Okay...Johann Jakob Stutzmann (aka John Jacob Stutzman); son of ___; b. c. 1685 at Spiez?, Switzerland; m. ___ to Regina Elisabetha ___ (dau. of ___; b. 1685 at Switzerland; d. 1727 at sea; buried at sea?) at ___; arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2 Oct 1727 on the ship Adventurer, Capt. John Davies commanding, from Rotterdam, last from Plymouth, England; lost his wife and all his children except Jacob (I) and Christian (I) on the voyage; his property in Gonnheim was administered for him under care of a guardian, and it was surrendered in 1775 to the relatives on security; returned to Spiez, on Lake Thun, in the Aare Valley, Switzerland, leaving his two sons bound out in Berks Co., Pennsylvania, in the care of his fellow Amish to pay for his voyage; d. ___ presumably at Spiez, Switzerland; buried presumably at Spiez, Switzerland.
So...Jacob (I) Stutzman (1706-?) and Christian (I) Stutzman (bef. 1727-?) were his two sons that survived the journey from Europe.
