| Howell House, in Germantown |
My eighth great grandaunt, Mary Tyson, wife of Jan Lucken, dies at the age of 82 in Germantown.
Mary was born in Kaldekirchen, Germany, the daughter of Mathias Dohrs & Agnes Neesgen Op den Graeff. She and Jan immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1683.
(In the end of the 17th century some of the Op den Graeff`s descendents migrated to the United States. They are among the thirteen families (Original 13) often referred to as the Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Founders, who arrived on the ship Concord on October 6, 1683.)
