Rachiel and Christian are buried at the old Dale burying grounds on the back hill of Lamont, Pa.∼Taken from Christian's diaries, we traveled down the Rhine from Heilbronn,Germany, the trip lasting 6 weeks. It was a very difficult journey having to stop at 26 custom houses where all our luggage was checked. We spent another 6 weeks in Holland where the high prices used up the greater percentage of our money and then we sailed to Portsmouth, England, only to wait for another 2 weeks to be cleared to sail to the new country. Depending upon the weather it took 7-12 weeks to make the crossing. Christian arrived on the Ship Edenberg, disembarking in Philadelphia on September 15, 1749.
