Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vanderlip, Van Derlip, Vander Lippe Family in America: Also Including Some Account of the Von Der Lippe Family of Lippe, Germany, From Which the Norwegian, Dutch and American Lines Have Their Descent The emigrant ancestor of most of the members of the Vanderlip and Van Derlip family, living at the present time in the United States and Canada, was a William Vanderlip who came from Holland about 1756 and settled in Pennsylvania. The early immigration into the eastern part of this state differs in some important features from the settlement of any other of the original thirteen colonies, and as it has an important bearing on the subsequent life and fortunes of William Vanderlip, a brief review of the causes which brought to this section of the country so many settlers from continental Europe may be of interest. In the early part of the seventeenth century, the peasants, burghers, and great middle class of Germany were well-to-do. Their prosperity had been brought about by a long-continued peace, which gave to the people an opportunity of cultivating their fields and promoting agriculture. But unfortunately this condition of affairs did not long continue. In 1618 the Thirty Years War broke out, and six years later middle Germany was overrun by foreign troops, and for a quarter of a century the whole country was devastated by contending armies. This war was really a succession of them growing out of quarrels between the Catholics and Protestants of Germany, and which finally involved nearly all Europe.
