There were not three (3) Voshell brothers who came to this country.There were two:Peter and Augustine.They were French Hugenots who settled in the Mohawk Valley in New York with the Germans in 1710.According to Kocherthal Records of that area, Peter Voshel and his wife Maria, had a daughter Anna Catharina, b. 3 August 1711.Peter Voshel is listed as a Frenchman.The Colonial Census of the West Camp (both towns on the West side of the Hudson, NY) for 1710: Peter Voshell, 1-0-0-1-0-0-0-2 and Augustine Voshell, 2-2-0-1-0-0-5(Men-boy 9 to 15-boys 8 & under-Women-girls 9 to 15-girs 8 & under-total of persons in household).There is no further mention of the Voshel family in New York after 1711, so it is thought that they migrated to Delaware, settling on land in Kent Co., DE.The earliest Voshell documented in Delaware is Obadiah Voshell, who owned land in Murderkill Hundred 1 September 1727.He is reported to have been the son of Augustine Voshell and Catherine, his wife.The earliest estate papers for a Voshell in Delaware belong to Peter Voshell, 1732-1734 and then Susannah Voshell 1733-1736.These records can be gotten from the Delaware Archives in Dover, DE.Daniel Voshell's estate was filed and settled in Kent Co., DE 1821-1824This Daniel Voshell was the son of Obadiah Voshell, who's estate was filed 1796-1804.Children of Obadiah Voshell were:Titus, James, Daniel, Nancy and Owen.I hope that some of this helps with the Voshell research.I descend from Thomas Voshell of Kent Co., DE and have just found out that his father was James Voshell and his mother was Mary?.Thomas had a brother John, sisters Lydia Ann and Mary Elizabeth, who m'd 1-?Jacobs and 2-Benjamin D. Burrows.
