Johannes Jost Petrie
Johannes Jost Petrie was baptized on 28 February 1664 at Breitscheid (a village a few miles south of Siegen), Strassburg, Alsace, as the son of Johann Jost and Catharina Petri. Johannes was married to Anna Gertruyd, who we think was a Von Ringh or a Van Beigh. She was born at Breitscheid. Tradition says that Anna was of noble blood and may have been a cousin of Queen Anne, of England. They moved first to Heidelberg, Germany and later to the lower Palatinate.
Johannes Jost Petrie and Anna Gertruyd Von Ringh had at least ten children: Johan Jost was born in 1686, Anna Elisabetha was baptized in 1691,Jost Henrich was baptized in 1693, a son that was baptized on 6 January 1695, John Conrad was born at Strassburg in 1698, and Anna Gertraud was baptized in 1697, and died on 22 December 1700. Anna Catherine Petrie was baptized, at Strassburg, Alsace, on 5 May 1700. Then there was Christian, George, and Jacob. Johannes Petri died and was buried on 24 June 1700. This left Anna Petrie a widow with ten children ranging in age from 14 to an infant.
The Petries and Herkimers, like many other German and French, were driven from the Palatinate by religious persecution. In 1708, the first Palatine immigrants came to this country and settled at the present Newburg, New York. In January 1710, the second expedition left England and by June 1710, when the last vessel reached New York. Four thousand people had embarked; seventeen hundred died in passage or soon after landing. The Petries and Herkimers apparently came together on the second expedition in 1710.
Anna Petrie and at least three of her children emigrated from England in the Second Palatine Expedition in January 1710, and reached New York in June 1710. Catherine Petrie was ten at the time. Anna Petrie was listed on the New York Palatines Subsistence Lists of 1 July 1710 and 1712. Anna and two of her children were recorded at East Camp of Livingston Manor in 1711.
Anna's oldest son - Johan Jost Petri, was a soldier in Col. Nicholson's expedition against the French at Canada in 1711 at the age of seventeen. Also Jurg Herkimer was listed as among the 300 Palatines who went on the British expedition to Canada in 1711. Jurg Herkimer's son, Johann Jost Herkimer was then 16 years old. Anna's daughter, Catherine was eleven. Apparently Anna Petrie was very close to the Herkimers and the Schuylers. The Petries as well as the Herkimers were among those original Palatines, who settled at the Burnetsfield Patent.
After the 1711 expedition to Canada, Gov. Hunter began his experiment of having the Palatines produce tar and pitch for the British Navy. When the experiment proved unsuccessful, he released them from their contracts and ordered them to shift for themselves. Anna Petrie and Jurg Herkimer was among the fifty families moved to Schoharie, onto lands that had been promised to them by Queen Anne, only to learn that the lands had been granted to people in Albany. They were offered the land, rent free, for ten years. In 1720, when Gov. Burnet succeeded Gov. Hunter, orders were issued to move the Palatines to lands more suitable for them. Some families went to Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Conrad Weiser.

Even before the survey was made it was decided by the Council that each of these persons was to have a hundred acres of land, and the tract extended from Astenrogen on the east twenty-four English miles west, on both sides of the river. These forty-six persons, with their families formed the nucleus of the Herkimer Church, as the forty-six others who obtained lots on the south side made up the congregation of the Fort Herkimer church. At least three acres of the fifty low lands was to be cultivated in three years and the hundred acres was subject to an annual quit rent of two shillings and six pence. Provision was also made for roads.
