Around 1709, the
Rhineland-Palatinate region between what is now known as
Germany and
France was highly contested by each side. At least 13,000 residents left for
Holland and
London. The
English sent them on to
America where close to 300 families, led by the Reverend Joshua Kocherthal and the Reverend Johann Frederick Hager, settled in the
Hudson River Valley, most noticeably in
Saugerties
