Raymond Danner
Patience and Margaret, 25 Sep 1748. Believed to have come from the
Palatinate region. Would like information on his birth, marriage,
siblings, and parents. I have fairly reliable information on his life
after he arrives in North Carolina but nothing before.
Thanks for your help.

On 16 December 1750, Johann Georg Danner, a wheelwright's son from
Schaffhausen, Switzerland, who had arrived in Pennsylvania that year and
was then living with Christian Benner, in Franconia Township (Montgomery
Co.), placed an advertisement in a German-language newspaper seeking his
brother, Jacob Danner, who had arrived in Pennsylvania the previous year
[from the newspaper "Pennsylvanische Geschichts-Schreiber", later called
the "Pennsylvanische Berichte", familiarly known as "Sower's Newspaper", as
abstracted in Edward W. Hocker, _Genealogical Data Relating to the German
Settlers of Pennsylvania and Adjacent Territory; From Advertisements in
German Newspapers Published in Philadelphia and Germantown, 1743-1800_
(Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., c.1980), p. 23].
Two individuals named "Hans Jakob Thanner" are listed as having emigrated
to the New World from CH-8233 Bargen, a village just inside Switzerland,
approximately 13 kilometers due north of Schaffhausen, on the road to
Blumberg (Baden):
1. Hans Jakob Thanner, who emigrated in 1749 to "Carolina" with his wife
and 3 children; and
2. Hans Jakob Thanner, nicknamed "Juck", who emigrated in 1750 to
Pennsylvania with his wife and children.
A Hans Georg Thanner, blacksmith, is listed has having emigrated with his
wife and daughter to Carolina from Bargen in 1751. They were among at
least 8 Thanner families that emigrated from Bargen to the New World
between 1742 and 1752 [Ernst Steinemann, "Zur Schaffhauserischen
Auswanderung," _Beitr"age zur vaterl"andischen Geschichte_
(Historisch-antiquarischer Verein des Kantons Schaffhausen), Nr. 13 (1936),
abstracted in "A List of Eighteenth-Century Emigrants from the Canton of
Schaffhausen to the American Colonies, 1734-1752," _Yearbook of the
Pennsylvania German Folklore Society_, 16 (1951), 185-196, and reprinted in
Don Yoder, ed., _Pennsylvania German Immigrants 1709-1786, Lists
Consolidated from Yearbooks of The Pennsylvania German Folklore Society_
(Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1980), pp. 336-337].
Please note that although the lists of immigrants published in
Strassburger-Hinke include several Danner/Thanner families, there is *no*
listing for either a Hans Jakob or a Hans Georg Danner/Thanner. The list
of adult male passengers who arrived on board the "Patience and Margaret"
and who signed the oaths of allegiance on 25 *October* 1748 includes no
"Danner" or "Thanner".
