This is substantially correct.The wars in question were the 30 Years War and the War of the Spanish Succession.Louis and Richelieu had it in for Rhine-Palatine because of its Calvinist history and because many Huguenots had fled there after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes.The war of Spanish Succession in particular caused a general depopulation of Rhine-Palatine.Our lot, which had asked Queen Anne for succor, arrived in New York on 10 June, 1710.My sources do not say what ship.(History lesson from Encyclopedia Brittanica; Arrival date from Roscoe).
