General Notes: Husband - Dielman Kolb


In 1717, on the 21st of March, they left Ibersheim, in the Palatinate, for Pennsylvania, where they safely arrived on the 10th of August, 1717, at Philadelphia. He came about ten years later than his brothers Martin, Jacob, Henry and Johannes. He lived at Manheim [Germany?], where he attended as a preacher of the Mennonite congregation, and making himself most valuable and useful by receiving and lodging his fellow-believers, who fled from Switzerland on account of their religious belief, as appears from a letter dated August 27, 1710. He subsequently emigrated to Pennsylvania, where he, in connection with Heinrich Funk, supervised the translation of Van Braght's " Martyrs' Mirror " from the Dutch into the German language, and certified to its correctness.

He died in 1757, leaving a large estate, which (except for a small tract he devised to his grandson, Dielman Ziegler) he bequeathed to his daughter, Elizabeth.
