim as a result of exposure to these ideas which included the schoolmaster Backhaus and the tailor Verfohren of Styrum.
Among the people here Jacob Telner and offers from the Frankfurt Company were able to entice emigration of many to Germantown Township, Pennsylvania in 1684, 1687, and 1696, including at least 33 emigrants. The trip to New York took 12 weeks, and they arrived in New York on 12 December 1684.
Jan Linderman, of Mulheim, Ruhr, Rheinland, was a Silversmith.
