I have info on Abraham Wartman/Wortman who eloped with the daughter of the Prince of Rozmberyk (Bohemia) fled to New World.He was a cooper from Amsterdam.
My ancestor is George Wortman (174? to ca 178?) who with his wife Moriah and three sonssailed from PA to Nova Scotia aboard the ship Schuylkill in 1766.They arrive at The Bend (now Moncton, NB) on June 3, 1766.
