According to
"We Are The Arney's" volume 1, issue 1 - 1994, There are records of
Frederich Ernigh and family coming to PA on board the "Pennsylvania
Merchant" on Sept 11, 1732. The ship left Rotterdam, Holland with a stop
in Plymouth, England. The record does not say where the Ernigh's boarded the
ship. Frederich and wife Anna Maria had two children with them, but there seems
to be no record of them once they arrived. It is possible that their names were
altered to save confusion in the new world. The name seems to have evolved
Ernigh / Earney /Erni / Arni / Arney. In Frederich's will made in 1771,
Colebrooksdale, Berk County, PA, he lists five children:
1. Margaret
(oldest daughter) m. Barnhard Zwietzich
2. Elizabeth
(youngest daughter) m. Abraham Dunglebarger
3. Jacob
(oldest son)
4. John
5. Michael
The ship
ÒPennsylvania MerchantÓ carried German ÒPalentineÓ immigrants. Mostly they came
from ÒThe PalatinateÓ which was situated west of the Rhine and north of the
French (Alsatian) border. Palentines may come from Germany, France, or
Switzerland. They became the ÒPennsylvania DutchÓ, or more correctly
ÒPennsyvania GermanÓ. Note the Arney (Ernigh) family married with the Fulks,
Erlewyns (Earlywines), Meckels and Romigs. All of these families were probably
ÒPalatineÓ Germans.
TAX LISTS (LFC): Found
several tax records for Colebrook Dale Twp., Berks Co., PA: In 1759 Frederick
Earney paid 8 pounds tax. In 1767 he was taxed on 120 acres, 2 horses, and 4
cattle. In 1768 he was taxed on 100 acres, 2 horses, and 2 cattle.
