    Name: Daniel Schuy
    Name: Born Daniel Juis
    Birth: ABT 6 APR 1703 in Oggersheim, Pfalz, DEU 1
    Death: MAY 1777 in Bethel Twp, Lancaster Co., PA 2
    Baptism: 9 APR 1703 Oggersheim Reformed: David Juy & Maria, sponsors 3
    Immigration: 9 SEP 1732 Philadelphia, on the ship Johnson, from Rotterdam.
    Note: In spite of the claims of other family historians, Daniel was baptised, not born, on 9 Apr, 1703. (Reformed KirchenBuchen, Oggersheim, Pfalz, DEU.) Given the usual practice of the German Reformed community of the day, that would place his birth sometime between 03 Apr and 06 Apr of 1703.
    Daniel Schuy arrived in the Pennsylvania Colony on 19 Sep, 1732, aboard the Johnson from Rotterdam. Apparently unable to write his name, he was originally listed as Daniel "Schwe" (an inadvertent Anglicazation of "Juis"?) on List A (Passenger List), then recorded as Daniel "Schew" (An accidential transposition of the original mistake?) on List B (Signers of the Oath of Allegiance), and finally, on List C (Signers of the Oath of Abjuration) he appears as Danl Schuhl. With Daniel were Maria Margaretha (Schilling), his wife, "Lodawick" - the clerk's bungled attempt at "Ludwig", the nickname of Lewis Henry, a son, and Anna Maria, their eldest daughter. The name of his younger son, Johannes, is absent from the list.

    To date, there is an 8 1/2 year gap between the arrival of Daniel and his family in Philadelphia abt. 19 Sep, 1732 and the next time his name appears in the public record. On 18 Jun, 1741, Daniel Schuy and wife Anna Maria served as sponsors at the baptism of Anna Margaret Matern -- dau. of Thomas and Anna Margaret Matern -- at Swatara Reformed Church, in Bethel Twp, in what is now Lebanon, but was then Lancaster Co, PA.
