General Notes: Husband - Johan Heinrich Zoeller

---

He came to America in 1708. The Zoellers were of German and French extraction, the place of their nativity being Hesse Darmstadt. On account of religious persecution they left their native land, determined to seek a home where they might worship God according to their own manner and belief. They accordingly went to England, where, as they were men of some means, they purchased from Good Queen Anne patents for land in what is now the State of New York. They located in Livingston Manor, but under the persecutions of the Palatinates, freeholders in 1723 received no more consideration than others, so they left New York and came to Tulpehocken, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The land on which they settled was long owned and lived upon by some male member in the direct line. Eventually it became the possession of Mr. Monroe Zoeller, a gentlemen of rare ability, highly educated, a fine musician, and a man whose extensive travel took him over a very large part of both hemispheres. The deeds to this tract of land dated back to 1696.
