Henry Stull (1806-1887) is the son of Henry Stull and Susannah ? Henry was born in Franklin Co., Penn. around 1765. He was the son of Ludwig Stull, Ludwig, who died in 1806, was one of the earliest settlers in Franklin Co.,
Penn. He purchased land there in 1755. He served in the Rev. War, along with Valentine Stull. This relationship has not yet been determined.
I have located a record of Valentin Stoll, a single man, endentured to pay for his passage to America, in the list of Communicants of the Hill Church, (Luthern) in Pike Co., in Berks Co., Penn. in 1754. He appears in the passenger list of the ship, "Rawley", docking in Philadelphia, 23 Oct 1752. The name of Ludwig Stull does not appear on the ships list, but it should be remembered, that only persons above the age of 16 were named. Several other passengers on that ship have been traced to villages in the Saarland District of Germany, near the French border. Other members of the Berks Co., Congregation have been traced into Franklin Co., Penn.
Any information on the descendants of David, Lawrence and Susan, who apparently stayed in Ogle Co., Ill. would very much be appreciated.Probate-Will of Henry Stull
