General Notes: Husband - Mathias Bausser

---

The first Bausser to emigrate to America of whom there is a definite record was Mathias Bausser, Sr., with his wife and family. The following records were made in Philadelphia, Sept. 28, 1733: "Palatines,\emdash brigantine Richard and Elizabeth. Christopher Clymer, master, from Rotterdam, and last from Plymouth,\emdash forty-four males above sixteen and thirty-four females; twenty-four males under sixteen and thirty-four females\emdash in all 137."
Among the names recorded as above sixteen are Mattheus Bausser, Mathies Bausser, Jr., and Christian Bausser. That Mathias Bausser, Sr., was a man of intelligence and capable of writing his own name are indicated by his well written signature\emdash in German. We find no record of Mathias Bausser, Sr., after his entrance into Pennsylvania, but that he and his family went to their countrymen at Lancaster, is more than probable by the fact that we find his son, Mathias, Jr., there in 1739.

In the Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd series, Vol. 17, are the names of foreigners who took the oath of allegiance to the Province and State of Pennsylvania. "Palatines: September 28, 1733, Brigantine, Richard and Elizabeth, Christopher Clymer, Master, from Rotterdam, last from Plymouth."
Passengers, 44 males above 16.
Passengers, 34 females above 16.
Passengers, 24 males under 16.
Passengers, 35 females under 16.
Mathias Bausser, aged 63; Mathias Bausser, Jr., aged 22; Christian Bausser, aged 18; also Daniel Bausser, under 16, took the oath September 28, 1733; i. e. on the day of their arrival. Along with the three given above there are the names of Esther Bausser, aged 49; Anna Elizabeth Bewser, aged 20; Jacob Bewser, aged 9½; Magdalena Bewser, 7½; Anna Maria Bewser, 4; Anna Catherina Bewser, 1½; Anna Elizabeth Bewser, 7; Anna Maria Bewser, 17 weeks.
The clerk of the court evidently made errors both in spelling the names and in the ages. Esther was the wife of Mathias, Sr., and Anna Elizabeth of Mathias, Jr. Anna Catherine, aged 1½ years, and Anna Maria, aged 17 weeks, were doubtless children of Mathias, Jr., and Anna Elizabeth.
In this list of family names we include as children of Mathias, Sr., several whose ages evidently were wrongly transcribed.
