Buried Kermerlings Church Cem Family tradition: Phillip and his first wife are said to have had a small son who died young, but had been cared for by Anna Susanna after the death of her mother. When Anna's brother died, Phillip remarried and after much fighting her stepmother, Anna ran away from home to find her way to America. She met up with the family of John Peter Scholl and they took her under their wing. She sailed with them, working for her passage, on the skow "Louisa" and arrived at the port of Philadelphia on the 8th day of Nov 1752. The plague overtook the ship while on it's voyage to America and John's parents and siblings all perished. Anna married John about twenty years later. Her father, Phillip, and his second wife, Elizabeth Catherine, and at least 2 children are said to have sailed to America sometime later. Although this story is interesting, the baptismal record of Phillip's daughter, Maria Magdalena Scholl, dated 14 Apr 1751, New Hanover Lutheran Church in Falkner's Swamp, Montgomery, PA and his Land Patent of Berks Co., PA, dated 1751, show Phillip Peter had to have been in America no later than the summer of 1750. It is likely that perhaps Anna didn't get along with her stepmother and ran away from home to live with her Uncle after the family arrived in America as a unit.
