"The Palatine Families of New York"
by Henry A. Jones, Jr.
Volume I
Pages 353 - 355
Johannes HEYDT was a Bonfeld landowner, butcher, and heiligenp-fleger (holy nurse).
_______
Anna Magdalena, first wife of Johannes, died in Bonfield in 1695. Johannes remarried to Anna Maria, a widow, and they had several young children.
The Heydts left from Germany via the Netherlands, where they were sent to England, which was trying to figure out what to do with the overwhelming tide of immigrants.
When they boarded the ship in England for New York on the 15th of July 1709, the party consisted of Johannes, Anna Maria, and their young children, plus their son Jost, his wife Anna Maria (Merckle), and their little daughter, Maria Elizabeth "Mary".
When they got off the ship in New York at Nutter's Island, Maria "Hayd" was on the list as "head of the family" next to the name of her stepson, Jost.
Therefore, it is assumed that Johannes, 60, and his four young children, ages 2-10, were lost at sea.
Typhoid was rampant on the ship, and passengers were not allowed off in New York until their health improved. Johannes and his younger children may have survived typhoid being held elsewhere until they were fully recovered, thus he and those children were not listed with the healthy passengers and his healthy wife, Maria was listed as the head-of-family with Jost, Anna Maria, and little Maria "Mary" who were free to leave the ship.
The governor of New York was handling the immigrants and created lists.
In June 1710 Jost, Anna Maria, and their daughter Maria Elizabeth were on a list.
In August 1710 Johannes' wife was listed. That was the last her name appeared, so it is unknown whether she died or remarried.
